It's no secret this year was not an ordinary year when it came to award shows — or anything, really. But with things slowly returning to normal, we were lucky enough to enjoy a handful of red carpets. And boy did celebs lean into them with their stand-out fashion choices that screamed: "Finally, it's time to shine!"

And Maren Morris made appearances at both the ACM Awards and the Grammy Awards wearing gowns that made her look like an absolute goddess. Then came the Met Gala with stars like Megan Fox, Kendall Jenner, and Zoe Kravitz stealing the show with their flashy barely-there designs that showed off their incredible figures.
