The "Espresso" singer also styled her hair with Marilyn Monroe waves.
Karol G was one of the first artists to arrive. The "QLONA" singer wore a fiery yellow and orange gown with a plunging collared neckline.
She was all smiles as she posed for photos on the carpet.
Going into tonight's show, Taylor Swift led the pack with 12 nominations, including the coveted video of the year award for "Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)." She won the award last year for "Anti-Hero."
