There was no missing the host of the 2020 American Music Awards on the red carpet. The Oscar nominee stepped out on Sunday, Nov. 22 with her most fashionable foot forward in a beaded shift dress by Giorgio Armani with an elaborate collar and fringe detailing at the neck and wrists. The actress accessorized with a coordinating head wrap, metallic open-toed platforms by Tom Ford and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, kicking off the night on a glamorous '60s note.
