A star-studded musical affair, the MTV VMAs never disappoint with an endless parade of outrageous and over-the-top outfits.
Check out all the celebs who showed up at the award show, and what they wore .... for better or for worse. Um, we're talking to you Jane Lynch.
2010 MTV VMAs
Lady Gaga rocked an Alexander McQueen gown, feather headpiece, and ombre locks.
Rihanna performed her duet with Eminem in a cropped bustier, tutu skirt, and cross pendant a la Madonna. She topped things off with bright red hair and a sparkly silver headband.
Katy Perry arrived in a figure skater-inspired Marchesa dress from the Fall 2010 collection and bright streaks of color in her loose waves.
Taylor Swift took the stage for an uninterrupted performance in a cream, tulle strapless dress by D&G. Her old Hollywood waves and red lips made up for her lack of footwear.
K$sha hit the VMAs in a trash bag minidress, Snooki-like pouf, and a Rapunzel side braid.
Selena Gomez strikes a pose in a silver strapless bustier with beaded detail and matching metallic skirt, both by Reem Acra.
Ashley Greene shows some leg in a white Giambattista Valli strapless minidress with a black lace overlay from the Resort 2011 collection. Her chunky bangle and dangly earrings along with windswept locks and smoky eyes, give her look added edge.
Snooki opts for a paisley print one-shoulder dress, which she pairs with stick straight hair, new bangs, and a pale pink pout.
Rosario Dawson stuns in a curve-hugging strapless leather dress with side slit. The actress adds bold red lips and matching nails for maximum impact.
Jane Lynch sported a navy, floor-length trench-style cape with Adidas-style stripes and polka-dot lining. The "Glee" star lets the coat speak for itself by opting for a simple white blouse and navy trousers.
