ICYMI: Jennifer Lopez hosted the 51st annual American Music Awards (AMAs) on Monday. While there were plenty of performances and winners, it was J.Lo's outfit changes that caught my attention. The "Let's Get Loud" singer had eight (yes, eight) looks throughout the night, but there was one that truly stole the show. But before I get ahead of myself, let's take a trip through each look.

Her red carpet look was this Defaǐence gown, which draped nicely on the purple carpet. In Lopez fashion, she sported a plunging style, gold heels and a voluminous blowout.

J.Lo kicked off the show in a custom catsuit from Michael Ngo that was covered in gems and black accents. She danced to a mix of the biggest hits of the year, including Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé and more.

In an exclusive interview with InStyle, the host teased she was going to wear eight outfits. "There's a lot of different options. I will change [my mind]. I'll be like, 'No I don't like this hair. Let's just pull it back. Give me a ponytail. Where are my hoops?' Theres so many different ways to go, and I'm just going to pick whatever feels good in the moment," she shared.

The Hustlers star also wore this gold sequins number, which had high slits on both sides. She also opted for a sleek high ponytail to complete the look.

Another sequins fave is this royal blue David Koma strapless gown that had a fun boxy silhouette. She paired it with silver heels, a tennis bracelet and a choker—along with a updo and face-framing pieces.

Keeping up with the sequin trend, the triple-threat wore this black Monot jumpsuit with side cutouts, a diamond-shaped neckline and a deep open back. This time around, she kept her hair straight and glossy to show off her chunky highlights.

Before I show you *the* outfit, this plunging Miss Sohee halter-neck gown comes at a close second. It was embroidered in Swarovski crystals and had a high slit in the front to show off her dancing legs, as well as a gorgeous floral cape.

But it's this outfit that truly defined the night and stole the entire show. A Bronx and Banco original, this sparkling number had dramatic bedazzled cutouts and a sheer fringe skirt made for a professional dancer like her.

The jaw-dropping look complements nicely with the big news she just gave her fans on Instagram. On Monday night, she shared that she will be having her very own Las Vegas residency starting in December.

OK, can we officially crown J.Lo the queen of outfit changes?
