Variety's annual Hitmakers Brunch is back to honour the stars who made their mark on the music scene in 2024.
This year the event was held at NYA WEST on December 7 in Los Angeles.
From Grammy winner Olivia Rodrigo to pop sensation Charli XCX, it was a star-studded occasion that brought together musicians from all different genres.
Along with celebrating music's best, it was a fabulous day for fashion with lots of stylish and daring looks on the red – or in this case, green – carpet.

A moment for the sleeves!
Wilson recently spoke to 9honey Celebrity about her latest record Whirlwind.
"It's called Whirlwind because that's what my life has been like the last couple of years," she says.
"Truly, I do think it's the best stuff we've ever done. I'm my own worst critic, but my band got to play on this record and I feel like this record is showing a side of me, that honestly I didn't know existed and during a time of my life that's constantly changing."
Charli XCX
Charli XCX is so Julia!
The pop sensation behind one of the year's biggest albums, Brat, and the recipient of the coveted Hitmaker of the Year Award went all out in a sheer dress.
The singer wore a daring Saint Laurent halter-neck gown, ditching her bra beneath for an exposed moment on the red carpet.

When she turned around, the pop star showed off the backless design of the dress. So brat!
Olivia Rodrigo
Wearing a little black dress, it's a good idea, right?
We're obsessed with Olivia Rodrigo's classic take on red carpet dressing.
The pop star's dress is courtesy of Thierry Mugler's 1998 runway collection.
While walking the green carpet, Rodrigo had a wholesome encounter with another popular singer. Any guesses who?
Olivia Rodrigo and Laufey
It's Icelandic-Chinese singer Laufey!
The singers stopped on the green carpet to share a hug ahead of the event.
Laufey attended Rodrigo's concert film premiere for Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour just a few weeks ago on October 25.
The From the Start singer recently opened up about her friendship and how she connected with Rodrigo in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times.
"We're both half-Asian, half-white – we've always had this kind of mixed identity," she said.
"And anything that I've gone through this year, she's gone through on a very exaggerated level. It's been really lovely to be able to check in and hang out and not feel crazy."

For her look, Laufey wore a pair of micro shorts and a matching red top from Bode.
Lana Del Rey
Summertime Sadness singer Lana Del Rey put an elegant twist on casual dressing.
The singer opted to go comfy for the occasion in a knit jumper and pants.
Rey had her hair styled out in a curls and wore some glitzy jewellery to elevate the glamour of the look.
Lana Del Rey and Jack Antonoff
Del Rey posed with her friend and music producer Jack Antonoff, who you might also recognise for working closely with pop megastar Taylor Swift over the years.
Later in the night, Rey presented Antonoff with the Producer of the Decade honour.
