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.
