The 2019 Billboard Music Awards kicked off at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 1 with a stream of stars sashaying down the red carpet in a remarkable parade of bizarre ensembles.
Renowned for serving up the most outrageous fashion of awards season, recording industry royalty like Kelly Clarkson and Ciara posed up a storm for the Billboard cameras while a scantily clad Cardi B and her on-again-off-again husband Offset turned up the heat with a very amorous display.
Taylor Swift made a triumphant return to the spotlight in a Shakespearean inspired lavender mini-dress and newlyweds Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas continued their public fairytale romance.

AND THE WORST…
Halsey looks like she’s wearing a sexed up version of her Year 7 art project:
Sabrina actress Kiernan Shipka tried to be sexy and cute all at once but it didn’t quite work:
Ciara is one of the most beautiful women on earth, so it’s hard to understand why she chose this decidedly tasteless dress:
