Billboard Awards 2022: Best dressed stars on red carpet

Battle of the busty bombshells! Megan Fox stuns in plunging gown, Doja Cat shocks with nipple pasties and Kylie Jenner puts curves on show in graphic frock at Billboard Awards red carpet

The biggest names in the music industry descended upon Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the artists who dominated the charts over the past year at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs).

 And Megan Fox kicked off the glamorous red carpet in an edgy black and crystal accented David Koma dress that showcased her cleavage while arriving at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Doja Cat hit the carpet in a racy Schiaparelli gown, wearing gold nipple pasties beneath a sheer gold and black gown while Kylie Jenner put her curves on display in a skintight frock featuring a silhouette graphic as the pattern.

Wow: The biggest names in the music industry descended upon Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the artists who dominated the charts over the past year at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs)

Megan, 35, posed up a storm on the red carpet with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly, who sported a spiked suit.

Megan wowed in the cleavage baring frock, which featured a plunging neckline; the gloved sleeves had crystal embellished flowers that glittered on the red carpet.

The edgy frock had a very risque thigh slit, revealing her toned legs; the mom of three, who turns 36 on Monday, rocked bangs with sleek hair and smokey eye makeup to round out her look. 

 Machine Gun Kelly chose a glittering top with a cropped and spike jacket with coordinating trousers; he sported pink dyed tresses for a pop of color.

The Say So singer’s dress featured a gold sheer top portion, revealing her nipple pasties; the rest of the gown was black and opaque. 

Doja Cat wore sun shaped jewelry to perfectly accent the stunning gown with earrings shaped like ears, adding feet shaped gold shoes and a Jupiter shaped clutch.

Kylie stunned the illusion dress that featured a woman’s body emblazoned on it.

The star showcased her 40 pound post partum weight loss in the skintight number; she gave birth to her second child on February 2, 2022.

Kylie posed on the red carpet with Travis for loved up snaps together; there was a surprise appearance from their daughter Stormi, four, who was also on the red carpet walking besides her famous parents. 

Kylie and Travis’ son, three months, was not present on the carpet; his name was previously Wolf but Kylie later revealed they changed it as it didn’t fit him, but has yet to reveal his new name.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is hosting the evening, exactly 25 years since he won his first Billboard Music Award in 1997 for his multi-platinum album No Way Out. 

The evening will honor the year’s top performing artists on the Billboard Charts across all genres of music and showcase spectacular performances and surprise collaborations.

Among the musical acts confirmed is Travis Scott, who will be making his first TV appearance since his deadly Astroworld festival last year that left 10 fans dead. 

Scott will be joined by a host of other performers on the evening, including Megan Thee Stallion, Ed Sheeran, Becky G, Elle King, Florence + The Machine, Maxwell, Morgan Wallen, and Silk Sonic.  

As previously announced, Mary J. Blige will receive the distinguished Billboard Icon Award at the star-studded soiree.

Absolutely stunning: Megan Thee Stallion showed off her flat midriff in a ombre crop top and matching mini skirt

Sizzling: Chloe Bailey chose a cut-out leather dress with statement gold bracelets

Iconic: Chloe Bailey (L), Latto (C) and Mary J. Blidge chose cut-out frocks 

As a part of the recognition, the ten-time BBMA winner will take the stage for a breathtaking performance that will make for one of the most memorable moments of the evening. 

Blige, 51, joins just ten other artists to ever receive the prestigious Billboard Icon Award, which recognizes outstanding artists who have achieved excellence on the Billboard Charts and have made an indelible mark on music itself. 

Since the award’s inauguration in 2011, past recipients include Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Cher, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Garth Brooks, and P!NK. 

‘My career has been such an incredible and unexpected journey that has included many turns into avenues I never could have imagined like acting, producing, launching businesses and now even my own music festival,’ said Blige.

Supermodel moment: Heidi Klum chose a yellow gown with black thigh-high boots; she arrived with husband Tom Kaulitz

Dazzling: Florence Welch paired a sheer purple frock with black lace tights and gloves

A beauty: Former Disney star Dove Cameron wore a racy open torso red dress, showcasing her cleavage and midriff while Becky G showcased her toned legs in a feathered and sparkling purple mini dress, adding silver heels

‘Through it all, I always one way or another gravitated back to my first love, music. To be recognized in this way at this moment, with the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards, is an incredible honor and one that I am truly humbled by.’

This year’s awards are based on the chart period of April 10, 2021 through March 26, 2022.

Billboard Music Awards finalists and winners are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, and touring.

Since 1940, the Billboard Charts have been the go-to guide for ranking the popularity of artists, songs, and albums, and are the ultimate measure of success in music. 

The BBMAs broadcasts live coast-to-coast from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 15 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC and streams live on Peacock. 

Wow factor: Liza Koshy wowed in a crystal embellished crop top and coordinating mini skirt, adding gorgeous heels
