The Billboard Music Awards is yet another award show to be carried out virtually in 2020. But just because the performers and presenters were social distancing or popping up on screens from all over the world didn't mean there was no room for style. Kelly Clarkson, who hosted the event, walked the red carpet laid out backstage in a glittering fringed dress, then changed into multiple outfits throughout the course of the night. Other stars, like Alicia Keys and Taraji P. Henson, struck a pose for Instagram with the help of their stylists before taking to the stage. As Hollywood proved at the Emmys, getting glam from the comfort of your own home often means multiple outfit changes, because why not pull out all the stops? Scroll through to see every appearance we spotted on stage or behind the scenes.
