Bad Bunny leads the nominations this year, with eight nods, including a nomination for Artist of the Year. He could tie Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for the most awards in a single year should he win in all eight categories. Beyoncé, Drake and Taylor Swift each have six; Beyoncé and Swift will face off in three categories: Artist of The Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist and Favorite Pop Album. Adele, Harry Styles and The Weeknd each have five nominations. The hottest artists in the music industry are facing off for the awards, but what we're more concerned about is what they wore to the event Sunday (Nov. 20).
Take a look at those who dressed like winners and those who should've hired (or fired) their stylist:
Worst: Machine Gun Kelly
Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesSOMEONE looks like they just watched the 'Hellraiser' remake...(and is trying for the style but can't quite pull it off).
Worst: Jimmie Allen
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for dcpI don't know who told the country singer that leopard pants, a wide-brimmed hat and marching band jacket would be a good combo.
Worst: Meghan Trainor
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for dcpNever a fan of hot pink except for on children, so the glittering edition is that much more an eyesore.
Worst: Reece Feldman
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpThe actor sure knows how to piece together a bizarre look for red carpet events. This time, it's Victorian meets David Bowie.
Worst: Kodak Black
Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesWe love the color of Kodak's suit, but those black lapels and insane amount of chains make everything look too goofy.
Worst: Charlie Puth
Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesPuth's banana cream suit with a white tank top underneath is giving friendly, neighborhood, mob boss vibes.
Worst: Anitta
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpAnitta's cutouts in her contrast gown don't offer anything refreshing or fashionable, rather than just showing off her assets.
Latto
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpLatto's mesh overlay makes her look like Thanksgiving leftovers: edgy edition.
Lauren Jauregui
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for dcpThe Fifth Harmony singer managed to pull off this printed gown, which is very hard not to compare to a curtain. However, the cut of the dress makes it work!
Gayle
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpThe lace design of this taupe dress is a nice contrast to the more modern golden lining.
JID
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for dcpJust like cats, we are very attracted to hanging strings.
Becky G
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpBecky G looks both sweet and edgy in this bow minidress and opera gloves.
Kali Uchis
Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesWe are loving Kalii Uchis' red feathery headpiece! It beautifully compliments her satin corset gown.
Kim Petras
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpThe 'Unholy' singer was a stunner in this cool, sand-blasted denim ensemble. Can't be "unholy" without a cross necklace, Kim.
Sabrina Carpenter
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpSabrina Carpenter is giving major pop star vibes in this Oscar de la Renta set!
Flo Milli
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpFlo Milli killed it in this dusty rose ensemble! That caged bra is everything, and her hair is too cute.
Best: Dove Cameron
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for dcpThe new artist of the year won another award: best-dressed artist at red carpet events consecutively. She never misses.
Best: Bebe Rexha
Amy Sussman/Getty Images for dcpThe "I'm Good" singer took the AMA style next-level with this sick red ensemble. We love her use of fabric: from the leather thigh highs, to her mesh opera gloves, to the texture of her ruched dress!
Best: Kelly Rowland
Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesWe never thought we'd put a leopard-print dress in our best-dressed rankings, but Kelly Rowland combined both sexiness and elegance with this look!
