We usually love Emma Roberts’s style on the red carpet because of her sophisticated choices. This time, though, we have to give her outfit at the 2013 American Music Awards two thumbs down.

The 22-year-old actress did not impress the fashion critics with her underwhelming metallic dress from Lanvin. The shiny dress was shapeless and failed to accentuate her figure.

While metallics are trending this season, this dress did Emma no favors. It resembled a glorified trash bag.

Emma styled her AMAs ensemble pretty well. We love her fuchsia pink Rodo clutch and matching Casadei heels. That pop of color is always welcome on the red carpet, but it still didn’t make up for her unappealing sack gown.
