First holiday party of the season! Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and more attended KIIS FM’s 2014 Jingle Ball in L.A. on Friday, Dec. 5. But before Swift opened up the show with her hit “Blank Space,” the stars showed off their finest threads on the Staples Center’s red carpet.
Here, Us Weekly has rounded up some the best looks of the night. See what the performers wore below:
Taylor Swift
The singer’s “style” was on point as she wore a strapless Romona Keveza A-line cocktail dress, which featured a black silk crepe bodice and gold skirt. Before hitting the stage, she made a quick change into a black sparkly skirt and matching crop top. Some of her set included “Blank Space,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” and “Love Story.”
“I have laryngitis and will need your help singing tonight let me hear you scream!” she told the crowd. She also acknowledged her three Grammy nominations before singing her “Shake It Off” hit. “I would like you to know that this had been my favorite year of my entire life and I turn 25 next year and it was a nice early birthday present,” she said.
Ariana Grande
Perfect for the holidays! The pop sensation dressed in a shimmering red skirt and crop top, and was joined by male dancers during her performance. She sang “One Less Problem,” “Love Me Harder,” and “Santa Tell Me.” In a sweet surprise, boyfriend Big Sean joined her during “Best Mistake.”
Jessie J
Stunning in white! The singer wore a revealing little number as she joined Grande at the end of her set to sing their smash “Bang Bang.”
Gwen Stefani
The No Doubt singer rocked out in an edgy all-black ensemble and her trademark red lipstick. She later joined her Voice colleague Pharrell Williams on stage to perform her catchy tune “Spark the Fire.”
Pharrell Williams
The music producer swapped his infamous Vivienne Westwood Grammys hat for a smaller version for the big night. He performed “Drop it Like its Hot” with Snoop Dogg backup tracks and his repeat-worthy hits “Get Lucky” and “Blurred Lines.”
Nick Jonas
Jealous of his skills? The singer was accompanied by an organ player when he sang a gospel version of “Jealous.” He looked smoldering in a black leather jacket (cardigan on red carpet!) and matching pants.
Demi Lovato
Coordinating with Jonas! Lovato joined her longtime friend on stage to sing “Avalanche” together. The former X Factor judge wore a cleavage-baring leather top and jeans, and showed off her half-shaved head.
Meghan Trainor
All about that look! The newcomer wore a long-sleeve top, black skirt, and matching knee-high boots. She belted out her hit “All About That Bass” and was joined by female backup dancers.
Ed Sheeran
Surprise guest! The audience went wild when the British star was introduced. “I didn’t know I was doing this today but this should be fun,” he said, before singing “Thinking Out Loud.”
Iggy Azalea
No J. Lo this time! The Australian rapper looked flawless and slim in a long-sleeve black dress. She brought Rita Ora out on stage to perform their collaboration “Black Widow.”
Sam Smith
The British star (and now Grammy nominee!) looked stylish in a black suit and plaid pants. He performed his songs “Say” and “Latch” to the packed crowd. “The last time I was in this room I was watching the Grammys way in the back,” he said, “and today I found out some phenomenal news. I’ve been nominated for six Grammys!”
Other stars in attendance included Becky G, Kiesza, Charli XCX, Rixton, Shawn Mendes, Nick Cannon, and host Ryan Seacrest. 5 Seconds of Summer closed out the show.
