All The Best Beauty Looks From The 2025 American Music Awards

When is a better time for celebrities to reveal the latest beauty trends, if not a red carpet? Tonight’s 2025 American Music Awards—hosted by Jennifer Lopez—is held at the Fontainebleau in Los Vegas, turning the hotel into a goldmine for our favorite artists’s favorite looks. And, they’re perfect for this season.

With summer just weeks away, a touch-up isn’t necessary with most celebrities purposely toning dark, overgrown roots. Ciara, for example, arrived on the red carpet in faded blonde mid-back tresses, a color pulled into her gold-toned eyeshadow. Sexyy Red and Sandra Denton followed suit with a similar tone, but chopped into asymmetric bobs, one straight and one curled respectively. Lashes were also a big hit with both, with Red opting for luscious stacking lashes.

SZA was honored with Favorite R&B Song for “Saturn,” accepting the award in her classic look (with respect to the trends): her hair, voluminous and red (to match her eyeshadow), not without a blonde streak at the front. Her bright pink lipstick matched JaNa Craig’s manicure, while grooming on Shaboozey and Jon Batiste meant wicks, locs, and line-ups. To close the night, Janet Jackson proved why she was the show’s Icon Award winner (and performer), channelling Poetic Justice with a braided updo pushed back with a white stretchy headband.

From Ciara’s teased roots to Kehlani’s waterwaves, here are our favorite celebrity moments from the red carpet.
