Olly Alexander looked nothing short of sensational as he arrived at the MTV EMAs in Budapest on Sunday.

The Years & Years singer, 31, commanded attention in a blue, red, and yellow maxi dress featuring a 'loverboy' motif during his grand entrance to the Papp Laszlo Budapest Sports Arena.

Accessorising his look with a collection of edgy jewellery, he had painted his nails black and elevated his height with a coordinating pair of spiked platform boots.

Having styled his ginger hair into a brushed-forward style, the Eyes Shut hitmaker appeared to be having a blast as he posed up a storm for photographers.

He sported a silver necklace which emulated twisting ivy and completed his ensemble with a pair of matching chunky bracelets. 

This year's EMAs show saw the awards return to live broadcasting following the virtual ceremony in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Saweetie served as host for the ceremony, taking over from Little Mix who presented last year.

Teasing what to expect from the star-studded show, the rapper said in a statement: 'Anything can happen at the MTV EMAs. Are you ready?' before she promised there would be 'surprises' in store.

Speaking about hosting, she told E! News: 'I think MTV is fun. It's innovative, it's out the box. And that's the type of artist I am. So when I got the call to do it, it was a no brainer.'
