The 2021 Billboard Music Awards kicked off with a plethora of our favorite stars showing off their very best red-carpet fashion moments, and because the Billboard Awards doesn’t necessarily have the same pomp and circumstance as other award shows, it gives celebs a chance to really show off their creative fashion senses without the high pressure of high Hollywood glam.

Regardless, this year, the girls (and guys) showed up and showed out, setting the tone for a historic night ahead and we’re already gushing over some of our favorite looks.

From Doja Cat to Saweetie, it’s definitely shaping up to be a stylish affair and we can’t wait to see who takes the crown as the night’s best dressed. Until then, check out the evening’s best fashion moments.
