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

The 22-year-old actress disappointed with her less than impressive metallic dress from Lanvin. The shiny frock was shapeless and did nothing but conceal her figure.

Metallics are actually hot this season, but this particular frock is just not very flattering on Emma. It actually looks like a glorified trash bag, don’t you think?

To be fair, Emma styled her AMAs ensemble pretty well. We absolutely 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.

If you think you can do a better job pulling off this kind of dress, here are some great alternatives:
