Ava Max Buckles Into Extreme Platform Boots & Cut-Out Suit at the Billboard Women in Music Awards
Ava Max revamped suiting with a grunge edge at the 2022 Billboard Women in Music Awards at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Park. The musician posed on the red carpet with numerous female music stars, including Karol G, Christina Aguilera, Banks and more.
The “Kings and Queens” singer arrived to the event in a slick take on suiting, wearing a light pink blazer with sharp lapels sans top. The daring ensemble created a plunging neckline with a topless appearance, further elevated from two side cutouts. Max’s rebellious look was enhanced with matching pleated trousers pushed up to her knees, as well as layered necklaces and Grace Lee chain-link and post earrings. Numerous rings—including a trendy white enamel loop by Bea Bongiasca—completed her ensemble.

When it came to shoes, Max cemented her rock n’ roll vibe with this season’s most daring platform boots: Marc Jacobs’ Kiki boots. The vintage style, hailing from the designer’s Fall 2016 collection, featured 4-inch platform soles, 6.75-inch block heels and numerous thin buckled straps. The pair gave Max a major height boost, with black leather uppers giving her look pure ’90s grunge.
