Mi Gente stand up!
J Balvin had not just one but two killer performances this year. The Colombian singer educated festival-goers on the history of reggaeton on the Coachella stage in Indio, California and then made history with his performance at the iconic Lollapalooza. Each performance showed off the Vibras star’s unique style and talent.

Versace, Versace, Versace
It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Jennifer Lopez walked the Grammys red carpet in the plunging patterned Versace dress. To commemorate one of the most-talked about fashion moments of forever, JLo surprised guests at the Versace fashion show in Milan by walking the runway in a reimagined style of the dress.

Music is Power
Puerto Rican icons Ricky Martin, Bad Bunny, Residente and iLe released Afilando los Cuchillos, an anthem to protest the then governor Ricardo Roselló. With the widespread support from residents and other celebs that also used their platform for change, #RickyRenuncia went viral, and he was ousted.

La Jefa
Gina Torres said goodbye to her Suits family to continue as bosslady Jessica Pearson on USA Network’s Pearson. The Cuban-American also made history with this role as the first Afro-Latina female to be a lead in a series.

Mr. Brightside
Project Runway made its return to Bravo with a new wave of talent both in the judges and hot seats. Show veteran Nina Garcia, former winner Christian Siriano and newcomer Elaine Welteroth cut through the competition and crowned Colombian designer Sebastian Grey as the winner.

His Señorita
After what seems like years of on and off speculation, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes took their friendship to the next level. With the release of their song Señorita, the two Latinx crooners have been heating up the scene on and off the stage. Fans have nicknamed them Shawmila.
