Posting a video of herself on Instagram in which she stunned in a slinky silver dress and matching Versace heels, she said: "I'm like a big kid, I'm so excited!"
Alex filmed the clip from the back of her chauffeur-driven car before rocking up on the red carpet outside the Crypto.com Arena.
The annual awards - at which Beyonce cleaned up - were hosted by Trevor Noah and attended by a host of famous faces, including Madonna and Sam Smith.

"Or, just not finding my voice and not speaking out because I'm scared."
