One of the best parts of every year's VMAs is the red carpet fashion. Este año was certainly no exception! From crazy avant-garde creations to high-fashion drama and a "who wore it better?" snafu, la alfombra roja kept us on our toes este año as we tried to spot our most and least favorite vestidos!
Algunos looks nos dejaron sin palabras...

While others left us with plenty to talk about!

One of the MOST talked-about fashion moments from last night's show? (Other than the bewilderment at the latest Lady Gaga ensembles, por supuesto!) The matching vestido fiasco between Shakira and Pink! Las cantantes showed up in matching Balmain black and silver sequined dresses (oops!), but they took the red-carpet mishap in stride and turned it into un chiste, even posing para fotos juntas on the red carpet. A quien le luce mejor?
Best Non-Basic Black Vestido
Latina Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton VS. Los Premios co-amfitriona, Nelly Furtado

Ambas cantantes opted for un vestido negro, pero los detalles make the dress in both cases. Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton showcased her best assets in a sexy backless number, while Nelly's more conservative sheath dress brought attention to her neck and shoulders with intricate beading and sequins.
Most Badass Fashion Pareja
The, ahem, outspoken Kanye West and Amber Rose VS. Latin powerhouse couple, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez

Kanye sported jeans, shades and a bottle of liquor to show his bad boy steeze, but nothing makes more of a fashion statement than his model girlfriend, Amber Rose, draped over him in her second-skin snake-print bodysuit. On the other hand, Marc, also sporting sunglasses at night, accompanied JLo in an... interesting outfit with detached velour sleeves and sky-high leopard print booties. Both parejas seemed to be trying to prove their edge, pero which one had you convinced?
Best WTF Red Carpet Look
Techni-colored Perez Hilton VS. Metal warrior Jack Black

Perez always knows how to make a fashion statement. This time around, he meticulously matched his hi-liter yellow Doc Marten boots to his... dishwashing gloves? As an equally unlikely fashion accessory, Jack Black chose to bring along his giant double-headed axe. Porque, claro, no sabias that the VMA red carpet is a bloodthirtsy battleground?!
Classiest Hombre
Cuban rapper Pitbull VS. Senegalese R&B mogul Akon

Pitbull looked like a suave casanova in his 3-piece suit and purple tie, while Akon opted for a more modern traje and skinny black tie. Both hip-hop stars really rocked their suits for the red carpet, pero cual lució más guapo?
