The 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards took place from all over the world, with Little Mix hosting the event from the United Kingdom, Alicia Keys and Maluma performing from Los Angeles and Miami respectively, and David Guetta streaming his blowout set from the Széchenyi Bath in Budapest, Hungary (casual). And while the event came to us virtually, it didn't stop the stars from taking the chance to get dressed up for the occasion.
Our favorite stars lit up the virtual red carpet in diamanté, embellished, and studded outfits — like Doja Cat's sheer black maxi dress covered in crystal embellishments, Alicia Keys's diamanté-detail crop top, Maluma's silver-studded vest, and Madison Beer and Anne-Marie's satin dresses with sparkling details. When it comes to dress trends, satin and ruffles were a popular choice, while Rita Ora and Little Mix's Perrie Edwards wore standout tulle gowns, which were two of the most memorable outfits of the night.
