After making it through last night’s blitz of costume changes courtesy of Jennifer Lopez, combined with the non-stop parade of red carpet fashions, you probably think you’ve seen just about everything there is to see when it comes to celebrity style at this year’s AMAs. But while your favorite stars may have taken some serious sartorial risks during the awards ceremony, it’s the afterparty looks where they really dared to bare all, giving the world some sexy going-out ensembles it won’t soon forget.

Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid hit up Justin Bieber’s after party at The Nice Guy, shedding even more clothing than they were wearing before and going for maximum sexiness. The faux-bobbed Gigi wore a sexy, yet minimalist, skin-tight black ensemble from House of CB consisting of a bandage pencil skirt and bandeau, and finished off with slicked-back hair, a thick black ribbon choker, and lace-up pumps. Kylie kept things equally simple and monochromatic, also in a bandage dress from House of CB with a plunging neckline and a hemline that looked as though it was hoping to meet in the middle.

As wise philosopher R. Kelly once sang, “After the show, it’s the after party,” and you better believe J.Lo would never miss a chance to switch up her outfit one more time. The 42-year-old (below) put every twenty-something PYT in the building to shame, toasting to her hosting success in an elaborately beaded bra and high-waisted black velvet skirt paired with a rhinestone-embellished short cape from Zuhair Murad’s fall Couture collection that could be put on or removed throughout the evening for dramatic effect.

Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev (above left) were also standouts in the outfit change universe, with both BFFs channeling a vixen vibe. Dobrev kept her Rene Caovilla red carpet shoes, but swapped out her gown for a more fitted, crimson cocktail dress with lace paneling that accentuated her curves. Hough also raised her hemline, opting for a Balmain minidress that featured sheer polka-dot cutouts to counteract the prim mock-turtleneck. And counteracting the trend of going even sexier (there’s always one!) Hailee Steinfeld (above right) ditched her sequined romper for a much more demure ruffled dress.
