The awards were held on Sunday inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and were hosted by Doja Cat, with performances from Justin Bieber, Kacey Musgraves, Camila Cabello and more.

But the red carpet beforehand already had plenty of people talking, with some of the celebrities including Megan Fox, Rita Ora, Ashanti and Troye Sivan showing off plenty of skin.
