The MTV Movie & TV Awards went down in Hollywood today, and racy outfits dominated the red carpet.

MTV Movie & TV Awards 2021: Addison Rae's risqué look on the red carpet

Hollywood rolled out the red carpet for the MTV Movie & TV Awards today.

The 29th edition of the awards show saw Emmy-nominated comedian Leslie Jones host the ceremony live from Los Angeles’ Palladium.

It kicked off on Foxtel’s MTV at 11am AEST, with Scarlett Johansson honoured with the Generation Award.

Sacha Baron Cohen also received the Comedic Genius Award.

Check out all the madness of the raciest red carpet we’ve seen all year:

TikTok star and close pal of Kourtney Kardashian, Addison Rae, rolled up in one of the most daring looks of the event, almost completely topless with just a strip of fabric covering her chest.

Serving another bold look, from the hair to this optical illusion-esque skirt, Outer Banks actress Madison Bailey looked like a work of art.

I’m a sucker for anything with pockets, but this teal jumpsuit and matching boots number from Jurnee Smollett was a little Lost in Space.

Not one but TWO sequin-beaded boleros on the carpet. Is it 2002?

Taylour Paige paired hers with a completely-sheer jumpsuit reminiscent of Rose McGowan’s iconic 1998 VMAs naked dress.

Meanwhile, Riley Keough went for head-to-toe sequins in clashing colours. Certainly unusual, but I don’t hate it.
