The stars left their fashion sense well and truly behind them as panto style ruled at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
The bigger the name, the crazier the outfit at the glittering Belfast bash - where Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber were the big winners.
From space-age silver disc dresses to fluorescent body-con catsuits, the celebs gave fashion pundits plenty to talk about.
Leading the charge - as always - was Lady GaGa who claimed four gongs. She sported not one but two surreal choices in red and then silver.
Love her or hate her, she always gives the punters an eyeful and her silver disc dress with a black, mask-like hat was a jaw-dropping dream. Or should that be nightmare.
Her final outfit was an after-party crowd pleaser - a futuristic silver gown by Paco Rabanne.
The thigh's the limit for Selena Gomez - who wowed in a flirty yet feminine mini dress by British label Marchesa. The daring cream creation was one of the biggest style hits of the night.
Hayden Panettiere proved a real style Hero amidst the madness in an elegant monochrome mini dress.
Also pint-sized and ready to party was Jersey Shore blabbermouth Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi – choosing a relatively low-key LBD and glitter heels.
It was curtains for Bar Refaeli – in a bizarre black mini dress with dip-dye side panels.
Neither short and sweet nor floor-length and fabulous, the creation set the Bar for suspect styles that missed their mark on the night.
But Bar was not the only star to get it wrong.
Evanescence singer Amy Lee looked dowdy in tartan Vivienne Westwood and work boots.
And the usually flawless Louise Roe failed to impress in a red playsuit that only highlighted her boyish frame.
Russian Replay model Irina Shayk turned heads for all the right reasons in a slashed-to-the-waist leather and silk gown - a tad on the tacky side but when you're this beautiful you can pull almost anything off.
The same can't be said for British singer and model Lauren Bennett - who tried far too hard in a S&M-style catsuit with embellished shoulders. A style flop.
Playing it far safer was fellow Brit talent Katy B - keeping her look simple in a black playsuit livened up by red heels and a cheeky plunging neckline.
Hollyoaks beauty Jennifer Metcalfe took the plunge too, daring the bare in a sexy black top and wet-look leggings. The killer body of the night.
Leaving the boring black look of lesser stars behind her, Katy Perry showed how A-list pop styling is down - and it wasn't subtle.
Like a walking, talking strawberry milkshake, the star wore a retro pastel mini dress, pink leather jacket and platform brogues. Bonkers but beautiful.
Also bonkers but flying the flag for Britain was Jessie J. She rocked two bodysuits, the first was a slick cut-out look.
But her second Dali-esque print dress, proved too 'busy' to win praise. Poor Jessie's pretty face all but disappeared behind its blinding appeal.
Thank goodness then for Jessie's third and final choice of the night - a brassy but brilliant leopard print gown.
Not quite managing the same roar sex appeal was David Hasselhoff. If ever there was a 'Daddddd' fashion disaster just waiting to be mocked it's this man's poor attempt to Bieber things up with a hat and jeans.
Justin Bieber showed the Hoff how to strike the right note in his smart jeans with a collared shirt covered by a black jumper.
