Dua Lipa couldn’t be in Los Angeles for the 2020 American Music Awards, but she certainly made waves from across the Atlantic.
The British star was in London during the big event but made sure to be pH๏τographed walking her own personal red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall.
Dua, 25, dazzled in a starfish embellished mini dress from Versace and platform heels.
Styled by Lorenzo Posocco, the playful look was paired with chunky gold jewelry and a matching barrette.
The skimpy frock featured jewel-encrusted shells around the bust and a pink frilly trim on the hem.
The English songstress won the award for Favorite Pop/Rock song for her track Don’t Start Now and made her acceptance speech from London via remote link.
After her win, Dua went on to perform her hit Levitating in a skimpy blue mini dress.
The actual ceremony took place at the Microsoft Theater in LA with Taraji P. Henson hosting and plenty of performances throughout the night.
Despite rising COVID-19 numbers rising across the country, there was a limited audience in attendance at the event as organizers for the award show took several precautions to make it as safe an event as possible.
A Dick Clark Productions spokesperson told Rolling Stone on Saturday: ‘We have rigorous Covid-19 safety guidelines and protocols in place — approved by the unions and with guidance from L.A. County Department of Public Health — that are beyond what is required.’
Anyone who is entering the venue was tested in advanced and will continue to be tested throughout the production until wrap.
Facial coverings were also required for anyone not on stage inside of the venue with the one exception being background dancers who will also be required to wear masks.
The production spokesperson told the music publication: ‘Everyone inside our footprint, with the exception of artists on stage who are singing or speaking, will be wearing facial coverings and maintain social distancing at all times.
‘When artists are not on stage singing, presenting, or accepting an award, they will be wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, we disinfect our set every evening and in between performances during pre-production, rehearsals and in the live show.’
