While the Billboard Music Awards [1] may not elicit the same who-wore-what fervor as its award show siblings (namely, the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes), that doesn't mean its red carpet [2] is any less exciting. Far from it. When the music and Hollywood set converge, you can expect a dress code that is marked by sexy, skin-baring silhouettes [3], vibrant colours and prints, and eye-catching jewels. And with more than two decades worth of BMAs red-carpet looks, we've taken stock of the most glamorous and noteworthy ones to date. From the '90s to now, we've got repeat chart toppers (hello, Rihanna [4], Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift [5]!) showing off their styling chops year after year, fun fashion flashbacks, and some best-dressed contenders you may not expect. Keep clicking for our top 25 looks to ever grace the BMAs red carpet.

Beyoncé at the 2003 Billboard Music Awards

The singer was a vision in gold — pairing an intricately beaded-and-fringed Roberto Cavalli minidress with strappy floral-embellished heels and diamond-encrusted earrings.

Taylor Swift at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards

Taylor surprised us in this striking red Elie Saab number. It wasn't just the sultry colour that caught our eye, but also the lace-inset bodice that kicked up the singer's edge factor.

Miley Cyrus at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards

Miley rocked a crisp white Jean Paul Gaultier blazer-turned-minidress with striped ankle-strap Christian Louboutin heels.

Carrie Underwood at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards

The country singer conjured serious princess vibes in this frothy pastel-hued Oscar de la Renta gown and embellished pink clutch.

Alicia Keys at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards

Alicia struck an understated — albeit very sexy — note in a long-sleeve, form-fitting Azzedine Alaia Couture gown and Repossi rose-gold hoop earrings.

Selena Gomez at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

The singer chose a white Atelier Versace gown that was no ordinary white gown. Instead, it offered up a bit of quirk (and flash of leg) thanks to its zipper detailing, neon tubing, and sheer cutout right down the front of the bodice.

Jennifer Lopez at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

J Lo knows how to dress for a red carpet and this gold Zuhair Murad gown serves as further proof. The body-skimming silhouette, skin-baring details, and flash appeal provided equal parts sexiness and glamour.

Rita Ora at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards

The singer channelled her inner Greek goddess in this white Fausto Puglisi number, which didn't skimp on eye-catching details: a thigh-high slit, midriff cutout, and oversize gold sun pendants accented throughout.

Taylor Swift at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards

This was a serious departure from Taylor's usual red-carpet fare — and we were big fans of this white cutout jumpsuit from Balmain.

Chrissy Teigen at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards

As co-host of the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, Chrissy was no stranger to outfit changes that night. But her first look of the evening — a '70s-inspired Balmain jumpsuit, complete with daring V-front, wide belt, and eye-catching stripes — was our favourite.

Zendaya at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Leave it to Zendaya [6] to rock a two-piece, peach-toned Calvin Klein set on the red carpet. The matching triangle bra and floor-skmming maxi skirt combo was a daring, sexy choice.

Priyanka Chopra at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Priyanka's blue Versace dress featured a stunning low draped back silhouette with only a single black strap to add a pop of contrast.

Priyanka Chopra at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

If you thought the actress's cobalt blue Versace halter dress, complete with thigh-high slit, was sexy from the front, think again. Priyanka's look was just as sexy from the back — keep clicking.

Rihanna at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

In 2016 — 10 years since her first Billboard Music Awards red carpet — Rihanna [7] put a new spin on sexy with this thigh-skimming vintage Thierry Mugler dress, jeweled Manolo Blahnik shoes, Borgioni diamond ear cuff, and Hearts on Fire diamond bracelets.

Hailey Baldwin at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards

The model turned heads in a gold long-sleeve, deep V-neck Alexandre Vauthier twist-front dress and Jennifer Fisher jewels.
