Best Photos of Stars on the Red Carpet

All the glitz and glam took over Miami on Thursday (Feb. 19) during the 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro awards.

A wave of artists, from Thalia to Maluma to Xavi to Tokischa to Ryan Castro, and beyond, strutted the magenta carpet at the Kaseya Center, where they not only talked to the media about their latest projects, but also posed their elegant outfits for the cameras.

This year, Bad Bunny, Carín León, Myke Towers, and Rauw Alejandro lead the nominations with 10 nods each. Other top nominees include Beéle, Fuerza Regida and Karol G with eight noms; Xavi with seven; and with six nominations each are Alejandro Fernández, Elena Rose, J Balvin, Maluma, Morat and Shakira.

Five artists are set to receive special awards, honoring “iconic figures in Latin music whose legacies continue to shape the history and evolution of the genre,” according to the press release: Arcángel will receive the Urban Icon Award; Juanes the Lifetime Achievement Award; Los Bukis will accept the Musical Legacy Award; Manolo Díaz, the Visionary Award; and the Award for Excellence will be handed to Paloma San Basilio.

Meanwhile, acts such as Gloria Trevi, Rawayana, Sech, Maria Becerra, Marc Anthony, and Nathy Peluso, among others, will take center stage for memorable performances. Co-hosted by Thalia, Clarissa Molina, and Nadia Ferreira, this year’s ceremony theme is “Honrando lo que Somos” (Honoring Who We Are), in celebration of culture and roots.

The 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro airs at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 19, on Univision, UNIMÁS and Galavisión and stream on ViX across the U.S. and most Latin American countries.
