Must-see looks from the 2026 Juno Awards carpet

The culmination of Canada’s biggest week in music, the 55th annual Juno Awards promised plenty of excitement, including a tribute to Nelly Furtado and performances by Arkells, The Beaches and Daniel Caesar. Even Prime Minister Mark Carney was in the audience at the TD Coliseum in Hamilton.

Just like past Juno Awards, this year saw strong support for Canadian designers and brands on the orange carpet, along with bold, personal sartorial statements from artists like Tia Wood, Kardinal Offishall and SadBoi. Several stars wore winning black-and-white looks, along with a few bold moments in red.  

Here are the must-see ensembles from the 2026 Juno Awards carpet.

Nelly Furtado

Furtado, who was honoured Sunday evening with an induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, wore a strapless brocade gown by Canadian designer ​Lesley​ Hampton, paired with Alexis Bittar jewelry.

Sarah McLachlan

With ’90s minimalism back in a big way, it’s no wonder that McLachlan stepped out in a low-cut, spaghetti strap floral gown on the orange carpet. The musician won a Juno for the adult contemporary album of the year.

SadBoi

Ebhoni Jade Cato-O’Garro, known as SadBoi, won a Juno Saturday night for rap album/EP of the year. On Sunday’s orange carpet, she wore a custom look by Canadian stylist Marc Andrew Smith, paired with Alexis Bittar jewelry.

Kardinal Offishall

The rapper and producer wore an eye-catching cow print jacket on the orange carpet, styled with leather pants, oversized sunglasses and a large pendant necklace.

Tia Wood

Nominated for contemporary Indigenous artist or group of the year, the Cree and Salish singer-songwriter stepped out in a stunning all-red ensemble styled by Jason Pillay. From the back, the sculptural top of her Heather Bouchier gown forms a rosette, like a flower in bloom. The jewelry is by Helen Oro Designs.

Yves Jarvis

Alternative album of the year nominee Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet, known professionally as Yves Jarvis, wore the same mixed-pattern tailored suiting with Gucci hiking shoes at Saturday night’s gala and again on the orange carpet Sunday evening.

Tanika Charles

Charles, nominated this year for traditional R&B/soul recording of the year, stood out in a bold black-and-white leopard-print gown by Toronto label L’uomo Strano by Mic Carter, paired with bright pink earrings.

Raf-Saperra

Adeel Sardar Khan, known as Raf-Saperra, wore a black-and-red look featuring a cropped quilted jacket, voluminous wide-leg trousers and a black fur hat. The rapper and singer is nominated this year for South Asian music recording of the year. 

Sofia Camara

A nominee for breakthrough artist or group of the year category, Camara wore an oversized pinstripe suit by Canadian label RW & Co., styled with a necktie and wallet chain.

Melanie Fiona

Fiona, who won a Juno Saturday for traditional R&B/soul recording of the year, wore a shimmery strapless gown with floor-length sleeves, accessorized with shoulder-grazing earrings and statement rings.

Karena Evans

The director and actor, who won a Juno last night for music video of the year, wore a sculptural canvas work jacket by Source Unknown, paired with leather slingback pumps.

Chyl

Ruochen Shi, known professionally as Chyl, was nominated this year for dance recording of the year. On the orange carpet, she wore a sporty, oversized racing jacket with a leather miniskirt and a short necktie.

Fredz

Nominated this year for francophone album of the year, the singer wore a cropped, embellished leather perfecto jacket, paired with wide-leg pants and a belt with a statement buckle.

The Beaches

The Toronto quartet, nominated for group of the year and fresh off a win for rock album of the year, each leaned into their own distinct style.
