All the Red Carpet Arrivals at the 2021 MTV European Music Awards

The 2021 MTV European Music Awards (EMA’s) brought numerous celebrity arrivals to the red carpet—packed with plenty of flair and glamour. From feathers and metallic tones to vibrant prints and daring silhouettes, the event brought forth a bold variety of dramatic fashion.

The footwear front was equally varied and statement-making. Numerous celebrities opted for strappy sandals and pointed-toe pumps, featuring a range of colors and sparkly accents. Others chose printed loafers and sleek boots, seemingly paying homage to the ceremony’s rock n’ roll history. Still, many went the traditional route in versatile leather loafers, boots and heels.

This year’s awards also mark the first time that Hungary is hosting the ceremony, taking place at the Laszlo Papp Budapest Sports Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Saweetie will serve as the evening’s host. Leading the EMA’s nominations are Justin Bieber with eight nominations, followed by Doja Cat and Lil Nas X with six nominations each. Other nominated artists include Olivia Rodrigo, Ed Sheeran and The Kid Laroi.
