The 2025 American Music Awards took place on Monday, May 26, at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and it was a night to remember. Hosted by Jennifer Lopez, the show featured a mix of fan-voted awards, iconic performances, and moments that got social media buzzing. Here are the best, worst, and most "oops" moments of the show.
Most, All-Around: Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is known for her high-energy performances, and she did not disappoint at the AMAs. She opened the show with a six-minute dance medley of 23 songs, including "Tipsy (a Bar Song)" and "Beautiful Things". She then walked out, still out of breath, to begin her monologue in a plunging silver Miss Sohee gown with teal opera coat. Read more about Jennifer Lopez's outfit changes.
Most Creative Partial Nudity: SZA
SZA's dress was a hit at the AMAs. The dress framed her sparkly pasties and put her butt on a shelf. Although it was a bit hard for her to get to the mic to accept her award for Favorite Female R&B Artist, she laughed it off as she hopped up the stairs.
Best (Yet Most Tragic) Throwback: Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum Denied the Chance to Rip Off Benson Boone's Suit
Benson Boone's bold, sparkly purple suit was destined to be worn for the whole performance of "Mystical Magical", much to the disappointment of a highly-prepared Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum, who had previously torn off his tux to reveal a jumpsuit at the Grammys.
