Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images Fashion at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards was all about optical illusion. Kylie Jenner represented the thermo-imaging trend that’s hitting it big this season, while Mary J. Blige’s dress almost looked like a tattoo. Here, all the must-see outfits from the red carpet.

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Kylie Jenner hit the red carpet with boyfriend Travis Scott and daughter Stormi Webster wearing one of the biggest trends of the season: the new take on the naked dress . Her Balmain gown featured a thermal-image print that looked sheer but was a total optical illusion.

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images In all black, Teyana Taylor bared it all, wearing a totally sheer Skims bandeau bralette and embellished Givenchy pants that rode so low you could see her exposed G-string on each hip. She accessorized the look with Balenciaga platforms, chunky silver jewelry, and a studded belt.

Amy Sussman/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Dojo Cat also went the sheer route , wearing a black Schiaparelli Couture gown with a sculptural top that rode below her breast line at the front, revealing a sheer tulle wrap that cascaded down her back and gold nipple covers underneath.

Amy Sussman/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Choosing red for her carpet walk, Dove Cameron’s Ashlyn gown featured silk that bustled at the hips. With a totally open front — held together by completely sheer tulle — her look fully embraced cut-outs .

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Megan Fox kept it classic — with a twist — for this year’s Billboard Music Awards in a black David Koma dress with a down-to-there neckline and up-to-there slit that nearly met each other at her naval. On each sleeve was an embellished silver flower for a whimsical touch.

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Chloe Bailey sported a black leather long-sleeved turtleneck gown designed by Valdrin Shahiti with a cutout so large across her mid-section that you could see her matching thong underneath. The look had total early aughts vibes.

Amy Sussman/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Heidi Klum went for color in a bright yellow strapless Toni Maticevski dress, but paired the highlighter look with a pair of black thigh-high boots and matching opera-length gloves.

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images Taking the suiting look to the next level, Liza Koshy opted for a tailored mini skirt and matching blazer from Area, though the top half was totally cut out and embellished to resemble the boning of a corset.

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Mary J. Blige rocked a long-sleeve Julien Macdonald gown with a head-turning front slit and allover embellishments that looked as though they had been tattooed directly onto her body.
