But these two ladies aren’t the only ones who did good. Here are 10 red carpet appearances that had us shook:

1. Priyanka Chopra at Oscars and Emmys

Priyanka Chopra was fashion’s big find in 2016. We don’t say so, the entire international media does. She topped almost all lists of best-dressed celebrities at red carpet events, but her dresses at the Oscars and Emmys take the cake. At the Oscars, she wore a white naked dress by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad and a red dream-like gown at the Emmys by Jason Wu.

It doesn’t get more ethereal than this. Homeland star Claire Danes wore the most gorgeous ice blue dress to the MET Gala where the theme this year was Manus X Machina. What’s so special about it? The dress, designed by Zac Posen, glowed in the dark!

3. Kerry Washington at Emmys

Kerry looked like a goddess when she rocked this black dress during her pregnancy at the Emmys.

4. Rachel McAdams at Critics Choice Awards

Depend on Elie Saab to turn you into a princess with just a dress. The rust dress with golden chains for straps looked amazing on Rachel who also won an award that night.

5. Selena Gomez at American Music Awards

Aishwarya wore many dresses at her Cannes trip this year but this one from Elie Saab stood out. It was elegant and stunning, just like the one who wore it.

9. Jennifer Garner at Oscars
