Bold beauty looks from the 2018 American Music Awards

We break down the highlights.

Cardi B

Rapper Cardi B stole the show with a very on-trend floral-themed headpiece. Flowers were major hair accessories during the Spring/Summer 2019 fashion shows, with Rodarte and Bora Aksu championing the look. A bold red lip and theatrical winged eyeliner kept Cardi’s approach melodramatic.

Ciara

Singer Ciara also made her hair the focal point of her look, debuting a tumbling mass of beautiful curls that reached her lower back. Caramel highlights softened the look and gelled perfectly with her nude makeup and glossy, neutral lip.
