Benson Boone turns up the heat at the AMAs with his stunning ‘Mystical Magical’ performance and bold purple look

Benson Boone was red hot at the 2025 American Music Awards.

The pop star, 22, performed his single “Mystical Magical” off of his upcoming album American Heart in yet another bold look on May 26.

Boone wore a purple patterned suit for his performance, consisting of a cropped jacket and flared pants. The jacket was worn over a white top, and the pants were topped with a white belt. The outfit was complete with bright white boots and David Yurman jewelry.

Watch his performance below.

Boone is up for five awards — including New Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Pop Artist, as well as Song of the Year, Favorite Music Video and Favorite Pop Song for his hit “Beautiful Things.”

The star’s AMA nominations are part of his breakout year. After releasing “Beautiful Things” in January 2024, Boone released his debut album Rollerblades & Fireworks that April. The album’s success propelled Boone to new heights, including a Grammy nomination and a slate of high-level performances. He opened for Taylor Swift during the Eras Tour in London last June and performed at Coachella in April.

Boone is one of six performers across a variety of genres to perform at the show. Also gracing the AMAs stage are Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Gloria Estefan, Lainey Wilson and Reneé Rapp.

Boone has quickly made a name for himself with his distinctive personal style. For his performance at the Grammys, where he was nominated for best new artist, Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser ripped off his suit to reveal a sparkly ab-baring jumpsuit. The look was so noteworthy that Mark Zuckerberg borrowed the jumpsuit to surprise his wife, Priscilla Chan, with his own “Beautiful Things” performance at her 40th birthday party.

Zuckerberg also referenced another viral moment in Boone’s performance.

During his medley, Boone pulled on the crotch of his skin-tight costume. He later quipped on Instagram, “Sorry for adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight that thing was aggressively restricting in certain areas.”

Zuckerberg seemed to agree. Alongside a video of him in costume, he joked, “Ok I get it … it’s pretty snug.”

But the awards show isn’t just serving up great looks and performances. Since the show takes place on Memorial Day, the AMAs teamed up with the Easy Day Foundation, a Las Vegas-based nonprofit that helps veterans transition to civilian life, “to present several special in-show moments that celebrate Veterans while raising funds for a variety of national and local organizations,” according to a press release.

This will include two performances and the “presentation of a special award honoring a marquee talent who uses their platform to make meaningful contributions to the veteran community.”
