Saweetie pulled out all the stops at this year's MTV EMAs in Budapest as she wowed the crowds with four costume changes at the star-studded ceremony. 

The rapper, 28, started her night in an elegant figure-hugging black gown with an orange and gold detail before swapping into a black sheer dress with a leg split as she hit the red carpet at the Papp László Sports Arena. 

Performing and hosting at this year's ceremony, Saweetie then stormed the stage in a dazzling silver corset with a busty-cut out detail, a matching hood, and elbow-length gloves.

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

Saweetie served as host for this year's 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.'

Among those performing on the night include Saweetie herself along with Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Kim Petras, Maluma, girl in red, Imagine Dragons and Måneskin.

Justin has emerged as the frontrunner for this year's awards as he has received a total of eight nominations.

The singer, 27, has the most nominations of any act this year with Doja Cat and Lil Nas X both coming in second with six nods each.

Justin's nominations include 'Best Artist,' 'Best Pop,' two 'Best Song' noms for his global hits 'Peaches' featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon and 'STAY' with The Kid LAROI.

Ed and EMA newcomers Olivia Rodrigo and The Kid LAROI follow closely with five nominations each, including 'Best Pop' and 'Best Song' for Ed and Olivia.

The above artists' nominations also include 'Best Local Act' for each of their respective home countries.

MTV are reportedly planning on using the event to 'stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary and around the world' after the country passed a law in June banning content deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change on primtime television.

In an internal memo, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of MTV Entertainment Group Worldwide said the decision to keep the ceremony in Hungary would likely come as a surprise to many.

He said: ''I have to be honest with you, as a gay man, my personal emotions got the better of me.

Friends: Saweetie looked like she was having an amazing night as she joked around with her pal Winnie Harlow on the red carpet 

Gorgeous: She put on a leggy display in her black side-split dress and toweing stilettos as she posed for a candid pic with her model friend 

'After learning this legislation passed, my knee-jerk reaction was that we should move the event to another country.

'However, after my emotions cooled down, I picked up the phone to connect with global LGBTQ+ advocates like All Out, got feedback from LGBTQ+ advocates in Hungary, spoke with Raffaele, Bruce and other team members from around the world, and consulted our LGBTQ+ employee resource group, Emerge.

The MTV EMAs will broadcast live on MTV UK on Sunday 14 November at 9pm and on Channel 5 at 11pm.
