Some said that it ain't what you win at the Oscar ceremonies and equivalent, but what you wear that makes the statement.

(Think Coco Lee and her striking Chanel gown that created an uproar at the Oscar's red carpet.)

It's no wonder that the stars strutted only their best stuff at the recent Radio Music Award
(RMA) -- MediaCorp's answer to the Grammy Awards.

Check out the glitz and glamour of the night!

Fann Wong

Heartbeats must have come to a halt when the ravishing MediaCorp Princess sashayed her way onstage.

And you now fully understand why Emporio Armani crowned her the first ambassador in Asia.

Gucci guy - Christopher Lee

Presenting… Gucci's latest Autumn/Winter wear!

The MediaCorp A-lister, who was decked from head to toe in the international fashion house's sponsored gear, looked simply smashing!

"The entire outfit cost more than $3,000, I think," Christopher revealed.

"I like this (fashion) coordination pretty much. In fact, I may consider buying the jeans and beret."

Sisters unite!

Much as they've united to make the RMA a roaring success, MediaCorp DJs Petrina Kow, Carrie Chong and Vernetta Lopez went as far as slipping into the frocks from the same designer, Gianni Versace.

Now, that's the family spirit!

Globetrotting shopper - Terence Cao

Ricky Martin adores it. So does the hunky actor. Check out that leathery pair of D2 shoes on his feet!

"I got a friend to buy them from London... Cost about S$900."

As for his flamboyant top, "It's from Roberto Cavali. Bought them from Hongkong at about S$800."

Mafia King - Keagan Kang

It's goody boy-next-door no more.

Keagan told us that he wanted to be a macho man. A mafia gangster, to be precise.

Thanks to stylish Johnny Khoo, we see that his desire has come true.

Now, even babelicious Ase Wang and Vernetta Lopez can't resist falling into his arms.

Sister2sister: You can't bead me!

The Aussie siblings were not nominated for any award, but ooh, who can forget their adrenaline-pumping performance as they jived and jiggled in their tiny sequinned tops?

Equally awe-inspiring was their jeans, which were spiced up with glitzy beads.

And mind you, it's a DIY effort.

"Sharon and I were crazy over beads for a while!" Christine exclaimed.

What better occasion to showcase their handiwork than at the RMA?
