The 2016 Billboard Music Awards may not be the Grammys, but you might be surprised to learn that the show pulls nearly as many big-name music stars — and plenty of designer fashion along with them.
That means celebs in the kind of "naked dresses" we've grown used to, up-and-coming stars pushing the fashion envelope, and even some news-making outfits. (Remember Kendall and Kylie unveiled the Balmain x H&M collaboration on the Billboard Awards red carpet in 2015?)
This Sunday night, the show is stacked with the kind of names who rarely miss a red carpet opportunity. That includes Madonna, Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani, and even the legend, the one and only Britney Spears.
So yeah, this is a red carpet — er, pink carpet — worth tuning in for. Which is why we're documenting every. single. look. right here, in the gallery above.
