Little Mix led the glamour on Sunday night ahead of hosting the 2020 MTV EMAs.
The band were also joined by Rita Ora who wowed in a ruffled yellow mini dress.
This year’s ceremony was hosted by Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Liegh-Anne Pinnock.
Jesy Nelson was meant to co-host the show with her bandmates but was forced to pull out due to illness.
The singer was also absent from the final of the group’s talent show Little Mix: The Search which aired on Saturday.
The trio opened the show by performing their single Secret Love Song in demure brown gowns, while their absent bandmate Jesy ‘rooted from home’.
The Search host Chris Ramsey addressed fellow artist Jesy’s absence as he said: ‘Jesy will not be joining us tonight, but she’s rooting for the contestants from home’.
