The cutout dress has proven to be one of 2025’s most beloved trends, and we’re here for it. Though cutouts have been everywhere these past few seasons, they’re getting more inventive and unique by the day. Jennifer Lopez gave her stamp of approval on the fad with two of her eight alluring ensembles at this year’s American Music Awards — both of which featured cutouts all over. For one red carpet look, she wore a neutral Defaïence dress with gold hoops, forming cutouts that plunged all the way down to her stomach, while another outfit change ushered in an ab-baring Bronx and Banco dress, adorned with sparkly fringes and an embellished cross.
