Teddy Swims, hot of the heels of the tartan look he wore to the MTV EMAs in Manchester earlier this month, was a sight to see yet again on Wednesday.
This time, he was swathed in an extravagant black poncho with glittering gold trim, one that was so voluminous he appeared engulfed by it.
Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town brought back memories of 1980s excess in a monochrome dress with a giant black bow over the bust.
Her blonde hair was gathered into a retro updo for the star-studded event, where she treated the photographers to her charming smile.
Marcus King meanwhile flashed a tad more flesh than was entirely necessary, wearing shirt with a neckline that plunged down past his chest to bare his tattoos.
Amplifying the kitsch effect with bright crimson sunglasses, he hit the red carpet on the arm of his wife Briley King, whom he married last year.
Briley was draped in a tight yellow dress streaked with tousled feathery accents that gave the faint impression her outfit was molting.
By contrast, Keith Urban dressed down to the point that he appeared unsure if he was off to attend an awards show or shovel the driveway.

TJ Osborne radiated country style in a dashing ensemble - but his brother and bandmate John Osborne had a bit less success.
The Osborne Brothers attended the fete on the arms of their mutual love interests, TJ with his boyfriend Abi Ventura and John with his wife Lucie Silvas.
Abi went dashingly shirtless under his suit, but the shiny purple cravat and general color scheme somewhat combined the looks of Scooby Doo and his friend Fred.
Billy Bob Thornton cut a slightly disheveled figure in a lopsided outfit reminiscent of the lower moments of his Bad Santa character.
Niki Moon went slightly too far in the casual direction, not only wearing a short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt but also leaving it open to reveal his undershirt.
