2025 AMAs Red Carpet Was Pure Chaos—in the Best Way Possible
The 2025 American Music Awards officially kicked off Monday night at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and the red carpet was anything but subtle. From daring sheer fabrics to eye-popping colors and head-scratching style risks, this year’s AMAs set the tone for a night of no rules, just bold fashion energy.
Vegas Wasn’t Ready for This Fashion Explosion
Before a single award was handed out, celebrities were already making major statements on the red carpet. The fashion game? Loud, proud, and off the chain. From vintage-inspired glam to futuristic fits, the stars didn’t just arrive—they made entrances.
Kehlani Stuns in Sheer Mini Dress
R&B singer Kehlani turned heads early with a sultry, semi-sheer mini dress that hugged in all the right places. The intricate detailing and strategic shimmer gave her a radiant glow under the Vegas lights. Pairing the look with sleek, pulled-back hair and minimal accessories, Kehlani let the dress do all the talking.
“That’s how you shut down a red carpet before the show even starts,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Heidi Montag Goes Full Glam in Electric Blue
Reality TV star Heidi Montag made a surprising yet stunning appearance in a dazzling electric blue jumpsuit, which featured a plunging neckline and dramatic shoulder pads. The bold outfit was topped off with a sharp new bob cut, showing off a more polished, high-fashion side of the star. If this was Heidi’s comeback moment, it definitely worked.

Rebecca Black’s Bridal-Sailor Fusion Look Turns Heads
Rebecca Black may have dropped “Friday” over a decade ago, but tonight, she dropped jaws. The singer-songwriter showed up in what can only be described as a bridal-meets-sailor hybrid ensemble — a wild combination of ruffles, sheer panels, and a structured collar that had fashion critics both confused and obsessed.

Alix Earle, one of social media’s breakout stars, stunned in a barely-there crystal mesh number that had every lens pointed her way.
The Guys Stepped Up Too
While the ladies brought the glam, the gents weren’t slacking. Rising pop heartthrob Benson Boone looked runway-ready in a tailored deep green velvet suit, giving classic with a twist. EDM king David Guetta kept it cool with a monochrome look and statement shades, while Dylan Efron proved that less is more in a minimalist, well-fitted tux.
Where’s Taylor Swift? Fans on Alert
One thing was missing: Taylor Swift. Fans had been buzzing all week about a potential surprise appearance or performance, but so far, there was no sign of her on the red carpet. Still, with the night just beginning, Swifties everywhere are holding their breath.
“No Taylor yet… but if she shows up, everyone else is in trouble,” one tweet read.
All Eyes on J.Lo—Fashion Storm Incoming
With Jennifer Lopez not only hosting but also performing, many attendees knew better than to try and steal her thunder. Still, every outfit on the carpet felt like it was designed to at least hold its own until J.Lo’s fashion hurricane touched down.
And based on the fire she brought to the stage last year—and her already headline-making opener this year—it’s safe to say Lopez will dominate both fashion and performance categories before the night is over.
