The Weeknd officially retired his red suit at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
The 31-year-old superstar - who took home 10 prizes - stepped out at the awards show at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday (23.05.21) sporting a lengthy black coat and trousers by Bottega Veneta, complete with a white shirt and grey tie.
Although he wore a raincoat and Valentino hat for his remote BRIT Awards performance earlier this month, it marked the first time the Save Your Tears hitmaker - whose real name is Abel Tesfaye - sported a different ensemble to his After Hours era look to an in-person ceremony.
Following an introductory video, Drake humbly told the crowd, That video was really full of a lot of confidence and bravado, but you know, the truth is I m really bad at taking compliments.
He went on, I m really self-conscious about my music. Even if I do a good job, I always wonder how I could have done it better. I rarely celebrate anything, noting that he can sometimes feel so lucky and blessed that the fear of losing it keeps you up at night. I ve spent an incalculable amount of hours trying to analyze all the things I did wrong but tonight, for once, I m sure as hell we did something right, continued the singer, who was dressed in a flawless white suit by Tom Ford, with a heart design shaved on his head.

God’s Plan hitmaker Drake was honoured during the masked Billboard Music Awards ceremony at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater on Sunday 23 May, and made a rare public appearance with his three-year-old boy – whom he has with artist Sophie Brussaux – on stage.
Adonis – who wore a red flannel shirt – hugged his father’s leg on stage and had a little cry as Drake gave his acceptance speech.
