Sorry to disappoint the Jelena fans out there, but Selena Gomez hit the red carpet at last night’s 2017 American Music Awards minus her rumored on-again beau Justin Bieber. But she had another surprise in store: she’s now a blonde. With her edgy Coach dress, Selena was in step with the evening’s black outfit trend. Short, sheer, wrapped or glamleisure-inspired, the dark hue was definitely popular. There was also plenty of sparkle with sequins lighting up the red carpet en masse, even in the form of accessories. In case you missed the ceremony, check out all the fashion highlights in the slideshow above.
