Closing off award’s season, the iHeartRadio Music Awards hosted some of the biggest names in music and pop culture on Thursday. Swapping out sweatpants for couture following a year of at-home awards ceremonies and virtual performances, these stars were ready to step out in their finest and make a statement. 

 

And they definitely delivered. 

 

Here are some of the best looks of the night:

 

Megan Thee Stallion

Taking home the iHeartRadio Music Award for Best Collaboration, Megan shone in a shimmering gold mesh-paneled cutout mini dress and matching gold sequined ankle-wrap stilettos.

Demi Lovato
Lovato stepped out in a midnight blue velvet pantsuit by Dundas – with nothing underneath. Instead, they added touches of shine to accent the look, including silver platforms by Giuseppe Zanotti, a silver bolo necklace and feather earrings by EFFY and Graziela.

 

Lil Nas X

The “Call Me By Your Name” singer sported an iridescent oversized suit – overcoming his newfound fear of pants – with silver earrings, a diamond grill and metallic eyeshadow to match. He finished off the look with white platform boots paired with a mini white Telfar bag.

Doja Cat

The superstar, who catapulted to fame last year, wore a sexy, next-to-nothing look in a sheer olive green Brandon Maxwell ensemble with matching undergarments. Read more about the rapper-singer in V Magazine’s cover story here.

Leave it to Doja to be extra. She made a quick outfit change, coming out in plunging Miu Miu ‘21 resort design, she lived up to her name with sketches of kittens adorning her dress. The black bow accents were paired with black platform pumps. Totally chic.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly

The powercouple gave us modern-day Barbie and Ken vibes with their monochromatic looks. Fox’s bubblegum-pink Mach & Mach jumpsuit with silver straps complemented MGK’s silver distressed short suit. He added touches of pink, including a butterfly on his lapel and pink, striped socks to match with his boo.

Ariana Grande

Despite not making an appearance on the red carpet (Grande and The Weeknd were the opening act of the show) the recently married popstar looked glam in a silky purple crop top and matching silk midi skirt. Her signature winged eyeliner and sleek ponytail completed the look.

H.E.R.

The singer-songwriter continued the oversized suit trend with a shimmering silver and gold pantsuit, layered over a bedazzled silver top. She accessorized the look with giant, square sunglasses and chunky rings

She swapped this look for sequined and feathered black flares, and an Elton John top as an homage to the night’s guest of honor.

Ava Max

The “Sweet But Psycho” singer pulled up in satin red corset pants and shimmery silver platform heels. Her metallic silver bra, adorned with crosses, matched her cuffs, creating a sexy and edgy ensemble.

Lil Huddy and Charli D’Amelio

The Tik Tok superstars arrived in their best red carpet looks, with Lil Huddy in Saint Laurent and D’Amelio in a stunning Carolina Herrera black gown covered in heart patches.
