On Tuesday night, some of the biggest names in music descended on the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles for the American Music Awards.

At the event, no one could quite outshine Taylor Swift, who not only took home four awards - overtaking Whitney Houston's previous record - but lit up the red carpet in a dazzling disco ball ensemble as well.

The sleek silver mini dress and matching over-the-knee boots by Balmain secured the singer a top spot on this year's best dressed list.

But she was by no means up there alone.

Her futuristic look had steep competition from several other celebs, most notably Cardi B.
