Heidi Klum may have been the hostess of this year's MTV Europe Music Awards, but she certainly wasn't winning the battle of the red carpet.

For her first of many outfits at the star-studded ceremony in Frankfurt, the 39-year-old left little the imagination in a revealing dress.

The mother-of-four showed off a lot of cleavage in the lace-up blue and gold studded Versace gown as she arrived on the red carpet.

With this year's ceremony being held in her native Germany, the supermodel was a natural choice to host the awards.

As well as the rather skimpy number she arrived in, Heidi is expected to wow the crowds in a variety of costumes throughout the evening.

Ahead of the show she revealed: 'I have six different outfits from Versace that I love very much and I think for an event like the MTV awards I usually have a little bit more fun, I can be a little bit more sexy, a little more rock 'n' roll.

Let's rock this joint: Heidi was in the mood for fun

Outfit change: Heidi changed into a cream strapless dress with a large puffball skirt

'So they have got me beautiful outfits, great shoes and great jewellery, but it depends how much time I have to change in between (hosting) because it's all live.'

It wasn't long until Heidi had her first outfit change and changed in to a cream strapless dress, with cut-out detailing.

The top half of the dress, which appeared to be woven, turned into a large puffball skirt.

She completed the look with a bizarre top hat and leather fingerless gloves.

Ahead of the awards, Heidi and PSY had been practising the Gangnam Style dance.

In a Twitter photo, Heidi was seen wearing PSY's signature blue suit and glasses as she enjoyed a masterclass with him.

Heidi admitted she regularly performed the dance with her four children.

She said recently: 'I’ll have to perform it. I have four small children and they are obsessed with the song. We do Gangnam dance parties at the house.'

Heidi wasn't the only guest to arrive at the awards in a questionable ensemble.

British singer and daughter of Bob Geldof, Pixe Geldof opted for a completely contrasting look to host Heidi.

She covered up in a full-length, long-sleeved dress, which appeared to be knitted, in a range of autumnal colours.

Covered up: Pixie Geldof didn't reveal any flesh in her long-sleeved dress, she also appeared to be wearing shoes which were slightly too small 

Accompanying the rather casual looking dress, Pixie wore a pair of platform sandals which her feet seemed to be a bit big for, as her toes were falling out the ends. 

She accessorised with a large red, foil-like clutch bag and kept her make-up very minimal. 

Lana Del Rey seemed to be following a similar laid-back vibe in a cross-over black dress.

The option was very safe for Lana who accompanied it with her trademark bouffant hair.

Swedish singer Loreen was clearly trying to make sure all eyes were on her as she arrived.

The singer, who rose to fame after taking part in Swedish Idol 2004, wore a large full-bodied black skirt.

She accompanied it with a black biker jacket and nothing underneath.

Train: Kim Kardashian wore a dress with a bizarre train

Victoria's Secret model Isabeli Fontana also opted for a black leather option.

The stunning Brazilian slipped in to a leather catsuit with studded detailing and long tassels coming off her arms.

The racy outfit was unzipped at the top, revealing her cleavage.

Kim Kardashian also turned a few heads in her black dress, with a bizarre frayed train. 

Hoping to impress with their now famous Newcastle style were the girls from Geordie Shore - Charlotte-Letitia Crosby, Vicky Pattison, Holly Hagan and Sophie Kasaei. 

Red-headed Holly in particular went all out in a floor length sparkly and low-cut dress.

It wasn't just the girls who had fashion misses.

Irish duo Jedward wore questionable sparkly blue suits, with biker style jackets.

Engelbert Humperdinck avoids finishing bottom as Sweden races to victory

At least we didn't come last! Engelbert Humperdinck avoids finishing bottom as Sweden races to victory

For a while it looked as if he could be in for an embarrassing last place finish but luckily Engelbert Humperdinck managed to avoid total humiliation tonight. 

The 76-year-old crooner opened the 57th Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan with a performance of his ballad Love Will Set You Free and although he had hoped to break the curse of opening acts failing to win, unfortunately it just wasn't his night.

Even taking to the stage wearing a special 'tcb' [taking care of business] necklace given to him by the late Elvis Presley as a good luck charm, couldn't help him defeat the Sweden's Loreen, the runaway winner on 372 points with her track Euphoria.

Speaking after her win Loreen thanked all of those who had believed in her.

She said: 'I want to say thank you so much thanks you for believing in me, I wouldn’t have been able to do with this without you. This is not just mine, it is ours, I love you.'

She then took to the stage for another rousing rendition of her winning track.

No surprise: It was obvious early on that Loreen was going to romp home to victory with Euphoria but the Swedish singer still looks stunned

Euphoria! Loreen's runaway victory is official as she is named the winner of tonight's Eurovision with 372 points

Humperdinck, nicknamed The Hump, scored a total of 12, with only Belgium, Estonia, Latvia and Ireland voting for him and ended up just one position above Norway, famous for gaining 'nul points' in the annual competition.

Questions will be asked about the decision to hand the Eurovision Song Contest baton to a 76-year-old, leading to one of the worst outcomes for the UK.

Until 2011, the public had a say in who represented the UK and with which song, but that was abandoned when boy-band Blue were chosen to sing I Can, in the hope an established name could bring home the title.

They managed to come 11th last year, a respectable position in comparison to this year.

Popular act Buranovskiye Babushki - the six strong group of pensioners nicknamed The Russian Grannies - came second with Party for Everyone. 

They were notable for performing with a revolving oven on the stage.

Humperdinck, who used the name Gerry Dorsey during the early years of his career, kept the Beatles off the number one spot in the singles chart with Release Me in the 1960s.

Speaking after his performance, he said: 'I had a great time, a very wonderful time. I hope everyone listening to the song... we shared the song with every generation. I sang it from my heart.'

Humperdinck’s song was written by Sacha Skarbek - who teamed up with James Blunt to compose You’re Beautiful - and record producer Martin Terefe.

There was a UK link to another act as jazz musician Jamie Cullum wrote the German entry, Standing Still, performed by Roman Lob.

Meanwhile, Irish twins Jedward were also disappointed as they returned to the competition for the second year in a row. 

The pair received 46 points and came in in 19th place, a poor contrast to last year's eighth.

Irish entrants Jedward gave a high energy performance of Waterline, in direct contrast to Engelbert's ballad but were no match for Sweden's Loreen

The pair – John and Edward Grimes – ditched their usual quiffs for flatter hairstyles and took to the stage wearing futuristic gold suits as they performed Waterline, incorporating their trademark scissor kicks and slightly out of sync dance moves. 

The show, watched in the Crystal Hall by 20,000 people, started at midnight local time, finishing in the early hours of the morning.

26 countries performed at tonight’s competition which up to 125 million people watched.
