From K-pop idols to internet darlings, the stars were out in full force last night at Y100.7’s Jingle Ball, held at downtown’s Kaseya Center. Before the genre-blurring lineup took the stage, artists, media personalities, and — you know it — influencers made their way down the red carpet, flashing smiles, striking poses, and channeling holiday glam for one of Miami’s most anticipated holiday concerts.

The night’s headliners brought the star power early. Global K-pop sensations Monsta X arrived in sleek all-black ensembles, greeting fans with waves and heart signs. Dancehall pioneer Sean Paul exuded cool confidence, while hip-hop icon Nelly served throwback flair, setting the tone for a night stacked with both nostalgia and fresh energy.

Oakland-born singer Kehlani wore her signature edgy look, previewing the confident performance to come. Rapper BigXthaPlug, Swedish pop provocateur Zara Larsson, and genre-hopping newcomer Emma McCarthy also stopped for photos, building momentum for their stage moments.

The red carpet wasn’t just for the performers — celebrity sightings included Miss Universe Cuba 2025 Lina Luaces Estefan, singer-songwriter Daniel Arison, and actress Daniela Dib. Internet personalities Jenna Sinatra, Barbara Camila, Erin Confortini, and Roxanne Jankowski brought the social media crowd, while radio legends Elvis Duran and Skeery Jones held it down for iHeartRadio.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

Even off-stage, the night was pure Miami: glamorous, diverse, and buzzing with cultural crossover. Music group Undercover made an entrance, and dancer-influencer Jozie Schroder brought cheer squad sparkle to the scene. Local fixtures Lee Schrager and Andres Restrepo were spotted mingling with talent, proving once again that the Jingle Ball red carpet is as much about community as it is about celebrity.
