It's been a busy week of events celebrating Canadian music in Vancouver, culminating in today's 2025 Juno Awards at the Rogers Arena.

Hosted by Michael Bublé, the 54th Annual Juno Awards broadcast includes performances from homegrown talents like Sum 41, bbno$, Elisapie, Maestro Fresh Wes and more.

Anne Murray — the most awarded artist in Junos history — is being honoured with the inaugural Junos lifetime achievement award, while Sum 41 is being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Here's a look at some of the best ensembles on the Juno Awards red carpet — which technically is orange this year. 

Elisapie

The Inuk singer-songwriter, who won a Juno on Saturday night for adult alternative album of the year, wore a phenomenal fringed jacket made by Indigenous multidisciplinary artist Caroline Monnet. Styled by Sabrina Deslauriers, the look was completed with suede-look thigh-high boots and oversized lightning bolt-shaped earrings by Inuk artist Katie Pootoogook — a distinctive and confident ensemble.

Sum 41

The rock band from Ajax, Ont. — set to deliver their last-ever performance as Sum 41 tonight — arrived in co-ordinated, mostly black ensembles featuring motorcycle jackets, lapel pins and black sunglasses.

The Juno nominee — and CBC Radio host — looked beautiful wearing all-Canadian designers. Styled by Toronto's Jo Jin, the look features a strapless pink-and-red gown by Greta Constantine, a small silver clutch, oversized drop earrings by Rita Tesolin and shoes by Ron White.

The singer-songwriter and The Voice coach walked the carpet in a single-breasted dark blue suit and black boots. Sleek and mostly monochromatic, it's a well-tailored look that suits the host of this year's Juno Awards broadcast.

This year's rap single of the year winner rocked a matching plaid shirt, shorts and blazer combo by emerging sustainable African designer AfroRicky. Styled by Steph Major with white socks and block-heel slides by Atana, it's a playful, personality-driven look that just works.   

Benita

There were quite a few standout all-black outfits on this year's Junos orange carpet, including the Nuit Clothing Atelier dress worn by Benita. Paired with ankle-strap heels and sheer, opera-length gloves, the ensemble was sleek and striking. The Toronto fashion label's designs are all handmade in Canada.

Nobro

The Montreal duo behind Nobro, winners of rock album of the year, also opted for (almost) all-black looks that were anything but boring. It's all in the details: shoulder cut-outs and delicate bows on their Banzo blazers, embellished tights and layered jewelry. Stylist Logan Crizer told us that nearly every piece is by an independent designer, with a focus on LGBTQ+, POC and women-led brands. 

Fredz

Rapper Frédéric Carrier, known as Fredz, opted for a stylish Canadian tuxedo for the Junos carpet. Featuring colourful patches and extra-wide ankle cuffs, the dark denim combo is both comfortable and sharp.

King Cruff

A nominee this year, Cruff stood out in a summery grey-and-white ensemble. The matching jacket and trousers are beautifully textured, while a white top and sneakers added a sporty touch.
