See the best and worst looks of the night below:
26. Chloe Fineman
Dia Dipasupil/Getty ImagesThe 'SNL' actress seemed to take inspiration from space with this look, but it looks more like a comforter cut out haphazardly.
25. Samy Hawk

24. Luna Clipse

23. Khalid
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for MTV/Paramount GlobalKhalid's purple pants and shoes are so cool-looking, but they totally clash with the busy pattern of his shirt.
22. Justina Valentine
