Forget the music and the videos. What a fashion show!

Shakira and Pink wore the same (shock!) Balmain dress. And it didn't look that great on either girl. Kanye West dressed like a bit of rough. Gerard Butler just woke up. Jennifer Lopez looked like a “Desperate Housewife.” Katy Perry looked sexier than Megan Fox? And, no surprise, Lady Gaga stole the style show with her Victorian "Phantom of the Opera" sheer black lace frock by Jean Paul Gaultier and raven collar, all just a warm-up for her bloody Grand Guignol performance.

Check out the 2009 VMA best dresses, lamest excuses and biggest disasters.
