The 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards turned the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas into a runway on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Before Rosalía collected five awards inside — including Album of the Year and Song of the Year — the night’s fashion story was already written on the red carpet, where white was the colour of the evening and bridal silhouettes kept appearing. The Associated Press streamed the arrivals live from 5 p.m. ET, and TelevisaUnivision’s “Noche de Estrellas” pre-show followed from 6 p.m. ET.
White is a difficult colour to wear under camera lights, and that is exactly why it stood out. Rosalía, Karol G, Anitta and Mon Laferte all chose flowing white gowns, each cut in a completely different way, and together they set the tone for the night. For a fuller explanation of how red carpet dressing works — and why one colour can dominate an entire evening — see our guide to red carpet fashion.
Rosalía: theatre in sheer and tulle
Rosalía arrived with seven nominations for LUX and dressed like someone who knew the night would be hers. Her gown, by Matières Fécales, layered sheer fabric over a corseted lining, cut the neckline into shapes that read as wings and finished with a skirt built around a dramatic tulle train. She wore her hair in a romantic updo and kept her makeup bare, letting the construction of the dress do the work. It was the most theatrical look of the night, and it matched the scale of her music: LUX went on to win Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album, and “La Perla” won Song of the Year and Best Pop Song — five awards in total, the most of the night.
Karol G: the bridal turn
Karol G made the night’s biggest departure from her own style. Known for body-con silhouettes and streetwear, she arrived in a bridal tulle gown — a white mermaid silhouette from Celia Kritharioti’s fall/winter 2026-2027 collection, with a fitted bodice, off-the-shoulder long sleeves, structured corset lacing and a voluminous tulle skirt that breaks wide at the knee. Soft waves, a slightly lighter blonde and natural makeup kept the attention on the silhouette. She collected two awards inside, Best Reggaeton Performance for “Verano Rosa” with Feid and Best Urban Music Album for Tropicoqueta, but the dress was the first thing anyone talked about.
Anitta: white with a meaning
Anitta’s white gown carried the night’s most deliberate symbolism. Designed by Victor Borges for Brazilian label Vitureta, it had translucent sleeves, an off-shoulder neckline and folds knotted at one hip. The detail everyone noticed was the headpiece: a single red feather by Paulo Teixeira, a nod to the ekodidé worn in Candomblé initiation rites. It was the one look on the carpet that asked to be read rather than just admired. Anitta won Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album for Equilibrivm during the ceremony.
Mon Laferte: white, with a veil
Mon Laferte also chose white, a flowing gown built from draping, sheer panels and intricate braiding — and she added a pink bridal veil, a signature of her Femme Fatale Tour. Where Karol G’s bridal turn was a one-night departure, Laferte’s veil connected the carpet to the tour she has been performing all year. Her album Femme Fatale was nominated for Album of the Year.
The host: Roselyn Sánchez in silver
Roselyn Sánchez, hosting the Latin Grammys for the 10th time, chose a silver hooded gown with crystal detailing, custom-made by Estef y Beltran Couture. A host’s dress has a different job from a nominee’s: it has to read on camera for three hours, survive quick changes and never compete with the performers. Silver, with a hood, did all three while still photographing as a fashion moment in its own right.
Daddy Yankee: crystals, not a plain tuxedo
The night’s Person of the Year honouree skipped the plain tuxedo. Daddy Yankee wore a black jacket with satin lapels and vertical seams of crystal, over a black shirt worn open at the collar with no tie, finished with diamond chains and rectangular sunglasses. He also won Best Urban Song with Bizarrap during the show, so the crystals were not the only thing he took home.
Camila Cabello: pale pink satin and a feather boa
Camila Cabello, one of the night’s 15 presenters, chose pale pink satin in two pieces by Simone Rocha, with lace at the top and again at the hem. The white feather boa she carried in one hand, left to trail near the floor, gave her the drama of a train without the weight of one. It was the most old-Hollywood look on the carpet, and the boa did the work a long train usually does.
Ana de Armas and Beto Montenegro: the couple’s entrance
Actress Ana de Armas arrived with her boyfriend Beto Montenegro, lead singer of Rawayana, in a light blue Elie Saab gown with minimalistic flowers and an asymmetrical skirt. Montenegro wore a dark grey double-breasted suit. The pairing worked because the two looks were in conversation without matching: her pale blue against his charcoal grey, her asymmetry against his sharp tailoring.
The supporting cast: pink, black and aubergine
The rest of the carpet filled in the night’s palette. Argentine model Valentina Ferrer wore a pale pink plissé gauze gown by María Lucia Hohan, with a deep neckline, an open back and panels of sheer fabric falling from the shoulders to the floor, paired with metallic heels and a diamond ring. Alejandra Espinoza, one of the “Noche de Estrellas” pre-show hosts, chose construction over sparkle: a black high-neck, long-sleeve bodysuit with sheer fabric and raised floral embroidery, a tulle overskirt split at the front, transparent heels and a slicked-back updo.
Most men on the carpet reached for black, but the exceptions were the most interesting. Jorge Drexler, nominated seven times, wore an aubergine coat and pinned a brooch to the lapel. Spanish stylist and television presenter Jomari Goyso arrived in an ivory long coat with wide lapels and an oversized black flower pinned at the chest, over a dark shirt buttoned to the neck and black straight-leg trousers with a fine metallic pinstripe, finished with leather shoes and amber-lens aviators. Mexican singer-songwriter Santi Casas wore pink — a short structured jacket with metal clasp closures, a white shirt open at the collar and wide trousers with a braided strip down the sides. Elena Rose, who has made white a signature of her artistic identity, wore a structured strapless white design, and Kany García chose light tones.
What the night’s fashion said
Three things defined the evening. First, white: not as a single trend but as a shared instinct, worn four different ways by the four biggest female stars of the night. Second, bridal references — Karol G’s mermaid gown, Laferte’s veil — at a ceremony that is itself a kind of wedding between Latin music and its global audience. Third, the men’s carpet split between the expected black and a handful of deliberate exceptions, from Drexler’s aubergine to Goyso’s ivory coat, which is how you can tell a red carpet is confident rather than cautious.
