Bad Bunny leads the nominations this year, with eight nods, including a nomination for Artist of the Year. He could tie Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for the most awards in a single year should he win in all eight categories. Beyoncé, Drake and Taylor Swift each have six; Beyoncé and Swift will face off in three categories: Artist of The Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist and Favorite Pop Album. Adele, Harry Styles and The Weeknd each have five nominations. The hottest artists in the music industry are facing off for the awards, but what we're more concerned about is what they wore to the event Sunday (Nov. 20).
Take a look at those who dressed like winners and those who should've hired (or fired) their stylist:
