Jennifer Lopez Goes Very Jennifer Lopez in Hot Pink Cutout Dress at the 2018 American Music Awards

There’s never a red carpet that Jennifer Lopez doesn’t slay, and the 2018 American Music Awards were no exception.

The pop icon and actress, 49, hit the red carpet in L.A. wearing an electric pink Georges Chakra Couture halter gown with side cut-outs, a thigh-high slit and black velvet detailing, plus matching velvet platform heels, a tousled updo and smokey makeup.

Just last week, Lopez was announced as the latest superstar to join the large roster of performers at Tuesday’s award show, executive produced and hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross for the second consecutive year.
