For some reason, musicians still measure their success by this archaic thing called the "Billboard" charts and what gets played on the "radio." I don't know about you, but I haven't intentionally listened to the radio in forever as I don't own a car and when I'm in a rental car or something, I'm usually too busy setting it on fire after being passed the aux cord. Seriously, I have to make sure there's a fire extinguisher in every ride I enter. Still, there's an awards show centered around the Billboard charts and, ironically enough, people who actually matter tend to show up. I'll be honest, I didn't watch much of this. Once Game of Thrones popped up on HBO GO, I punched my timecard and busted that shit wide open. But there was some wild gear on the red carpet last night as per usual, so let's look at who showed out and who struck out.

7. ora
Rita Ora
As always, Rita did her best store-brand impression of Rihanna, but this is an interesting lesson that sometimes the generic store version is almost as good as the brand name. I mean, assuming you're broke.

Zendaya
I have not listened to Zendaya's music because I am not a 12-year-old girl, but I do know that she basically got E!'s Fashion Police cancelled, so all praise to the most high *bows*.

Tracee Ellis Ross
Diana Ross's daughter came with it in a leather jumpsuit. If someone on the red carpet had actually read Four Pins once, it's her.
