The American Music Awards took place on Tuesday, October 9, and they were on fire. Not only that, but so many of our favorite Latino celebrities walked the red carpet showing off their best looks–and they looked incredible. Camila Cabello, Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B and more stars posed for photos looking as stunning as ever in their outfits and we couldn't look away.
Cardi, J Balvin and Bad Bunny took the stage to perform their hit song "I Like It" and it made us so proud to be Latinos. The performance was Cardi's first time performing on TV since welcoming her daughter, Kulture, in July–and the rappers delivered one unforgettable performance. Prior to that, Cardi was the definition of a fashion icon as she walked down the carpet with her Dolce & Gabanna floral gown and a matching headpiece. The new mom also went home with three awards, including Best Rap/Hip-Hop artist, Best Rap song and Best R&B song.
