The outfit represented something different for Avril, who attended the ceremony to present an award to Olivia Rodrigo.

She hit the red carpet for the night alongside boyfriend Mod Sun, who matched her with an all-black outfit featuring a leather jacket and a pop of red in the belt that matched the bright orange in his partner's hair.

The Canadian pop-punk superstar is enjoying a resurgence in popularity with the release of her seventh studio album, Love Sux, in February.

The record has received rave reviews with critics applauding her return to her punk rock roots with a less pop-oriented sound and has already hit the top ten on various album charts worldwide.

The album was the first that Avril recorded after joining friend and collaborator Travis Barker's record label DTA Records and even featured a lot of co-writes and production by Mod.

Avril opened up in a recent interview with Nylon about the different direction the record took, saying: "This is the first one that’s just rock all the way through.

"There was a point in music where the label was like, 'Radio don't want to hear guitars anymore.' Live drums went away. Live electric guitars weren’t getting played. 

"There's always been that fine line that I'm going to make my music that I'm feeling but also you have a company behind you who influences what you're doing."
