I truly appreciate the drama in this look, but it's also Alexis Carrington's St Tropez swimsuit coverup over a leotard.

Ciara
American Music Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, California, USA - 22 Nov 2020
This is VERY on brand for Ciara and also makes her look like she's heading to her cult's Christmas party.
Dua Lipa in Versace
She was in London, so they must have flown over this chunk of step-and-repeat just for her. People did a varied job here at pretending they were surprised to win, but she seemed charming and grateful, and unperturbed by what a weird combination this is. The sea-creature pattern is one thing; the baby-doll ruffle, another, and then it looks like her boobs are wearing metallic sweaters.
Paris Hilton in Valdrin Sahiti

Speaking of on brand! (I secretly appreciate this, though. It's the sort of thing people used to wear to Vegas back when we could go to Vegas without worrying about catching or spreading a fatal disease to people.)

Same, actually. (She's the current Bachelorette, if you're not watching, and she's actually delightful on the show so far. She's a really good sport.)

BTS
American Music Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, California, USA - 22 Nov 2020
BTS decided to bring us a real High School Chorus Uniform vibe to this event, something I recognize from my own personal lived experience.

"Um, so, what should I wear that says, 'I take this moment in time seriously,' but ALSO that I am sexy?"

Please let me know when people stop wearing outfits that are this underpant-forward. I'm ready for this change to come.

Sure! This as a Cruise Ship Musical Vibe about it that is sort of appealing, like she could rip off the dress to reveal a romper and burst into a tap dance.
