Honoring both television and film, tonight’s show isn’t just the kickoff to awards season. It’s also the first major red carpet fashion event of 2017 (yasssss). Last year, we saw A-listers meet trends head-on in avant-garde numbers. As we wait in anticipation for tonight’s arrivals, we’re taking a look back at the greatest hits of 2016.
