Billboard Music Awards 2022 best and worst dressed: from award-winners Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion, to power couples Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott vs Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly

Doja Cat (far left) deserves an award for her Billboard Music Awards look, but Dove Cameron and Megan Thee Stallion made our worst dressed list. And what about Heidi Klum’s screaming yellow (far right)? Photos: Wires

The 2022 Billboard Music Awards lit up Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday night, May 15, with K-pop heroes BTS cleaning up with three major awards: Top Duo/Group, Top Song Sales Artist and Top Selling Song for the smash global hit Butter.

Welcoming some of music’s hottest (and most stylish) names – including US hip-hop heavyweights Travis Scott and Megan Thee Stallion – the BBMAs saw stars channelling an offbeat vibe on the red carpet, marking a sharp contrast with the classic and elegant looks sported at this year’s Met Gala or the 2022 Oscars runway.

Sexy high-slits, cut-outs, body-wrapping dresses, leather mix-ups … here’s our pick of the awards’ best and worst dressed celebrities.

The best dressed …

Doja Cat

One of our favourite looks of the night was worn by singer Doja Cat, who picked up four awards in a design from Schiaparelli’s spring/summer 2022 haute couture collection. Created by the brand’s creative director Daniel Roseberry, the elegant two-toned design sports a sculptural corset in black moulded velvet on top of a fairy silk tulle bandeau with a train, and a long skirt in flowing black crepe.

Kylie Jenner

Turning out in support of Scott, Kylie Jenner also brought the couple’s four-year-old daughter Stormi onto the Billboard red carpet. The make-up entrepreneur was dressed in a body-wrapping Balmain dress and statement-making bangles.

The Combs sisters

Three’s a charm – as proved by Sean Combs’ brood, with the Combs sisters trio dazzling on the red carpet in contrasting colours and offering a very literal shine.

… and the worst dressed

Dove Cameron

One of the most off-putting looks of the event, Dove Cameron’s sartorial choice for the BBMAs looked supremely tacky to us, leaving an impression for all the wrong reasons.

Teyana Taylor

Every piece of singer Teyana Taylor’s look is a cool, covetable fashion staple that screams hip-hop, including her Balenciaga x Crocs shoes and Givenchy leather pants … but they did not strike a harmonious chord when gathered together.

Megan Thee Stallion

A big congratulations to Megan Thee Stallion for winning Top Rap Female Artist! While we adore the singer’s shoes and the detailing of her dress, the overall outfit resembles a low-cost beach cover-up.

DJ Khaled

DJ Khaled’s lilac ensemble appeared slightly ill-fitting.

Florence Welch

Cute lace gloves, but Florence Welch’s ruffled dress was slightly overwhelming, with too many details layered together.

Kali Uchis

Singer Kali Uchis’ sculptural red corset dress from GCDS is a brilliant design in general, but the knitted fabric felt slightly heavy.
