From sleek gowns to futuristic jumpsuits, our favorite stars made sure the cameras stayed glued to them. Media Take Out has the full roundup of the best dressed women (and a few men) of the night.
Justine Skye Shines In A Silver Sleek Gown
Justine Skye came to remind us all why she’s called the “Purple Unicorn.” The singer looked absolutely stunning in a silver sleek gown that hugged her curves in all the right places.

Ice Spice Pops In Pink Hair & Color-Blocked Fantasy
Ice Spice never misses an opportunity to grab attention, and last night was no different. The Bronx princess debuted pink hair that perfectly complemented her quirky, colorful ensemble: a yellow bustier paired with a gorgeous flowing blue skirt. It was bold, unexpected, and totally Ice Spice — equal parts princess, rebel, and trendsetter.
Ayra Starr Goes Futuristic In Black Jumper

GUNNA & Briana Monique … A Red Carpet Contrast
Rapper Gunna brought his gorgeous girlfriend Briana Monique to the awards, and while he made headlines for his oversized, ill-fitting suit, Briana carried the couple with grace. She stunned in a beautiful brown dress that highlighted her shape and kept the focus on her natural beauty. Together they made a statement, even if fashion critics were a little harsher on him than on her.
Tyla Keeps It Short & Sweet In Cream Minidress

Ciara Brings Old Hollywood In Red
Ciara reminded everyone she’s still one of the most stunning women in the industry. The singer turned heads in an elegant red gown that draped beautifully over her frame. The look was pure Old Hollywood glamour — simple yet commanding, with just the right balance of sophistication and sex appeal.
