Carly Rae Jepsen wins Best New Artist at MTV Video Music Awards Japan after defending her mentor Justin Bieber
|
Carly Rae Jepsen triumphantly took home the Best New Artist statuette at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan in China Saturday.
The 27-year-old singer rocked a metallic purple Didit Hediprasetyo frock and black pumps as she clutched her Lauren Merkin minaudière on the red carpet.
The newly redheaded starlet then changed into a tiny LBD emblazoned with an electric guitar to perform alongside girl-group Momo Kuro the Makuhari Messe.

'Wow Japan. Thank you so much! I won BEST NEW ARTIST VIDEO!!!! So happy! @MTV_Japan #VMAJ,' Carly tweeted to her 7.4 million followers.
The two-time Grammy nominee recently
came to the defense of her mentor and fellow Canadian pop star, Justin
Bieber, who got booed at the Billboard Music Awards.

'People are constantly, like, "Is Justin OK?" I've not really noticed any of that,' Jepsen told Billboard magazine.
'I feel like Justin's a guy who's working hard every day, and I think the media can sometimes be a little brutal with stuff and over-exaggerate things.
'But I stand by him. I support him. I think he's a good guy, and he's doing the best he can.'
'Wow Japan. Thank you so much!' Jepsen took to her Twitter to show her gratitude for the honor
'Getting all dolled up for the show!' The Canadian pop princess posted numerous Instagram snaps of herself at the Asian awards show
Carly owes much of her overnight success to 20-year-old Justin, who made her the opening act for his Believe Tour and tweeted her Call Me Maybe video to his massive Twitter fan base.
However, the blue-eyed beauty is most
smitten with her leading man - musician Matthew Koma - whom she's been
linked to since early last year.
The touchy-feely couple landed at Tokyo's Narita airport hand-in-hand.
