Bollywood star and global performer Nora Fatehi brought a wave of glitz to the red carpet at the 2025 American Music Awards held at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on May 26. The Canadian-Moroccan artist dazzled in a bold, leopard-print ensemble that showed off her midriff, instantly becoming one of the night’s most talked-about looks.
Social media was quick to explode with reactions following the release of her red carpet photos. While many admired her daring fashion choice, others were left puzzled by her appearance at an event typically dominated by Western music stars. One Reddit user captured her globe-trotting lifestyle perfectly, writing, “One day she’s in Dubai, the next in India, Nepal, New York, London… and now here she is in Vegas!”
Nora’s presence at the AMAs comes fresh off the success of her latest hit single Snake, a high-energy collaboration with pop star Jason Derulo. The track, which dominated the BBC Asian Music Charts and crossed 130 million views online, has cemented her place in the international music scene. She has been on a whirlwind promotional tour, appearing on popular platforms like The Kelly Clarkson Show, MTV UK, and BBC Asian Network.
Despite being widely recognized in India as a dancer and actor, Nora’s musical journey has been quietly gaining international traction. “She’s the voice behind tracks like the FIFA anthem, Dirty Little Secret, and now Snake,” one social media user defended. Another remarked in disbelief, “She’s standing next to JLo now,” referencing Jennifer Lopez, who hosted the AMAs and stunned audiences with a passionate performance featuring her backup dancers.
Beyond music, Nora has been keeping her acting career alive as well. She recently starred as a princess in Netflix’s royal drama The Royals, opposite Ishaan Khatter. Before that, she played a dance teacher in Prime Video’s feel-good film Be Happy, co-starring Abhishek Bachchan. Fans can also expect to see her soon in two South Indian films—Kanchana 4 (Tamil) and KD – The Devil (Kannada).
From the deserts of Dubai to the dazzle of Las Vegas, Nora Fatehi continues to blur boundaries between Bollywood and the global stage—one power move at a time.
