Hilary Duff returns to 2026 AMAs in sultry metallic gown
Hilary Duff made her first AMAs appearance since 2005 and presented New Artist of the Year in a metallic chainmail gown.
- Singer and actress Hilary Duff made a glamorous return to the American Music Awards on Monday in Las Vegas, marking her first appearance at the 52nd annual ceremony in more than two decades, wearing a metallic silver gown with a plunging V-neckline.
- Duff's career momentum built throughout 2026 following her February release of Luck...or Something, her first album in over a decade, and an earlier Las Vegas residency where she performed 'Wake Up' and 'Someone's Watching Over Me.'
- The custom Rabanne chainmail dress featured thick ribbed shoulder straps outlining the plunging neckline and high empire waist, paired with matching silver Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos, tiered diamond-drop earrings, and diamond rings, with hair parted down the middle in subtly wavy strands.
- Duff presented the New Artist of the Year award to Katseye, who beat out nominees Alex Warren, Ella Langley, Leon Thomas, Olivia Dean, and Sombr, while telling Billboard she has 'some surprises' in store for her upcoming performances.
- The 2026 AMAs embraced early-aughts nostalgia with performances from the Black Eyes Peas, New Kids on the Block, and the newly-reunited Pussycat Dolls, while Duff's chainmail choice reflects a broader Y2K trend championed by Paris Hilton and Kate Moss in the 2000s.
