She may have twerked on the red carpet, but Miley Cyrus looked like she'd just come from a tribal dance class in her bejeweled crop top and tights.

''I'm just tryin' to bust a little Angelina Jolie up in herrrr,'' said Katy Perry, as she showed off the thigh-high slit on her Emanuel Ungaro leopard-print dress. Ms. Perry, you're no Angelina Jolie, but you do look fantastic. (And I'm going to pretend you didn't wear that ridiculous grill.)

In 2010 she shocked us with her bacon dress, but this year (save for the tuna net trawling behind her) Gaga was a shadow of her former red carpet self. Sure, she looked glam, but I miss the days when lunch meat was acceptable attire for the VMAs.

Lil Kim in Anthony Latimore
Welcome back to the VMA red carpet, Lil Kim! It's so nice to see you, and thank you for knowing better than to dig that one shoulder jumpsuit and nipple doily out of your closet.

Richard Simmons tweeted that people kept confusing him with Russell Simmons. Must have been because he wore long pants instead of his usual bedazzled gym shorts.

Rita Ora in Alexandre Vauthier
The umbrella holder is so VMAs 2008. (What's up Fonzworth Bentley?) 2013 is all about Rita Ora's train carrier. Just one thing, this isn't the Oscars.

Selena Gomez in Atelier Versace
I love, love, love this peek-a-boo bustier gown, but I would have liked it even more without the sleeves. I'd also like to teach Selena how to say the word ''atelier'' correctly. If you're old enough to wear a designer dress, you should know how to pronounce the name of the designer.

Taylor Swift in Herve Leger
Is it just me, or does Taylor Swift look exactly the same on every single red carpet? Would it kill her to borrow a bustier and a pair of hot pants from her Red tour wardrobe closet? C'mon, it's the VMAs!
