The Billboard Music Awards took place in Las Vegas yesterday, and the fashion was fire while the performances were phenomenal. The BBMAs are one of the best award shows of the year, as the show focuses on giving the audience performances from their favorite artists, whether they’re nominated or not. But before music always comes red carpet! Let’s break down our favorite looks from last night's event. 1. Taylor Swift in Valentino
That "surprise guest" the BBMA’s had been teasing us about leading up to Sunday evening? Oh, that would be Taylor Swift, who hasn’t graced us with her presence at an awards show for quite some time. The superstar, who is currently on her Reputation album tour, rocked a magical pale pink Valentino dress that featured a single shoulder train. Below the train was a dramatic feathered shoulder, creating a floral-like cap sleeve. The top of the dress also had stunning floral-like rouging, creating a very old Hollywood glam look. A+ Tay. 2. Dua Lipa in Alexandre Vauthier
Okay, Dua Lipa knows how to make a bold statement -- with a bright purple Alexandre Vauthier dress paired with a gorgeous green and white amulet necklace. The two bold colors don’t typically mix, but the dark green from Dua’s necklace worked with the shimmery, plunging purple number. With slicked back hair and limited makeup, Dua looked like an '80s-inspired pop star. 3. Shawn Mendes in Kooples
Sweet, sweet Shawn Mendes. You are growing up too fast. The 19-year-old looked very adult in a fitted gray Kooples suit with an Armani button-down underneath. Men are so frequently overlooked on the red carpet, but Shawn Mendes looked sharp and caught our eye. Gray suits are the way to go, especially when it heats up outside. 4. Normani Kordei in Lethicia Bronstein
Fresh off the dissolution of Fifth Harmony, Normani showed up on the red carpet making sure her individual presence was known. Wearing a very transparent, all lace black dress with a dramatic train, Normani chose to keep her hair simple with a high half-up/half-down look à la Ariana Grande. Normani not only made best dressed but was one of the best performances of the night. More on that later… 5. John Legend in Gucci
