As stars from around the world descended into the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, the iHeartRadio Music Awards set the stage for breakthrough newcomers, legendary performers, and standout fashion moments.
Shaboozey and his stylist Anastasia Walker continue to prove they’re a match made in fashion heaven, with the artist consistently delivering standout red carpet moments. Leaning seamlessly into his signature Western aesthetic, tonight, he stepped out in a distressed leather jacket layered over a green tweed vest and a tan button-up, paired with raw denim and finished with a light tan cowboy hat.
R&B superstar, and upcoming Essence Festival Performer Kehlani, with Gen Z firmly in her grasp—thanks to hits like “Her Folded”—embraced a romantic, high-glam look. To receive her awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Artist, she wore a red satin corset accented with pink lace trim, paired with a voluminous, Cinderella-style skirt featuring a daring high slit that revealed her intricate tattoos. A black satin peep-toe pump grounded the look, while jewelry remained minimal with a few delicate rings and a dainty diamond choker. Her hair was styled in an effortless loose ponytail, completing the ensemble with understated ease.
