The 2011 Billboard Awards brought out the best and brightest music stars (literally) . Among the celebs were several amazing red carpet looks that stole the show.

Kelly Rowland showed off her small frame in this fuchsia Herve Ledger bandage dress with sparkling stilettos. The bombshell had a fun, bright face full of poppin’ pinks and hints of purple.

Rihanna added a little masculine flair to her look by wearing this well-tailored Max Azria white pantsuit. She kept it fresh and clean with nude Christian Louboutin heels.

Showing off her wild side, Mary J. Blige slipped into this leopard-print Marc Bouwer gown with slightly prominent shoulders. She opted for a different ‘do with this long honey-blonde ponytail and full bang.

Keri Hilson exercised her signature style of rocking colorful, vivid pieces with this lemon Rachel Roy ensemble with sheer sleeves and a cerulean blue belt. To not overpower her look, she wore Christian Louboutin Balota sandals.

Always sure to cause a stir, Nicki Minaj sent a jolt through the red carpet when she arrived wearing a blinged-out powder-blue one-piece, courtesy of designer Mark Fast.
