The 2013 Billboard Music Awards had a live event with some of the best musical performances of the year and before the awards ceremony took place, several entertainers arrived on the blue carpet and did not disappoint.

Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez topped the best dressed looks of the evening, while Madonna and Ke$ha failed to make an impression.

Cyrus wowed the crowd outside of the venue, on stage and in social media when she arrived wearing a black and white sequins jumpsuit by Balmain. She also wore her engagement ring when she stepped out on stage to announce the release of her first single, We Cant Stop, which will be available on June 3.

Gomez likely caught the attention of her on-and-off again boyfriend, Justin Bieber, in her long white column dress with inset sheer panels and thigh-high split by Versace. Gomez was just as titillating in her performance outfit. She wore a crystal bindi on her forehead with a gold corseted gladiator-inspired dress.

Swift sparkled in a blue sequins mini-dress with sheer cut-out details and mid-thigh length. She stood out as she received several of her eight awards. The country singer had 11 nominations and took home the Top Artist and Top Female Artist wins.

Lopez stunned in a gold dress with a plunging neckline by her favorite designer Zuhair Murad. She complimented the look with gold pointy toe heels. The Live It Up singer later wowed the audience in a red bodysuit with ostrich feather sleeves and matching thigh-high boots for her performance with Miami rapper Pitbull.

Madonna received the Top Touring Artist Award for the mega-success she acheived with her MDNA tour but she topped the worst dressed list thanks to her lack of pants and skirt with her outfit. She wore a Givenchy Couture cropped jacket with a fur collar, with elbow-length fishnet gloves with hot pants, and paired it with garter belts and stockings.
