How to sum up the best looks from Junos past? Unmistakably iconic. Canadian musicians have always stepped it up when stepping out on the red carpet — and this year’s awards on March 30 in Vancouver will be no exception.

Yes, there’s some double denim and even a hockey jersey in the mix. But style wins aren’t about wrapping yourself in the flag (although, these days, it wouldn’t be out of place). The looks below are about personal style, showing the world your best side, and celebrating.
