While artists were being awarded for their outstanding achievements in music at last night’s Billboard Music Awards, we were handing out trophies of our own for their standout red carpet style. In the category for “Best Hair”, there were several nominees. The Winner? It was a tough call, but Ella Mai’s sky-scraping top knot towered over the competition.

The British Singer’s hairstyle was as lofty as her music. Celebrity hairstylist, Kahh Spence twisted her hair into a sleek topknot while underscoring her edges for a ’90s appeal. Perhaps we’re little biased, but we love all the beauty looks from the fly girl era.

In addition to clinching the title for the Best Hair, the Boo’d Up singer also won Billboard’s category for “Top R&B” artist, female artist, album, and song.
