The multi-award-winning singer has had a lot of great looks this year, but I was particularly stunned when she walked at the American Music Awards.

She graced the carpet with a floor-length, animal-print Nicolas Jebran dress paired with long black gloves that gave it a daring edge.

Lupita Nyong'o stole the red carpet at the Oscars.

The sparkling look was the perfect texture of sequins dazzled in over 15 carats of De Beers diamonds.

Nyong'o always stuns on the red carpet, but this particular look was exceptional.

The singer took the stage at the American Music Awards and won multiple accolades, but I couldn't take my eyes off her glittering, gold jumpsuit by the Blonds.

The beaded, backless number had a plunging neckline and belt that cinched at the waist. She finished the look with an open-toed heel and sword-shaped earrings.

There's something to say about what a jumpsuit can do on the red carpet.

Zendaya never misses a red-carpet look.

I think one of her top outfits of the year was her Oscars ensemble, which included a long sequin skirt and a white crop top.

The custom Valentino look designed by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli was daring and added a youthfulness to the traditional event.
