Purple reign: Selena Gomez dazzled as a performer and presenter at the EMAs in Belfast tonight
If the test of a relationship is that it survives through the most turbulent of times, then young Selena Gomez and her even younger beau, Justin Bieber, are in fine fettle together.
Tonight could've been excruciating for the dewy fresh pair, with both of them required to appear on stage at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast for the MTV EMAs with a paternity suit hanging over their collective heads.
Justin, 17 , as befitting his status as a impish pop juggernaut received the award for best male, but for his pretty girlfriend, it was a tougher task as she was required to present the entire evening.
That the 19-year-old showed such professionalism is a credit to her, sashaying onto the pink carpet at the top of the night in fabulous Marchesa - Selena betrayed not a hint of stress.
Later, she even performed from within a ring of flames and proved that this starlet has got what it takes to walk through the fire.
The first dress was a masterstroke, it's lace fabric is utterly of the moment and the high neckline struck a demure note that suited the Texan flower's cute face.
It could've been ageing with a long skirt, but the truncated and flared hem ensured that the frock was befitting of the Disney's star's teenage years.

This is her moment: Selena seemed to be having the time of her life as she dazzled through outfit changes and performances
Perhaps, subconsciously, or even consciously, Selena was ensuring her imagery perpetuated the idea of teen innocence and snow white virtue.
But there were little traces of the cynicism often evident when celebrity couples face down embarrassing rumours.

Justin left his girlfriend to shine in this plum role, and chatted to friends such as Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere.
And he was happy to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of his girlfriend's turn as host, with the rest of excitable crowd.
And what a show it was from the Disney starlet, who had been considered a wildcard choice for this prestigious presenting gig.

Sparkle seemed to be the leading theme, as Gomez poured herself into gold jeans while carrying a make-shift robot fashioned from a box and then into a 70s style red trouser suit.
But the one to really impress the magpies was a tiny purple sequin jump suit, paired with sexy knee length black boots.
Yet her most impressive sequence came when she performed from within a ring of fire, wearing a fitted leather bodice.

He also delighted the Beliebers with his warm and humble acceptance speech for Best Male.
The bash marks their first public event together since fan Mariah Yeater alleged Bieber 'fathered' her three-month-old baby, which he has strenuously denied.

'...I know what it is like to not have alot...so it feels great to be in a position to #giveback. thanks to everyone helping me. #MUCHLOVE'While 20-year-old Yeater alleges she slept with Justin last October and that he is the father of her three-month-old son, Justin has denied the claims and focused on his work.
He asked his fans to judge him on his music and it seems that Beliebers are sticking behind the superstar during this tough time.

Justin's latest project has been teaming up with Mariah Carey for their duet All I Want For Christmas Is You (SuperFestive).
While Justin is carrying on as normal it emerged that Yeater allegedly claimed her ex-boyfriend was also the father of her child last year, be like Justin he too claimed that he wasn't.
Big claims: Mariah Yeater, seen here in a police booking photo, claims that Justin is the father of her baby but the singer denies the allegations
'It's crazy that some people want to make up false allegations.
Asked if he knew Yeater, he insisted 'Never met the woman.'
And when asked that such claims are 'what comes along with life in the fast lane,' Bieber said: 'Exactly.'
