MTV award shows are known for bringing the drama when it comes to red carpet style, and the attendees of this year's Europe Music Awards in Seville, Spain, definitely delivered. There were all-leather looks, must-have designer collaborations, lace catsuits, and swirly, geometric creations that had us asking, "How does that even stay up?" Young stars opted for cool under-the-radar designers, finished off with towering heels and statement jewels. Plus, some attendees used the red carpet to make a statement that went way beyond fashion. Ahead, get a look at some of the standout looks, including Halsey's flirty printed minidress, Dua Lipa's harness and heels, and Joan Smalls's supersexy crop top and silk skirt.

Activist and founder of Zero Hour Jamie Margolin let her makeup do the talking, rather than her outfit, making a statement on behalf of those suffering as a result of the fossil fuel industry, particularly those affected by the Keystone Pipeline leak in North Dakota. She said, "The black tears coming down from my eye are supposed to be crying oil tears, represent the sadness and despair that the fossil fuel industry has caused."
