The silver pointy trophies are being handed out to Australian artists who produced the best music in the past 12 months.

But before the ARIA Awards kicked off at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion, the celebrities had to walk the red carpet.

Here's a wrap of some of the themes we saw. 

Statement sleeves

Natalie Imbruglia wearing a short, black suit-like dress with big sleeves
It looks like someone was going to make a pair of trousers to go with this suit jacket, but Natalie Imbruglia said "nah, use that fabric for some big sleeves instead!". She made the right call.

Futuristic glam
