          The 67th annual Ballon d'Or awards in Paris brought the top soccer stars together from all around the world.

          The list of awards handed out on the night include Club of the Year for men's and women's, the Kopa award for best player under the age of 21, the Yashin award for the best goalkeeper, the Gerd Muller award for top scorer in the previous season and the Socrates award which acknowledges humanitarian work by a player.

          Inter Miami's Lionel Messi won his eighth Ballon d'Or award, extending his lead over Cristiano Ronaldo (5) for the most Ballon d'Or awards ever. Messi led Argentina to its first World Cup last year since 1986, scoring seven goals with three assists in the tournament. Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí won the sixth ever women's Ballon d'Or award, which was created in 2018 and canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic. Bonmati scored 17 times and added 19 assists in all competitions last season plus three goals and two assists in Spain's first ever Women's World Cup this summer.

          Stars mostly arrived in the typical tuxedo look with a bow tie, but that didn't stop other soccer players such as Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. from being creative.

          Here are the best looks from the 2023 Ballon d'Or.
