The European Music Awards (EMA) took place this past weekend in Düsseldorf, Germany, and stars from around the world gathered to celebrate some of the biggest names and moments in European music.

The ceremony hosted the best in international music with one clear star of the night: Taylor Swift. The singer, who has just released an album, has returned in style, taking four awards of the six categories in which she was nominated in a gala that was hosted by Rita Ora and her husband, filmmaker Taika Waititi and had such top performances as Bebe Rexha and David Guetta performing ‘I’m good (Blue)’ or Muse with ‘Will of the people’.

As usual, American, European and global superstars strutted down the red carpet in their finest gowns and designer attire. The red carpet was full of transparencies, from Rita Ora’s naked dress to Taylor Swift’s fishnet dress. The cut outs appeared in the looks of Lola Lolita, Elettra Lamborghini or Victoria Swarovski.

This year, the red carpet seemed to highlight a few more niche designers alongside the usual big name fashion houses. Vintage, custom and fresh off the runway were on the table at this year’s event.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the most talked about looks from the event.
