Nandi Mngoma Madida wore one of her very own gorgeous designs to this year's BET Awards. 

Lily Collins wore a vintage-inspired Elie Saab gown to the Critics' Choice Awards and it made us swoon.

Gigi Hadid wore an off-the-shoulder Roberto Cavalli dress to the American Music Awards. It was dreamy boho goodness.

Kirsten Stewart in Chanel at the Cannes photo call. We love how she paired a simple white tee with an exquisite Chanel pencil skirt and Louboutin heels.

Naomi Campbell wore a mint green Brandon Maxwell mini dress to the Video Music Awards. We also loved her ruby red glitter lips.

Okay, another Gigi Hadid moment. I know. But c'mon?! The silk Versace jumpsuit she wore to the British Fashion Awards was everything!

Lupita Nyong'o wore a mint green sparkly dress to this year's Met Ball. Her hairdo was inspired by Nina Simone and Lupita noted that it was a tribute to black women everywhere.

I'm sure most people won't see this canary yellow David LaPort design worn by Solange Knowles to this year's Met Gala as "best dressed", yet it was perhaps one of the most memorable red carpet looks of the year. To me, this is a Solange dress, and only she can pull it off.

Blake Lively wore a figure-hugging Versace gown which showed off her then tiny baby bump on the Cannes red carpet.
