On Thursday, March 26, some of the biggest names in music got together to celebrate at the 2026 iHeartMusic Awards in Los Angeles.

Among the multitude of heavy-hitters in attendance was Taylor Swift, making her first award show appearance of the year, as well as her first-ever award show appearance alongside fiancé Travis Kelce. It was also a notable night for the singer-songwriter awards-wise, as she brought home an impressive seven trophies, extending her record as the most-winning artist at the ceremony.

Still, while we always love to watch an award show, our favorite part tends to happen beforehand on the red carpet—we are fashion lovers after all! And last night was a fun and funky one, with a variety of looks to choose from. With this in mind, we’ve selected just five of our personal favorites.

Swift reminded fans she’s still in her Showgirl era with this gorgeous pastel green two-piece set by Wiederhorft. The recording artist wore “the new Venus corset in bonded celadon velvet hand-embroidered with glass beads, and a custom velvet miniskirt.” The dreamy look was then accessorized with a coordinating pair of strappy Jimmy Choo sandals and shiny silver jewelry.

If there were gold medals for signature style, Liu would have secured podium placement once again last night as the Olympian rocked a beautiful black gown by Louis Vuitton. From the unique cut on the neckline to the daring slit, the ensemble was one-of-a-kind, just like the star wearing it. She accessorized with classic black pumps and a shimmering black handbag.

Honestly? We’ll applaud any look that brings elbow-length gloves back to the red carpet. Scherzinger sported this all-leather number for the show, complete with the aforementioned gloves and plenty of drama courtesy of the plunging sweetheart neckline. She left her long, dark hair down, letting it cascade over her bare shoulders, with dangly silver earrings peeking through her tresses.

Kehlani

In the same way we love an elbow-length glove moment, we also enjoy a red carpet risk, which Kehlani’s two-toned gown absolutely took. The asymmetrical, silky red bodice was lined with a bright pink lace, while the voluminous skirt opened up to reveal her Y2K-style platform heels. With her tattoos on full display, the overall vibe was rock n’ roll cool.

Speaking of “Y2K-style,” something about Tinashe’s bodysuit-and-skirt combo definitely took us back to the early 2000s. Perhaps it was the low-rise, midi length of the colorful, patterned bottoms, or the square-cut neckline on the short-sleeved black bodysuit, but either way, it was a fun, casual twist for a red carpet night out.
