As the 2025 American Music Awards approach, anticipation builds not only for the musical performances but also for the fashion statements.
Over the years, the AMAs red carpet has been a stage for dramatic ensembles and risqué outfits that sometimes didn’t quite pay off, leaving us with unforgettable fashion faux pas.
The AMAs have seen its fair share of sartorial nightmares, so ahead of this year’s event, which is set to take place on Monday, May 26, celebrity.land.com has rounded up the worst-dressed celebrities over the years.
In 2024, the awards were extra special as it marked the AMA’s 50th anniversary.
Despite the important celebration, some celebrities still managed to miss the fashion mark.
Singer Raye, 27, who performed at the event, wore an unusually casual outfit for a red carpet – choosing a baggy dark brown sweatshirt and a mint green button-up mini skirt.
Raye completed the dressed-down look with black mules, red lipstick, glasses, and statement earrings.
Meanwhile, 28-year-old Sophia Culpo – who is the sister of model Olivia Culpo – chose an outdated sequin blazer dress that didn’t quite work.

Kim Petras, 32, wore an all-denim outfit that wasn’t flattering on the singer.

The front of the dress – which was gold and black – had a high neck and slit up her thigh.
It also had a thunderbolt-style zig-zag down the front of her body.
