The night was overshadowed by the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant, one of the world’s greatest athletes; a tragedy made only more poignant by the show’s location in the Staples Center. Still, stars did their best to celebrate the music industry’s most talented.

An abundance of fringe brought an often-overlooked style to the forefront. Billy Porter’s Baja East ensemble stole the show. His motorized hat gave the internet a fringe heavy reveal it won’t soon forget. The material proved to be a favorite of rising star Rosalía as well. The Spanish pop star’s fringe-filled looks secured her a spot on the top of every best-dressed list.

Ariana Grande’s Cinderella-inspired ballgown, Lizzo’s retro-glam ensemble, an FKA Twig’s gothic fantasy were also among the night’s most talked-about styles.
