American Music Awards' WORST dressed celebrities ever... from sweatshirts to umbrella hats
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, DailyMail.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Meanwhile, 28-year-old Sophia Culpo - who is the sister of model Olivia Culpo - chose an outdated sequin blazer dress that didn't quite work.

Television personality Ajani Scott also stood out on the carpet - but not for the reason she was hoping for
In addition, television personality Ajani Scott stood out on the carpet - but not for the reasons she was hoping for.
The real estate agent wore a short blue dress with a dramatic plunging neckline that left very little to imagination.
In 2022, there were a few stand out looks - including mega pop star Taylor Swift - however, some celebs fell short.
Kim Petras, 32, wore an all-denim outfit that wasn't flattering on the singer.
The studded jean look flared out with a mermaid train, and Kim paired it with a chunky jean belt, a tiny denim purse, and a massive cross necklace.
Singer Pink, 45, also had a fashion fail as she took the red carpet in a colorful, sparkly fridge look.
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.
Billy Porter, 55, flashed a nipple and wore an umbrella hat as he donned a bright blue Tiffany suit with black platform boots in 2021
That same year, MGK made an interesting fashion choice on the AMA carpet.
The singer, 35, wore a purple suit complete with metal needles poking out all over the surface.
In 2021, 28-year-old singer Becky G donned a semi-80s frilled purple mini dress with black trimming and shoulder pads.
The garment featured strips of fabric fastened with dated clips, which showed segments of skin, including cleavage and her midriff.
Notably, Billy Porter, 55, flashed a nipple and wore an umbrella hat as he donned a bright blue Tiffany suit with black platform boots the same year.
In 2017, make-up guru Patrick Simondac, 35, who is known as Patrick Starr, stood out from the crowd for all the wrong reasons in his fringed green jumpsuit.
Singer Bebe Rexha, 35, also left very little to the imagination in her nearly-naked dress, which clung to her body, and looked incredibly risqué.
Bella Thorne made the worst-dressed list in 2016 with her rock star look.

The 2025 American Music Awards will be held at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas.
Only time will tell which stars deliver with their looks, and which totally miss the mark this time around.

Sir Rod Stewart 'devastated' after cancelling more US concerts as he recovers from flu
Sir Rod Stewart says he is devastated to have to cancel a series of US concerts, blaming lingering flu for the decision. It affects four shows in Nevada, along with a further two in California, which he plans to reschedule. They were due to take place over the next eight days. "So sorry my friends. I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon," he wrote in a message on Instagram. Sir Rod, 80, has been struggling to recover from flu and this week had already cancelled two concerts at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. On Wednesday, he disclosed that his doctor had "ordered" him to take "a bit more rest". The star is in the midst of his epic One Last Time Tour. Sir Rod, who was recently put on vocal rest, is due to play the legends slot at Glastonbury later this month. In May, he was presented with a lifetime achievement award at the American Music Awards (AMAs). In a sign of how seriously the singer takes his health, last month he was also spotted in Italy attempting to avoid conversations to preserve his voice. He wore a message attached to a lanyard which read: "Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest." In 2024, he promised he would not retire but confirmed his 2025 European and North American shows would bring an end to his "large-scale world tours". The performer, best known for songs including Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?, Every Beat Of My Heart, and Maggie May, said he plans to focus on more intimate venues instead. Sir Rod has faced other health challenges in the past. In May 2000, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had surgery. In 2017, he underwent successful treatment for prostate cancer.

