1.Chrissy Teigen flashed a lot of leg in a thigh-high slit gown. Her dress was one that few celebs can pull off, but she did it justice. John Legend’s blazer was subtle, yet interesting.

4. A lot of celebs decided to play around with black and white; but, in our eyes, Janelle Monáe took the prize for best dressed. Her coat, shirt dress and heels all put together were everything.

5. Kat Graham teased onlookers in a sheer number with a plunging neckline. She brought the sexy factor to the carpet.

6. Keke Palmer resembled a mixture of Rihanna and a 90s throwback in a slinky metallic two-piece and candy pink fur coat. Nicely done, lady!

7. Nicki Minaj showed us a different and more reserved side to her style when she performed in a simple, black catsuit.

8. Taraji P. Henson served fierce in an oversized shirt dress and peek-a-boo bra action. The lip colour finished off her look with a splash of colour.
