The stars that slayed it on the red carpet

As the biggest stars turned up to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Music Awards red carpet, all the glamour was on display and then some.

From Craig David to John Legend - everyone turned out to celebrate a pretty amazing year in music, but more importantly they were wearing some of the sharpest looks of 2016.

Mr. Comeback of 2016, Craig David

The year really has belonged to Mr. David. Over the 12 months he's had a number of massive hits and saw his sixth studio album, Following My Intuition, debut at No.1 in the UK album chart. In effortless Craig David style, the singer turned up in a simple baseball jacket and white t-shirt. We approve, Dave.

Lukas Graham were a colourful bunch

The Danish pop band brought the red carpet to life with their array of block colours and if Mark's jazzy hat is anything to go by we're hoping to see many more grace the show.

Jo Whiley wowed us all

Radio 2's very own DJ Jo Whiley quite literally sparkled and dazzled us all (in a good way, obviously) with the cool dress she was sporting - knock 'em dead, Jo!

Adam Lambert gave us dark and sultry

Adam Lambert defijitely got the allure-everyone-in-sight memo, as he turned up to the awards show looking extremely well groomed and dressed to match.

Pixie Lott looked stunning

As usual, Pixie Lott was the epitome of perfection, as she strode up the red carpet in a dazzling, sequined number. That all-important belt around her midriff proving she's one of pop's style icons.

John Legend was effortlessly cool

It's what we've come to expect from John Legend - an effortless, super stylish, uber cool look that looks so damn great, and not even a tie in sight. John pleased patient fans this year with his long-awaited album, Darkness and Light.

Emeli SandΓ© was bold in red

They say you shouldn't wear red on a red carpet, but not only did Emeli Sandé kill it in her red attire, but looked radiant as well.

Matt Goss was all sorts of dapper

Matt Goss is back! Bros is back! And he quite possibly won the red carpet as he rocked the '80s heartthrob equivalent of a Bugsy Malone gangster. We like.

Rick Astley was swish in his shirt and tie

Shirt, check. Tie, check. Warm-looking coat, check. No.1 album in 2016, CHECK.

1/3 of the show's hosts, Fearne Cotton

Fearne rocked up a sparkly red number, as she hosted the awards with Claudia Winkleman and Gemma Cairney.

Claudia seemed a bit shocked

Fellow host Claudia seemed startled or was it just excitement? Anyway, she was wearing a chic black number before taking to the presenting stage.

Gemma Cairney was working the black and gold combo

Gemma made up the trio of hosts and was looking particularly glam in striking gold. She stood out in a very modest way, of course.

The 1975 turned up to perform and work their style

The boys really chilled out ahead of opening the Music Awards and, let's be honest, they looked beyond cool for the press.

Zara Larsson was everything

Zara kinda stole the show with her live performance but her red carpet appearance gave us a mix of glitz and comfort. Suffice to say she totally pulled it off.

Clara Amfo

Radio 1's Clara managed to work the smart-casual look in a fetching pencil skirt and plain black top. She bossed the red carpet every second she was on it, to be fair.

Izzy Bizu stunned with her outfit

Izzy Bizu's eye-catching black number really worked for her; she genuinely looked stunning in that fitted dress.

Living legend Lulu

The music legend hit the red carpet in style and, yep we see it too, that's another hat! Keep them coming, guys.

Naughty Boy seemed to be getting a lot of attention

What else can we say other than we *think* Naughty Boy turned up in a tracksuit. Not to take anything away from it, it's a very lovely tracksuit.

Rebecca Ferguson glammed up for the occasion

The Scouse singer was looking really glam - just check out those earrings - when she strolled onto the red carpet, and in honesty who can blame her?