Kris Jenner, 69, looks younger than ever as she shows off her new face for dinner at Nobu
Kris Jenner looked younger than ever as she stepped out for dinner at the celebrity hotspot Nobu in Malibu on Friday. The momager, 69 - who recently sparked speculation about having gotten another facelift - showed off her latest look while chatting with a close friend outside of the restaurant. Just one day earlier, her daughter Kim Kardashian was also seen stopping by the popular eatery with her eldest daughter North - who debuted a shocking new hair color. Jenner put on a stylish display wearing a pair of black leather pants as well as a black Prada jacket that contained shiny floral embellishments on the material. The reality star also opted for a pair of black shades while her short dark locks were partially pulled back away from her face. A warm blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow while a nude-colored tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. The momager - who recently sparked speculation about having gotten another facelift - showed off her latest look while chatting with a close friend outside of the restaurant Kris was spotted mingling outside of Nobu as she held a conversation with a pal who had joined her to grab a bite to eat. The latest outing comes just weeks after the momager first sparked plastic surgery rumors last month in May when fans had mistaken her for daughter Kim. At the time, hairstylist Chris Appleton - who has worked with the Kardashian/Jenner family for years - uploaded Instagram photos of the reality star from her recent trip in Paris. In one image, Kris flashed a small smile for the camera as she donned a black velvet dress while her locks were swept up into a chic up do. Fans jumped to the comment section of his post to share their thoughts over Jenner's youthful appearance. One penned, 'I thought that was Kim posing as Kris at first… for the first photo,' while another typed, 'Thought that was Kim! She looks INCREDIBLE.' 'She definitely saw Lindsey Lohan's surgeon!! That facelift did her some good justice,' a social media user shared, and one added, 'Their surgeon is pretty good I have to say. She looks bomb.' Lohan has also ignited speculation about her changing face this year - with some suggesting she may have also gotten surgery. However in May, the Freaky Friday actress said her radiant appearance was due to wellness and skincare. The reality star also opted for a pair of black shades while her short dark locks were partially pulled back away from her face The latest outing comes just weeks after the momager first sparked plastic surgery rumors last month in May when fans had mistaken her for daughter Kim Kris later shared pictures of her own from her time in Paris - where she traveled to in order to support her daughter Kim for her jewelry heist trial and Lauren Sánchez's bachelorette bash. In one snap, the media personality looked fashionable in a dark gray top as well as a fitted pencil skirt. She struck a pose for the camera while holding a skateboard in her hand for the lighthearted photo. In additional images, Jenner could be seen posing with other celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Kim. Fans once again gushed over the momager's new transformation, with one penning, 'The best FACELIFT EVER.' 'Kris Jenner: Reborn 2025,' another wrote while one commented, 'Looking more like one of the Kardashian sisters rather than the matriarch! Beautiful!' Jenner's rep also confirmed to that Kris has seen celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine - who is known as the 'facelift maestro.' A source also exclusively told that Jenner has lost weight by stating, 'Kris is no longer a size 10 so she has no need for those clothes, she is a size 6 these days and thrilled about it. It's the same size that she was in the 1980s. 'Her closet is completely different now - the items are so much smaller - and it makes her very happy to get back to the body that she had in her younger years.' Earlier this week, Kim commented on her mother's new look by reposting a snap to her Instagram stories. The image was of her longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton donning a shirt that had 'I'll have what Kris Jenner is having' printed on the front. Along with sharing the picture to her own account, the SKIMS founder added the message, '@chrisappleton1 me too babe.' Back in 2011, Kris notably underwent a facelift which was done by Dr. Garth Fisher - the same doctor who performed Kylie Jenner's breast augmentation in 2019. Jenner has previously gotten other procedures in the past as well, such as Botox and a breast augmentation in the 1980s. In 2018, she had earlobe reduction surgery and a few years later in 2022 the star had a 'very scary' hip replacement procedure. During an episode of The Kardashians at the time, Jenner said of getting the hip replacement: 'It reminds me of somebody older than I feel on the inside and somebody who is going to have challenges for the rest of her life. This is serious.' Following the surgery, she admitted that it had been 'painful' but was still 'feeling pretty good.' Kris added, 'I am determined to live again without this pain. Me and my family have so many exciting things going on that I don't wanna miss a thing.' But when it comes to her recent facelift, one plastic surgeon named Dr. Gary Lawton suggested on Instagram that her new look was due to AI rather than plastic surgery.

Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin wails in court as he comes face to face with wife who tried to kill him
Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin broke down in court as his estranged wife was sentenced for plotting his murder in a chilling murder-for-hire scheme. On Wednesday, a Nevada judge sentenced Victoria Goodwin, 32, to 36 to 90 months in prison after she pleaded guilty to conspiring to have her husband killed while he was on a filming trip in California. Court documents revealed that Victoria contacted Florida inmate Grant Amato - who is serving a life sentence for murdering his parents and brother - and offered him $11,500 to carry out the hit, with a $2,500 down payment already made. But, her devious plan unraveled when prison authorities seized Amato's phone and discovered disturbing communications between him and Victoria. Investigators said she instructed him to make Aaron's death look like an accident and provided detailed information about his travel plans and routines. At her sentencing, Victoria apologized to Aaron, saying she would 'always hold love for him' and promised he would 'never be in danger of her again.' Aaron, 49, wept as he described the betrayal of discovering that the 'love of his life' had not only cheated on him but had tried to have him killed. 'For seven years I thought I was in the most loving relationship of marriage with my best friend, someone who I trusted with my whole heart and laughed with every day,' the paranormal investigator said. Failing to hold back tears, he said after he found out his then-wife was 'cheating on him with several men,' he gave her options for a path forward. One option was divorce and another was 'trying to work things out' because he just 'loves her so much.' Aaron went on to recount how Victoria initially expressed regret and begged not to lose him. 'She didn't want to lose me,' he recalled. 'She was so sorry for the pain she caused me. At least that's what she told me.' He then revealed the extent of her betrayal. 'Now discovering she put a hit out to kill me more than once, got blackmailed, and spent almost our entire savings to keep it quiet.' He also told the court that Victoria had even 'got spiritually married' to the man she enlisted to kill him. In his emotional statement, Aaron said the experience has left him deeply scarred and in constant fear for his life. 'This has led me to fear for my life. I've hired armed security for weeks, not knowing if it was over or not,' he said. 'I cry every day, I feel so low. She grew me into a person I never was. I will always wonder why.' He accused Victoria of attempting to keep him from speaking at the sentencing, claiming he only learned of the murder plot when detectives informed him. 'Now, behind bars, she's trying to manipulate through lawyers and trying to silence me to not come here today,' he said. The murder plot was set to unfold in October 2024 while Aaron was filming Ghost Adventures in California. The show follows Aaron and three other men as they explore reportedly haunted locations and investigate paranormal activity. Prosecutors cited chilling messages recovered from Amato's phone. One message from Amato to a hitman read: 'He's asleep right now in the hotel room… I need to know what's going on. Can I get an update. Was it done?' In another message, Victoria wrote to Amato: 'Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.' When questioned by authorities, Victoria claimed she first learned about Amato through a true crime documentary and began corresponding with him. She described their relationship as 'pen pals' and admitted that she and Aaron had been experiencing marital problems, which led her to 'connect' with Amato. According to divorce documents obtained by Court TV, Aaron and Victoria married in May 2020. Following her arrest, Aaron filed for divorce on March 12, stating: 'The views, tastes, likes, and dislikes of Husband and Wife have become incompatible to the extent that it has become impossible for them to live together as husband and wife in marital harmony. There is no possibility of reconciliation between Husband and Wife.'
