Popsugar Fashion Celebrity Fashion American Music Awards Red Carpet Dresses 2018 Hot Damn — the American Music Awards Is the Fashion Party We Weren't Prepared For 11 October 2018 by Sarah Wasilak Image Source: Getty Well, hello, Tuesday night. We didn't know you'd be so . . . stylish. But with a red carpet fronted by Tracee Ellis Ross, who brought the heat in glamorous dresses last year, too, we should've been prepared for a host of musicians to show up in looks ready to wow. Taylor Swift opened the show, and Ciara performed too, so while we knew we'd see crystallised bodysuits on stage, the outrageous jumpsuits and dresses came first. Read on to see what everyone was wearing as they exited their limos and posed for the cameras. Let's just say last night's entertainment was a little more exciting than resuming your Netflix binge.
