And the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards delivered! Well....mostly.
As with pretty much any awards show, there was the good, the bad, and the just plain strange.
We'll start, on a good note, with the best dressed crowd.
Beyonce was absolutely stunning in a floor-length, one-shoulder orange Lanvin gown (not to mention her newly preggers glow!). Zoe Saldana rocked the black carpet in a black, embellished Barbara Bui mini dress. Newlywed Kim Kardashian flaunted her hourglass figure in a metallic Kaufman Franco gown. Katie Holmes strutted her stuff in an Azzendine Alaia dress and lace-up booties. Selena Gomez went for high-drama and a touchy of edgy in a Julien MacDonald mini dress with matching train.
Katy Perry 2011 VMAs by fashionistaerin on Polyvore.com
Even though some may disagree, I'd like to nominate all FOUR of Katy Perry's VMA looks for best dressed also. She began the night in a geisha-inspired mini dress. Then she presented an award in a Victorian-inspired, floor-length purple Tom Ford dress (which I'm still in love with!). Next, Katy accepted an award in a mod Dior Couture dress with neon Giuseppe Zanotti heels. I have to be honest about this one, I didn't love the cheese hat (who knew she was a Packers fan!?). However, the quirky stylishness of the overall outfit outweighs the oddity that is that hat. Katy ended the night in a Furne One "Breaking Records" black mini dress (how appropriate!).

Worst Dressed 2011 VMAs by fashionistaerin on Polyvore.com
I'm not sure what Kreayshawn was thinking when she donned a sequin Minnie Mouse dress, but it was definitely lost in translation. Top it off with a pair of Nike sneakers and you have a strange, unconnected mess. I thought you could never go wrong with a classic LBD, but JoJo proved me wrong. The overall idea is great - black dress with sky-high black pumps, nice, right? Wrong, when you add a butt-flap to the mix. And finally, for worst dressed, is Deena from "Jersey Shore." I know their whole schtick is to be gaudy and over-the-top, but seriously? You can't just let someone else dress you for one night and leave the zany stuff for the clubs on the Shore? Needless to say, the too-tight-on-the-titties, rainbow-sequin mini dress and green contacts didn't do it for me.

Lady Gaga never fails to surprise us with her arsenal of odd outfits, but she took it a step further this year by being in drag and committing to her alter ego character, Jo Calderone, the ENTIRE time. Who can blame Gaga? She probably wanted to be comfortable at an awards show, even if it is just once...and in drag. I don't know if I can say what all is strange to me about Nicki Minaj's outfit (if you can call it that), but I'll try. We'll start from the top - why the SARS mask? The huge cupcake necklace didn't make much sense. Then there's the whole metal ensemble of cone-shaped boob cups, and something that resembles a skirt with a pink tutu and purple bloomers. With a hodge-podge of tights under leg warmers under long socks with mismatched bedroom shoes. Complete with what I can only assume is a TAIL made out of tied-together stuffed animals. PHEW! I think I got it all.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was your 2011 MTV VMA style report.
