Some of our favorite style moments from 2022 were a result of the daring cutout trend, and Anitta's latest red carpet look is proof that the look is here to stay. On Nov. 20, the "Envolver [1]" singer attended the American Music Awards in a custom Mugler dress fitted with one unique detail: shimmering butt cutouts. Stylist Ron Hartleben [2] paired her look with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including six silver cuff bracelets and a dazzling set of rings. Anitta also tied her hair back in a divisive "wet flip bun [3]," drawing attention to her sparkling chandelier earrings.
Ahead of taking the stage at the award show, the Grammy-nominated singer shared a glimpse of her dress from all angles, catching the lights of the camera flashes on every bead and bit of sequins. The floor-length gown featured a sheer base with thousands of miniature white beads sewn in place to create the illusion of a long-sleeved crop top with a curved hem. At the midriff, the dress dipped, forming an inverted M shape that wrapped around and came to a point at the base of her neck.
Just below the tattoo-baring mesh cutout, the dress transformed into a flowing black skirt composed of intricate beading and sequin detailing. Hand on hip, the star turned for the cameras, revealing two Rorschach-esque butt cutouts that began at her hip and swirled outward, ending just above her thigh. While celebrities like Halle Bailey [4] have made the cutout trend a go-to in our personal wardrobes [5], Anitta's ensemble might be our favorite iteration of the trend yet.
