Alyssa Bernal shimmers and shines on the red carpet at the 2012 American Music Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday (November 18) in Los Angeles.
The 22-year-old singer wore a stunning Renzo & Kai dress with Chinese Laundry heels. She completed her look with jewels by Blue Candy, London Manori, and Mi Moneda and a clutch by Deepa Gurnani.
Alyssa, who won the Coca-Cola Mix On artist contest, joined Jason Derulo for the red carpet pre-show festivities.

The up-and-coming singer’s story is much like Justin Bieber‘s, only with Pharrell Williams as her admirer instead of Usher. Alyssa shared that Pharrell even tried contacting her high school in Texas to get a hold of her, saying, “They didn’t know who Pharrell was! They just thought it was some shady guy trying to get a hold of me!”
Her EP, out on iTunes and Amazon now, also includes a duet with Lifehouse‘s Jason Wade. He shared of the duet, “I just loved her voice. We sang both of the choruses out there together in the same mic-room, kind of an old-school way of recording.”
Alyssa‘s debut album, In Love Again For the First Time, is due out early 2011.
