Social Media Sensation, 24, Stuns in Simple 2025 AMAs Look That Left Fans Speechless
Just days after she was announced as the second celebrity cast member on Dancing With the Stars season 34 — following "Australian wildlife photographer, actor, zookeeper, television presenter, and conservationist" Robert Irwin — social media sensation Alix Earle took a break from all of the excitement to stop and slay at the 51st Annual American Music Awards. The 2025 American Music Awards took place today (May 26) at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hosted by Jennifer Lopez for the second time — as she also hosted the 2015 ceremony — so many of our favorite celebrities were in attendance. Representing the social media world were individuals like Tara Yummy, Ben Almeida, James Charles and more, but arguably the best dressed was Earle, keeping things as classy as can be. On the 2025 AMAs red carpet — or should we say purple carpet? — Earle wore a slim black gown that flattered her figure from top to bottom, spicing up a seemingly simple dress with a deep scoop neck, as well as a strappy back. Keeping her attire as the star of the show, she paired the dress with a dazzling diamond necklace, and matching earrings, as well as black heels with diamond detailing to match. Completing the look, Earle opted for white almond-shaped nails, natural (yet glam) makeup and loose curls in her beautiful blonde hair. Needless to say, she stole the show, with individuals taking to X to share their thoughts on the look. "Iconic," one fan wrote — complete with several spicy emojis — while another fan added, "Alix looks beautiful." A third gushed, "Alix Earle looks beautiful! I'm happy she's at the AMAs!" Rocking her same red carpet look, later on in the evening, Earle joined YouTuber and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat onstage to announce the award for Favorite Female R&B Artist. The award went to "Snooze" singer SZA, beating out Kehlani, Muni Long, Summer Walker and Tyla. If you missed the 2025 AMAs, have no fear! Paramount Plus subscribers in the United States can stream the coveted award show tomorrow (May 27) via the platform.

Gaming group seeks to help military members as Memorial Day approaches
A thriving gaming group created by veterans aims to support active military members transition back to civilian life. The group is called Regiment Gaming, and its CEO, Chris Earle, is a Marine Corps veteran. He created Regiment Gaming five years ago to form a community to help active and retired military members struggle with difficulties and readjust to everyday life. Earle's goal is to remind veterans that they are never alone and there is a community for them to be a part of. 'They don't know how to seek help, right? They feel ashamed to reach out for help, you know, they feel like if they admit that they need help, it makes them weak. That's not the case,' Earle said. [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] Nationally, Regiment Gaming has had a big impact by building gaming rooms across VFWs and American Legion halls across the country. With Memorial Day coming up Monday, active and veteran military members are invited to join online. For more information, click on this link.
