    37 Bizarre Fashion Moments From The Billboard Music Awards

    Everything from Prince's teal leisurewear to Justin Bieber's leather.

    1. Ke$ha revealed some sidebutt in Givenchy. "Sidebutt" is now the new "sideboob," apparently.

    2. I almost can't get over how fresh-faced she looks.

    3. Lauryn Hill sang away all her prison blues with an energetic performance.

    4. J.Lo also borrowed the costume for her performance from Atlantic City.

    5. Earlier on the red carpet, J.Lo's boyfriend, Casper Smart, had to stand at one side so she and her Zuhair Murad gown could get some photos solo.

    6. Miley Cyrus looked fabulous in a Balmain jumpsuit.

    7. Speaking of the Biebs, the leather tunic look might work for Gendry on Game of Thrones, but it's less appropriate here.

    8. Also, these ridiculous drop-crotch things continue to happen when they really shouldn't

    9. Orianthi showed up dressed as Kid Rock.

    10. And Kid Rock himself came dressed up as your dad, if you live in West Virginia.

    11. Nicki Minaj limbered up backstage with some yoga, but then when she put her legs around her shoulders the spikes on her jacket ripped her leggings.

    12. Chris Brown wore some casual knitwear.

    13. Only to be upstaged by Ed Sheeran in the IDGAF sweater stakes.

    14. Taylor Swift wore a printed tee with a unicorn and the phrase "haters gonna hate." As if anyone would hate on a unicorn.

    15. One of TSwift's Glee-worthy backing dancers stole a bottle of Rihanna's old red hair dye.

    16. And Pitbull got a wedgie on stage. Poor thing.

    17. Back to the red carpet: This sort of attention-seeking fuckery stopped being fun circa 2009, "Z-LaLa."

    18. Enough, really.

    19. (See above.)

    20. Also circa 2009, Audrina Patridge and that chainmail blouse.

    21. Hayden Panettiere showed off a sad, junior prom-worthy take on the half-shaved-head trend.

    22. Ah yes, the half-shaved-head trend.

    23. And this pose needs to not happen. Just take your jacket off if your T-shirt is that great.

    24. Also, this T-shirt is not that great either.

    25. Selena Gomez wore something involving glow sticks and sheer cutouts. It wasn't great.

    26. But then she wore a bindi again and that was much worse.

    27. Tracy Morgan sparkled.

    28. Skye Stevens matched his splattered pants with his sneakers, thereby destroying any of the edginess that paint-strewn denim can imply.

    29. Jason Derulo is buff now, and wearing sleeveless shirts to make us all aware of that.

    30. Fact: Neither of these people want to be here.

    31. Another fact: Erykah Badu and Janelle Monae were competing to see who could include more accessories you'd more commonly find on curtains into their outfit.

    32. I thought this was one of The Wanted, but it's not.

    33. There were things written on Lil Wayne's pants but they don't seem to make any sense.

    34. Madonna's ass warranted photos of its own.

    35. Alyssa Milano's ridiculous sheer pants make Avril Lavigne's shin pads look like a sensible wardrobe choice.

    36. Also, Shania Twain came to get married.

    37. In conclusion, this felt quite normal.
