Silver, silver, and even more silver showed up to the American Music Awards (AMAs) red carpet last night, and we're not the least bit mad about it. From J.Lo's two-piece custom set, to Christian Serratos' sheer diamond-encrusted gown, to Taraji P. Henson's bedazzled turban, there was a lot of sparkle to take in, and all of it was just so good.

Again, like most award shows that have taken place this year, celebrity attendance was minimal, and the audience was nonexistent. But those who did decide to show up in-person turned out lewks better than you could ever imagine. 

Grab your sunglasses because the glitter is intense.

Before taking the stage with Maluma at the AMAs, J.Lo showed up to the red carpet in a custom Balmain two-piece. The shoulder-padded draped couture piece is head-to-toe silver sparkle, and Jenny from the Block may just be bringing back hip-huggers with that side-slit skirt.

Because Henson was playing host last night, she made several outfit changes throughout the evening. But her most memorable one has to be this whacky black-and-white graphic dress that's a perfect mash up of '70s psychedelic print and '90s fit. It's bold, it's beautiful, and it makes our eyes go googly (in a good way).

Being the face of Dior, Delevingne arrived to the AMAs red carpet in a full Dior pantsuit and sheer bustier top. The fabric of the suit looks like silver birchbark and the entire ensemble is tailored to perfection.

Ciara matched the venue in an oversized red tuxedo dress with black velvet lapels. She showed off a stunningly sexy black leather thigh-high boot via a dramatic leg slit in the front of the gown, and let her simple gold chains and hoops do the talking.

Is it a bodysuit? Is it a wrap dress? It's both! Cox stunned in this custom number created for her by Michael Costello. It's sparkly, it's gold, and it fits Laverne Cox like nobody's business.
