Olly Alexander commands attention in a multicoloured maxi dress as he makes a show-stopping arrival at the MTV EMAs in Budapest

Olly Alexander looked nothing short of sensational as he arrived at the MTV EMAs in Budapest on Sunday.

The Years & Years singer, 31, commanded attention in a blue, red, and yellow maxi dress featuring a ‘loverboy’ motif during his grand entrance to the Papp Laszlo Budapest Sports Arena.

Accessorising his look with a collection of edgy jewellery, he had painted his nails black and elevated his height with a coordinating pair of spiked platform boots.

Having styled his ginger hair into a brushed-forward style, the Eyes Shut hitmaker appeared to be having a blast as he posed up a storm for photographers.

He sported a silver necklace which emulated twisting ivy and completed his ensemble with a pair of matching chunky bracelets. 

This year’s EMAs show saw the awards return to live broadcasting following the virtual ceremony in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Saweetie served as host for the ceremony, taking over from Little Mix who presented last year.

Teasing what to expect from the star-studded show, the rapper said in a statement: ‘Anything can happen at the MTV EMAs. Are you ready?’ before she promised there would be ‘surprises’ in store.

Speaking about hosting, she told E! News: ‘I think MTV is fun. It’s innovative, it’s out the box. And that’s the type of artist I am. So when I got the call to do it, it was a no brainer.’

Among those performing on the night include Saweetie herself along with Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Kim Petras, Maluma, girl in red, Imagine Dragons and Måneskin.  

Justin has emerged as the frontrunner for this year’s awards as he has received a total of eight nominations.

The singer, 27, has the most nominations of any act this year with Doja Cat and Lil Nas X both coming in second with six nods each.

Justin’s nominations include ‘Best Artist,’ ‘Best Pop,’ two ‘Best Song’ noms for his global hits ‘Peaches’ featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon and ‘STAY’ with The Kid LAROI.

Doja Cat and Lil Nas X follow Justin with six nods each, both across ‘Best Song,’ ‘Best Video’ and ‘Best Collaboration.’ 

Ed and EMA newcomers Olivia Rodrigo and The Kid LAROI follow closely with five nominations each, including ‘Best Pop’ and ‘Best Song’ for Ed and Olivia.

Host with the most: Saweetie served as host for this year’s ceremony, taking over from Little Mix who presented last year

The above artists’ nominations also include ‘Best Local Act’ for each of their respective home countries.

MTV are reportedly planning on using the event to ‘stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary and around the world’ after the country passed a law in June banning content deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change on primtime television.

In an internal memo, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of MTV Entertainment Group Worldwide said the decision to keep the ceremony in Hungary would likely come as a surprise to many.  

Success: Ed Sheeran received five nominations each, including ‘Best Pop’ and ‘Best Song’

He said: ”I have to be honest with you, as a gay man, my personal emotions got the better of me.

‘After learning this legislation passed, my knee-jerk reaction was that we should move the event to another country. 

‘However, after my emotions cooled down, I picked up the phone to connect with global LGBTQ+ advocates like All Out, got feedback from LGBTQ+ advocates in Hungary, spoke with Raffaele, Bruce and other team members from around the world, and consulted our LGBTQ+ employee resource group, Emerge.  

The MTV EMAs will broadcast live on MTV UK on Sunday 14 November at 9pm and on Channel 5 at 11pm.
