Everyone who’s anyone in the music industry gathered at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday for the Billboard Music Awards. The show was hosted by Ludacris and Ciara and featured several performances from artists like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Madonna and more.
While some buzzed about the performances and who won what, others couldn’t stop talking about the fashion aspect of the show. Prior to the show celebrities lined the red carpet, showing off their high fashion looks. The BBMAs red carpet saw casual looks, full-on glam and everything in between.
Host Ciara stole the show, donning a series of looks throughout. She arrived at the awards in a revealing and form fitting metallic gown and made several changes between awards. Performer Britney Spears also had fans buzzing about her looks both on and off the stage, flaunting her flawless figure for the cameras. Others, like DJ Khaled and David Guetta left viewers feeling underwhelmed by their style choices.
