- Warm neutral shades like tan, gold, and champagne dominated the red carpet.
- Celebrities wore daring looks with features like feathers, fringe, and strategic cutouts.
- Corsets, structured shapes, and mini dresses were popular silhouettes at the event.
The 2026 Billboard Women in Music Awards were held on April 29, and the red carpet gave us plenty to talk about. Some of our favorite it girls arrived serving major style—color, texture, and sexy silhouettes.
When it came to trends, a few notes kept showing up. We clocked fringe, warm neutral shades, skin-baring fashion, and bold choices that we loved.
Tyla, Teyana Taylor, Keke Palmer, and Mariah the Scientist gave some of our favorite looks of the night. Each stepped out with details we took note of—and yes, we’re already thinking about how to bring them into our own closets.
Neutrals To Nude Looks: These Women Stunned At The 2026 Billboard Women In Music Awards
Let’s start with color.
Tan. Gold. Champagne. Warm brown. These shades took over the carpet, and on melanin? They looked right. Pulling out every undertone and glow.
Tyla gave us texture and movement in a feathered look that made a statement. Keke stepped out in a rhinestone fringe moment that hit every angle of the light. Teyana brought structure in Ashi Studio couture, pairing a sculpted corset with a flowing skirt. Mariah kept it tight and minimal in a gold mini with matching boots.
Different silhouettes. Same energy.
Tyla, Keke, Mariah, and Teyana also showed skin in different ways. The Billboard Women in Music red carpet was not about playing it safe.
Whether with a nude panel like Keke, strategic cutouts like Tyla, a deep cowl neck like Mariah, or an open corset look like Teyana, these didn’t hold back.
What does this mean for our closets? Wear the corset. Play with sculpted shapes. And lean into statement details like feathers, fringe, rhinestones, and tulle.

Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer hosted the night in a Monse Spring 2026 look. The rhinestone fringe and nude sheer paneling caught the light from every angle. Big Boss Keke is always a moment.
Coco Jones
Coco Jones stepped out in Maria Lucia Hohan while presenting during the night. The hot pink gown featured a soft drape and subtle cutout, bringing color and shape to the carpet. The Barbie-esque monochromatic moment is so playful and feminine. We are obsessed.
Mariah the Scientist
Mariah the Scientist wore LaQuan Smith Spring 2026 while receiving the Billboard Rising Star Award. The deep plunge mini paired with knee-high boots gave a sleek, body-hugging moment.
Victoria Monét
Victoria Monét wore Rhea Costa. The black-and-white look played with contrast, pairing a cropped top with a draped skirt that showed just enough skin. Come on BAWDY!
Tyla
International sensation Tyla gave us one of the boldest looks of the night. The “Water” singer slayed in a barely-there feather dressed that hugged her body and unapologetically gave us skin and curves. Tyla made sure every eye was on her adding gorgeous glam and glitter all over.
Kehlani
Kehlani stepped out in Miss Claire Sullivan. The off-shoulder top and structured corset waist gave a tailored look with a strong silhouette.
Serena Page
Serena Page wore Matières Fécales Spring 2026, giving us modern goth. The sheer black look brought texture and edge, with layered fabric and sculpted tailoring. And the touch of the gloves and black jewelry was perfection.
