Music fans gathered tonight to catch a glimpse of some of the biggest names in showbiz as the MTV Europe Music Awards returned to the UK.
R&B superstar Beyonce, rapper Kanye West and Welsh soul singer Duffy are due to perform at the awards ceremony, which is being held in Liverpool.
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney will accept a one-off Ultimate Legend award during the show, hosted by Katy Perry.
Take That will also make a special appearance and Leona Lewis will present one of the awards.
First to arrive on the red carpet tonight was celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, who was hosting MTV's digital coverage of the awards ceremony.
Hilton, whose gossip website attracts around eight million hits a day, was dressed as a “naughty schoolboy” in knee-lengths shorts, white shirt and school tie.
He said all his outfits for the evening were going to be of a British theme.
He added: “I’ve decided to be very British. I think I look like Elizabeth Hurley’s son, only cuter.”
