It's time for Wonderwall.com to judge the fashion from the 2020 American Music Awards on Nov. 22! First up, we have one of Hollywood's hottest couples — Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly — who made their red carpet debut at the big event. The couple looked exceptionally sharp for the occasion, with Megan donning an emerald green minidress by Azzi and Osta with cut-outs, an asymmetrical neckline, a single sleeve and a ruffled detail that draped from the waist. She added black Giambattista Valli sandals with gold embellishments along the ankle to complete her gorgeous look. MGK opted for an all-white Balmain look — which included a jacket with a plunging neckline that showed off his chest tattoos — and shiny silver boots.

A beauty in Balmain! Jennifer Lopez opted for a slinky silver sequined set at the American Music Awards. The superstar's two-piece look included a cropped long-sleeved top with a plunging neckline and a skirt with a sky-high slit. She also added diamond earrings and rings from Luminous Diamonds. And when it came to her beauty look, she opted to try something new…

We weren't wild about Bebe Rexha's slinky silver moment. The star's Julien Macdonald look was very similar to Jennifer Lopez's Balmain gown, but featured a very daring cut-out and asymmetrical neckline that didn't feel necessary with the super-high slit. Though we didn't love the dress, her stacks of silver Loree Rodkin bracelets and simple silver sandals were a hit.
Dua Lipa channeled the deep blue sea in this stunning Versace minidress. It featured all-over starfish-shaped embellishments, an embellished bustier and a super-subtle pale pink ruffled hemline. She added some metallic silver platform sandals and gold jewelry to the mix including an ankle bracelet, layered bracelets, a necklace and a hair barrette. We'll take a closer glimpse at her beauty look next…
Dua Lipa added to her ocean-inspired ensemble with gorgeous icy blue eyeshadow and a rosy lip. And she wore her dark hair slicked back, fastened with that gold barrette, to add a little extra sparkle.
Yikes! Doja Cat's dramatic dress was certainly a puzzling pick on the American Music Awards' black carpet. The brown Vivienne Westwood frock — which featured an exaggerated sweetheart neckline with purple piping, some truly bizarre ruching and ruffling and a super-high slit — paired two very unexpected colors that just didn't work. To finish this ensemble, the singer added purple strappy heels to match that piping and a very large necklace that we also weren't wild about.
Gorgeous! Cara Delevingne got the metallic memo, opting for this glimmering platinum pantsuit by Dolce&Gabbana. We loved the new take on the trend to go shirtless underneath — with Cara instead opting for a sheer bustier-style top — and the way she complemented the black buttons on the suit jacket by adding black pointy-toe pumps. Next up? A better view of her beauty look!
Cara Delevingne opted for a pretty unique makeup look: She rocked all-over purple eyeshadow and a neon peachy lip hue. Despite not being crazy about the color palette, we did love her glamorous loose waves and the way she added delicate layered necklaces to the outfit.
Ciara truly brought the fashion drama in this phenomenal cherry red and black getup. The star's Balmain gown featured a black collared detail that extended down the full skirt, which also included a dramatic train. And when it came time to style the ensemble, the singer selected over-the-knee shiny boots for a little extra glam plus gold jewelry by Vhernier.
Though we appreciated his bold fashion statement, 24kGoldn scored himself a miss with this mix. His rusty-hued velvet shirt did match those sparkly bellbottom pants and burgundy shoes, but we still weren't fans of this funky getup.
The night's host, Taraji P. Henson, looked regal in the first of her many AMAs looks — a chic sequined getup that she wore on the red carpet. Her long-sleeved Armani Prive minidress featured all-over sparkly sequins and a gorgeous embellished collar and sleeves complete with fringe. When it came time to select shoes, the star went with silver Tom Ford sandals. The look corresponded beautifully to that beaded headpiece, plus she added Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings and a green tourmaline diamond ring. There were a couple other accessories we need to take a closer look at…
Look at that gorgeous pink sapphire Tiffany & Co. ring! Taraji P. Henson also brought along an important 2020 accessory: a face shield.
