Glitz. Glamour. Glitter. Three words that best describe the American Music Awards (AMA) 2020. This star-studded event shone in all its glory, and the red carpet sizzled with the hottest looks and coolest trends. A medley of swanky ensembles, impeccable style, and electric performances, this gave all of us our much-needed entertainment fix.
Apart from that, it also gave us a whole lot of tweet-worthy, talk-worthy, and try-worthy looks. While these looks may seem high up on the fashion and beauty scale, they, in fact, are not. All you need are the right products and the right guidance.
Luckily for you, we’ll give you both. We’ve scouted through the guest-list, and we’ve chosen the five best looks of the year for you to try, and flaunt.
