The Billboard Music Awards always brings out some of the biggest names in music, and tonight’s event was no exception! Now that the awards have been handed out, it’s time to judge the funky fashion. First up? Alicia Keys‘ three-piece Valentino outfit. Though it was certainly eye-catching, we’re not quite sure the combination was fashionable. The star arrived in this bold monochromatic pink ensemble comprised of a crop top, high-waisted trousers and a dramatic coat complete with a train for a strange dressy-casual couture hybrid.

Almost but not quite! Priyanka Chopra arrived in this semi-sheer Dolce&Gabbana design.

A high-low hemline rarely scores a fashion hit, and Saweetie’s was unfortunately no exception to that rule. The singer arrived in this bold ballgown in a killer peach hue by Giambattista Valli, but the ruffled distracting hemline that also showed a peek of bright orange tulle underneath lost us. Despite not loving the silhouette, we did love the pink floral embellishments down the bodice, which matched perfectly with her nails…

Serving up some serious Beetlejuice vibes? Doja Cat, who arrived in these Balmain coordinates. Though we liked the bold black and white stripes, we weren’t fans of the tiny crop top with dramatic sleeves paired with high-waisted flare pants. And though from afar it looked like a necklace, a closer look shows that the star wasn’t wearing a necklace — that’s just a part of the top! Let’s check it out…

Once we got a closer look we realized Doja Cat’s Balmain crop top was actually halter-style, with the large turquoise design attaching the top and circular neck detail. From there she added equally bold earrings from D’heygere, which included live plants that you have to see to believe…

Yikes! One of our favorite country artists Gabby Barrett arrived in this puzzling design — a golden gown by Nicolas Jebran that included both a one-shouldered silhouette that flowed into an over-the-top train in the back and a front that included an asymmetrical hemline with a slit.