Another shiny silver dress! Paris Hilton channeled a disco ball in this sparkly number by Valdrin Sahiti that featured a plunging neckline and long sleeves with a sheer detail at the edges. Though we weren't too crazy about the super-short frock, we liked the way she styled it with drop earrings, a massive rock and a sky-high ponytail.
Becky G wowed in Ralph & Russo at the American Music Awards. The singer, who picked up the favorite female Latin artist award, donned a one-shouldered white gown with silver embellishments down the bodice leading to a super-high slit. She then opted for silver jewelry and shoes to match. We'll check out her earrings next…
We loved the way Becky G paired her white and silver Ralph & Russo gown with those stunning big diamond hoops. Her glamorous waves and warm-toned makeup completed her look to perfection.
We're not sure that Lewis Capaldi got the memo that he was at an award show! The Scottish singer-songwriter kept things way too casual at the American Music Awards, opting for black denim, a white T-shirt and black-and-white sneakers.
Even though he opted to go sans tie, Maluma still looked sharp in this navy blue suit and white dress shirt combo. The singer complemented his getup with black boots and a fresh new icy blue hair hue.
We loved the way Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay coordinated for the AMAs. The duo rocked different colored suits — Dan chose dark brown and Shay picked teal — but things stayed unified thanks to the complementary colors in Shay's printed dress shirt that tied in Dan's suit shade. Aside from the subtle matching, we also loved the way Dan added a crisp white turtleneck to his look.
It was a muted turtleneck dress for Kristin Cavallari. Though the frock by The Attico was certainly unique, it wasn't a hit in our book with its fitted silhouette and thigh-high slit, though we did like the way she paired it with gold sandals and stacks of metallic bracelets.
Obsessed! The men of Bell Biv DeVoe – Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe — looked dapper in phenomenal matching suits in bold shades of blue, green and red. They accessorized with bow ties, matching hats and boots and all rocked a singular chain of a different variety.
We loved the hue of Iann Dior's silky pantsuit — a pretty aquamarine shade. He added a mostly unbuttoned white dress shirt underneath, a white belt and a pair of sharp white boots for a unique menswear moment.
This color combo just didn't work. Cassie DiLaura arrived in a bright red off-the-shoulder and one-sleeved asymmetrical top, which she paired with black leather leggings and tan heels for an unfortunate mix that scored her a fashion miss.
Anthony Anderson kept things simple and sleek in all black, adding some funky black-and-white shoes to finish off his American Music Awards ensemble. But he had one accessory on hand to spice things up…
This mask! Anthony Anderson arrived prepared for the pandemic with a mask that featured his own smile.
Obsessed! Newly minted "The Bachelorette" star Tayshia Adams arrived in this divine purple number — a long-sleeved Balmain minidress that featured all-over gold, black and purple sequined embellishments. Equally fabulous? Those black-and-gold strappy sandals!
We have to appreciate someone who stays true to their own personal style. Drummer Travis Barker stuck to his signature rocker look at the American Music Awards, opting for a studded and patched black leather jacket, a white T-shirt and skinny black jeans, but dressed things up ever so slightly with those black boots.
We liked Nelly's unique fashion mix — a black Dolce&Gabbana T-shirt and leather pants and a very interesting accessory choice… scarves. He rocked the printed scarves tucked into his pants for a pop of color and completed his cool look with white sneakers.
We can always count on BTS to rock a corresponding look! The K-Pop singers sported sleek and subtly different white dress shirts and black trousers for their American Music Awards appearance.
Look at this sleek winter look! David Dobrik kept things cute but casual in a black sweater and plaid pants, which he completed with black boots.
Looking sharp, Derek Hough! The star looked dapped in this gray suit with a black turtleneck underneath and black boots.
