WORST: 24KGOLDN

While we usually love velvet around the holidays, the rapper's burgundy crushed velvet shirt and sparkly pants combo just was cheesy.

WORST: Taraji P. Henson

She usually nails her looks, but before taking the stage to host the show, the Empire actress had us scratching our heads when she walked the red carpet channeling Eartha Kit in a silver, long-sleeve, high neck embellished shift-dress by Giorgio Armani and an embellished white turban.

WORST: Doja Cat

The "Say So" singer, who was named the winner in the New Artist of the Year category, wore an unflattering crinkly brown taffeta gown with contrasting blue piping, accessorized with wrap around sandals and a distracting necklace.

WORST: BTS

The crazy popular K-pop band majorly disappointed us wearing all the same snooze-worthy white dress shirts and black pants.

WORST: Lewis Capaldi

We get that the Scottish crooner isn't exactly a fashionisto, but we wish he would have tried harder than a sloppy white tee, black denim Levi's jacket and baggy black pants.

WORST: G-Eazy

It' tricky to pull off a brown tux as the rapper proved. The mix match shades of chocolate and wide Bottega Veneta logo cummerbund (sans jacket) just didn't work.

BEST: Kristin Cavallari

The newly single reality star turned jewelry designer donned a mauve-colored high-neck Attico’s Pre-Fall 2020 dress featuring sexy cutouts and high slit, styled with Stuart Weitzman gold "Merinda" sandals.
