Below, take a look back at some of the best looks to ever grace the step-and-repeat on music’s biggest night.
The Puerto Rican chart-topper took home Album of the Year for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” wearing Schiaparelli’s first couture menswear look: a black velvet corseted tuxedo that cinched his waist and laced up the back.
In her glittering prime, indeed! Swift looked ravishing in red Vivienne Westwood and over 60 carats of Lorraine Schwartz rubies — including a custom thigh chain she co-designed with the jeweler. “T” for Taylor … or for Travis? Either way, it’s a win.
The petite pop princess left quite an impression in her Cinderella-coded JW Anderson halter gown trimmed with feathers — and secured in place with a show-stopping 50-carat diamond necklace from Chopard.
She was good, she was gold: Cyrus’ metallic Maison Margiela mini was crafted from 14,000 safety pins and perfectly reflected her love of rock ‘n’ roll fashion (especially paired with that teased-to-the-heavens hair).

The star showed off her goodies in this leggy, low-cut Alexandre Vauthier Couture gown, pulling off the look better than anyone else possibly could.
