Watch: Jennifer Lopez Suffers Facial Injury During AMAs Rehearsal
These stars are hitting all the right notes.
The 2025 American Music Awards are here, and the celebrities showed up and showed out on the red carpet.
Among the first stars to arrive was Alix Earle, who donned a bodycon black dress which she paired with black, open-toed heels and a stunning diamond necklace. While on the carpet, the influencer gushed over being chosen as a Dancing with the Stars contestant.
“I used to watch it growing up, and I never thought I would be invited to do such an amazing show and be a star on there, it’s crazy,” she told E! News. “It was a no brainer when I got asked, and I’m excited to challenge myself. It’s going to be definitely a different side for me.”
She added, “And it’ll be time for me to slow down a little bit in my routine, hopefully stay in one place as much as possible, stay away from the airport and just challenge myself.” (For more from the AMAs, tune into E! News tomorrow, May 26 at 11 p.m.)
