Looks That Rocked The 2026 NAMM Show

By Jessica A. Baris | February 6, 2026

Both music and fashion are outlets for self-expression, and The NAMM Show brings together a great number of artists and creatives who reveal who they are through their music and their personal style. In celebration of the people of The NAMM Show — and NAMM's 125 years! — we bring you these fashion standouts for 2026.

This newlywed couple poses outside the Anaheim Convention Center in Samantha Wilson's own Jackalope Land designs.

On the trade show floor, conveniently near the piano brands, an Elton John impersonator was spotted in the iconic sequined Dodgers uniform. We're giving you the front here.

And the back here.

Exhibitor Wen Chen poses near a Fazioli piano, elevating elegance with this resplendent purple dress, polka dot sheer tights and black boots.

Bassist, composer, producer and vocalist Mohini Dey was spotted with her boyfriend, both rocking some serious style.

Producer and musician Tien Hung Nguyen wears a silk Tang suit with intricate embroidery.

This whole outfit is pulled together with a rhinestone fringe belt.

A duo don trendy shades.

A pair of black cowboy hats bring Western intrigue to the show floor.

This striking attendee captures your eye with the bold and colorful sweater design, but don’t miss the Egyptian ankh.

This purple and blue-sequined haori-style jacket and 70s striped pants just work.

Long red locks accentuate this leather corset.

Two friends at the She Rocks Awards bring their red-carpet looks.

And at the TEC Awards, a glamorous silver dress takes the spotlight.

If you were at the Hilton, you may have spotted this dress bearing classical artwork.

Or this one-of-a-kind jacket and green-tipped shoes.

Or this mini dress with killer boots.

These friends were chillin’ and bringin’ their style in black and white.

This chic outfit is topped off with on-point accessories and sleek shoes.

More style was found on Hilton’s second floor. Mercy Rae, indie alternative/electro pop artist, impresses in this hot pink fur coat.

Over by the TEC Tracks photo backdrop, this attendee’s catsuit is accentuated with a fur coat and fringy boots.

Back outside, we found four smiling faces for this shot.

And a hat that stands out in crowd.

We close out our fashion piece with this stylish pair at the NAMMiversary bash with Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns.

Happy 125 years, NAMM, and thanks to all who brought their individual style and energy to the one-and-only NAMM Show.

See you next year in Anaheim!
