Strutting her stuff on the red carpet, Beyonce Knowles looked stunning as she arrived at the 2009 MTV European Music Awards on Thursday.

Held at the O2 World Arena, the “Irreplaceable” singer happened to be a last-minute addition to the performers list – as she’ll be hitting the stage to perform her hit song “Sweet Dreams” during the night’s ceremony.

Along with performing, Beyonce is nominated for gongs including Best Female, Best Live Act, Best Song and Best Video.

Joining in on the MTV EMAs are Miss Knowles’ hubby, Jay-Z, as well as Leona Lewis, Shakira, Green Day and U2.
