Billboard Music Awards 2021: Meaning behind The Weeknd’s red suit explored as he debuts new look
The Weeknd ditched his red suit and debuted his new look on Sunday, May 24’s Billboard Music Awards 2021. Here’s the meaning behind his After Hours Red suit explored.
The singer who was seen in a red suit for almost the entirety of 2020, appeared in a black overcoat, paired with a white shirt, black pants and a grey tie.

The Weeknd has already picked up Top Male Artist, Top R&B Artist, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top R&B Male Artist, Top R&B Album, Top Radio Song, and Top R&B Song.

Stay tuned for the full winners list!
