MTV Video Music Awards: Best Dressed

Another MTV Video Music Awards red carpet has come and gone.

Another MTV Video Music Awards red carpet has come and gone. You know what that means, right? It's time to vote on the best dressed of the night! This year's contenders are the following: Olivia Palermo in her shoulder-cutout Susan Woo LBD, Kristin Cavallari in a strapless sequined minidress, Beyonce in a sassy LRD, Whitney Port in a sheer Christopher Kane, and Leighton Meester in her sequin Christian Cota. All five ladies turned up the volume but only one can take the crown; who's it going to be?

Cassie kept it sassy at the VMAs by donning a plunging silk floral print minidress and killer metallic peep-toe booties. As if that weren't enough, the singer adorned her wrists with matching diamond cuffs, her ears with spunky earrings, and topped it all off with a bright yellow clutch. Is it too much or just right?

MTV Video Music Awards: Madonna

Queen Madge isn't one to be off trend, and tonight was no exception.

Queen Madge isn't one to be off trend, and tonight was no exception. I love her pulled-back pouf — it reminds me of Catherine Deneuve's hair in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Unlike a lot of red carpet denizens, though, she kept her eyes sexy, with a classic Cleopatra line past the outer edges. Her peachy pink lip color was also the perfect shade for rosy, pale girls who have a hard time with the nude lip trend.

MTV Video Music Awards: Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester might be creating some gossip tonight in her sequin Christian Cota minidress, severe Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, and Bottega clutch.

Leighton Meester might be creating some gossip tonight in her sequin Christian Cota minidress, severe Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, and Bottega clutch. I'm totally feeling her dark eye makeup and tousled hair. Do you like Leighton tonight?

MTV Video Music Awards: Nelly Furtado

Come to think of it, we haven't seen a whole lot of updos this evening, so this slicked-back 'do on Nelly Furtado is rather refreshing.

Come to think of it, we haven't seen a whole lot of updos this evening, so this slicked-back 'do on Nelly Furtado is rather refreshing. Ever since her breakthrough song "I'm Like a Bird" came out in 2000, I've had my eye on the exotic-looking singer. Perhaps you might recall her blonder than blond look from the 2007 VMAs that most of you were not digging? Tonight, the songstress goes for a more refined style, her dark brown locks pulled back into a classic twist, accentuating her delicate features. What do you think of her 2009 look, complete with smoky gray eyes and matte lips? Is it a bit too prim and proper for your liking or does she say it right?

Lauren Conrad looks ready to party in her black and white geo-print frock and peep-toe black pumps. A simple necklace and a few rings are her only accessories. Is it too simple or just perfect?

MTV Video Music Awards: Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys always looks ineffably cool.

Alicia Keys always looks ineffably cool. Like so many other celebrities, she opted for a big, bold updo. Instead of the white eye shadow we've been seeing all over the red carpet tonight, though, she went for a flattering gunmetal-gray and silver combination that's less harsh than straight-out white. A little blush and a neutral pink lip kept her from looking washed out. What do you think? Is this look a symphony of subtle shades, or an off-note?

Alicia Keys posed in a fun metallic polka-dot dress and equally radiating sandals. But the shine doesn't stop there; the singer stacked her wrists with sparkling bangles and held on to a quilted silver clutch. Extra-large hoop earrings and a cool emerald ring wrap up her look. Yay or nay?

MTV Video Music Awards: Nelly Furtado

So many LBDs tonight!

So many LBDs tonight! But Nelly Furtado's is a bit different — it has jewels all over the top. The pockets keep her from being overly fancy, while shiny earrings and Mary Jane platforms complete her look. What say you?

MTV Video Music Awards: Beyonce

Many stars wore LBDs tonight, but not Beyonce — she wore an LRD!

Many stars wore LBDs tonight, but not Beyonce — she wore an LRD! And a saucy one with a plunging front at that. Black satin pumps, oversize hoops, and stacked bangles upped her glam factor. Thoughts?
