Mabel, 28, rocks a quirky checked dress as she joins her chic mum Neneh Cherry, 60, on the MTV European Music Awards red carpet

Mabel rocked a quirky checked dress as she joined her chic mum Neneh Cherry on the MTV European Music Awards red carpet in Manchester on Sunday night.

The songstress, 28, looked as stylish as ever in the high-neck number as she joined her Swedish singer mum Neneh, 60, arriving at the event.

Mabel has followed her mum into music and the pair looked in great spirits as they put on an animated display arriving for the event together.

Neneh showed off her sophisticated sense of style in an oversized beige suit which she wore with a white shirt.

She completed her look with chunky, shiny black shoes and wore her dark tresses pulled back.

Neneh is a Swedish singer who has released six studio albums; the first of which, Raw Like Sushi, reached number three in the UK Albums chart - just like her daughter's.

She has been nominated for a Grammy Award and has two Brit Awards under her belt - and while her daughter Mabel is certainly catching up to her mother, the young singer hasn't quite reached Neneh's heights yet.

Her debut single Finders Keepers, released in 2017, reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

This was followed up two years later with the release of her album High Expectations at number three in the Albums Chart - which later went platinum.

In 2020, just three years after bursting onto the scene, she won a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist.

Rita Ora has made history as the first person to host the MTV European Music Awards for the third time this year, at the star-studded ceremony held at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena.

It comes after organisers were forced to cancel last year's event in Paris due to security fears amid the Israel and Hamas war.

Taylor Swift leads the 2024 nominations with seven nods, while Raye , Shawn Mendes and Teddy Swims will be performing to the huge crowd of 20,000 fans.

During the show host Rita will also reportedly pay tribute to late pal and One Direction star Liam Payne , following the singer's tragic death aged 31 last month.

The One Direction singer fell 45ft from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires.

A source claimed the tribute could range from a musical performance of Liam's hits to a video looking back at his time in showbiz.

They told The Sun : 'In the coming days they will start drawing up official plans. Officially Rita is yet to be announced, but she is hosting this year's awards and will be involved in whatever MTV decides to do'.

'She and Liam have been close for years and grew in the industry together. Obviously she is devastated by his passing'.

Pop superstar Taylor, who already has 15 MTV EMAs to her name, is up for Best Artist, Best Video, Best Pop, Best Live and Biggest Fans. She is also up for Best Collaboration for her single Fortnight with Post Malone, which has also scored a nod in the Best Video category for her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.

Yet she faces stiff competition on the night as Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter all scored five nominations each, appearing in categories such as Best Song, Best Video and Best Artist.

Closely following with four nominations each are Ayra Starr, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, LISA, plus first-time nominees Chappell Roan and Tyla.

There are 19 nominees have the chance to score their first ever MTV EMA at this year's show, including: Kehlani and Tinashe in the Best R&B category, Disclosure and Fred Again.. for Best Electronic, Fontaines D.C. for Best Alternative, The Last Dinner Party for Best New and BTS' Jimin for Best K-Pop, which marks his first nomination as a solo artist.

Elsewhere, MTV Push's finest battle it out in the Best Push category, which features Flyana Boss, Laufey, Shaboozey, The Warning, Victoria Monét, as well as LE SSERAFIM and Teddy Swims, who are also up for Best New.

With the MTV EMAs headed to Manchester, there is even more anticipation in store for fans in the city, as Liam Gallagher goes head to head with Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Green Day, Kings of Leon, Lenny Kravitz and The Killers in the Best Rock category.

Speaking ahead of the event host Rita said: 'I'm over the moon that I get to be back with my MTV family hosting the EMAs for the third time!

'The EMAs stage has become like another home for me, and this year's show in Manchester is going to be absolutely incredible!

'We've got an amazing lineup of music performances and plenty of surprises in store. We're all 'mad fer it!'.'

One of the biggest global music events celebrates the world's most iconic artists, bringing fans a unique, multi-platform experience across MTV's global network in nearly 150 countries.

The 2024 MTV EMAs will broadcast at 9pm GMT Sunday, November 10 on MTV UK, Channel 5 and Pluto TV.

The awards, sponsored by Cetaphil for Sensitive Skin and Paramount+, will be available on demand on Paramount+ from November 12.
