Next came an award that combined fashion and popularity—the "Best Dressed Award," voted on by a global audience that evening. The nominees were Lee Min-ho, Lee Jong-suk, and Ouyang.

Due to the nature of the award, the acceptance speech was given offstage. Ouyang briefly expressed his gratitude to the brand and styling team for their hard work, and said thank you and love to the audience around the world in different languages.
