The VMAs is one of the most hotly anticipated events in the music world's calendar, and every year people tune in to see the who's who of the music world scoop up coveted prizes like Best Single and Best Music Video. However, that's only part of the appeal, and more often than not, us Average Joes get more pleasure watching what our favorite celebs are wearing on the red carpet. While some outfits dazzle, others do not, and it's the fails that we love to see. With all the money in the world, it's hard to believe that some celebs step onto the red carpet in certain fashion fails! Speaking of fails, this is the incredible moment John Travolta mistook a drag queen for Taylor Swift: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/oPsyYoNm-dkXnENEs.mp4||oPsyYoNm]] So, in honor of last night's ceremony, we've compiled a list of the best and worst dressed... Taylor Swift Taylor Swift wore a bedazzled colorful jacket to this year's VMAs, paired with thigh-high boots. Needless to say, this wasn't just any jacket, but Versace. <img class="wp-image-2133 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27091149/Taylor-Swift-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="926" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] This is a reflection of the 80s inspired outfits the country singing sensation has been wearing to promote her new album Lover, and in our opinion, it's a fashion win. You go, Tay Tay. Lizzo Meanwhile, Lizzo stepped onto an outfit that was giving us a mixture of the 60s and "I just killed my husband" vibes, wearing a red Jessica Rabbit-esque dress paired with a feather boa. <img class="wp-image-2134 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27091316/Taylor-Swift-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="827" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] This dress with the word "Siren" printed on it was made by designer Moschino, and while it's definitely a look, we think she pulls it off. Although, admittedly, unlike Taylor's outfit, it's one that could only really work at the VMAs. Heidi Klum This isn't a bad outfit per se, but we wouldn't call it memorable - for good or bad reasons. I mean sure, it shows off Klum's enviable assets but apart from that, it's not doing much for us. <img class="wp-image-2135 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27091445/Taylor-Swift-3.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="827" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] This playsuit is by Nedo, but compared to the other outfits on this list, it's a just a bit underwhelming. Camila Cabello For some, their art is the great love of their lives, which is why events like Award Ceremonies can feel like weddings in their own right, something Camila Cabello took quite literally with this bridal look. <img class="wp-image-2136 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27091619/Taylor-Swift-4.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="912" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] This is a gorgeous gown and it certainly does nothing to quell the rumors of a potential romance between Cabello and Shawn Mendes. Their duet did, after all, get tongues wagging the world over. Keke Palmer This canary-colored gown ensured that all eyes were on Keke Palmer as she did her thing on the red carpet and that accessory she's holding to her ear made it something else. <img class="wp-image-2137 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27092038/Taylor-Swift-5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="912" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] Yes, it's a phone - and no, we've no idea if it was simply a handbag shaped like one or an actual working device (maybe from the late 90s) and she was hitting up her friends from the red carpet. Gigi And Bella Hadid They might have made their names on the Victoria's Secret runway, which is currently at risk of no longer being televised, but last night these two proved they don't need the lingerie brand to be a hit on the red carpet. <img class="wp-image-2138 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27092221/Taylor-Swift-6.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="912" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] Bella Hadid is dressed in Charlotte Knowles and Gigi, Tom Ford. We love the matching nude colors the sisters chose, although we have to admit - Bella's look is slightly better than Gigi's. 2 Chainz What I love about 2 Chainz jacket is that it looks like the kind of pattern you'd expect a grandma to knit, but in that cut and on his back, it somehow manages to look badass. <img class="wp-image-2139 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27093110/Taylor-Swift-7.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="912" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] It's just a shame that his shoes appear to be zebra print. We think it would have been a real look if they'd had the same pattern as the jacket, but I suppose you can't get everything right! Monica Monica really did look like the Queen of Quirky at the 2019 VMAs. It takes wearing an eyecatching pattern to a different level and that beret really is the perfect accessory. <img class="wp-image-2140 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27093256/Taylor-Swift-8.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="912" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] This dress is by designer Libertine, and if we were a betting munch, we imagine other designers will be rushing to make recreations ASAP. Halsey Admittedly, this is one of those looks that definitely won't be for everyone. With her leather bra, corset and underwear, Halsey could easily be an extra in Moulin Rouge. <img class="wp-image-2141" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27093454/Taylor-Swift-9.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="752" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] But we think she pulls it off. After all, life would be so much less interesting if people didn't make bold fashion choices, and she's certainly got the body for it. Diplo This is a yee haw look if I ever saw one, and the only way I can imagine it came about would be when a designer and a cowboy somehow collided. <img class="wp-image-2142 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27093616/Taylor-Swift-10.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] There's a lot going on when you take a closer look at it too. At the bottom of the trousers, there are markings that look like atoms, and then there are the frogs and lightning bolts. Whatever floats your boat, we guess! But it ain't for us. Megan Thee Stallion Leather's one item that's always been associated with badasses - from tattooists to bikers, and if this outfit's anything to go by Megan Thee Stallion's in the running for 2019's hottest biker chick. <img class="wp-image-2143 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27093906/Taylor-Swift-11.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] Basically, this is the slightly more intimidating version of Taylor Swift's outfit and we are here for it. The detail in those boots is off the scale. Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban By now you've probably worked out that thigh-high boots are very much in this year, and unfortunately, compared to the pairs we've already seen, Lindsey Vonn's are a bit underwhelming. <img class="wp-image-2144 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27094406/Taylor-Swift-12.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] That being said her raven like sleeves are pretty awesome, and everything about P.K. Subban's outfit is a winner, especially his shoes. Gold buckles for the win. Alison Brie This outfit was described as the "Most Overeager" look by Cosmo and we have to agree. There's really not much to it other than giving Alison Brie a chance to show off her body. <img class="wp-image-2145 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27094513/Taylor-Swift-13.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] But hey! Maybe she thought the VMAs was the perfect time to show off a sexy Maleficent look. You do you, girl. P.S. Loving the thin-strapped shoes. Ava Max Sometimes when you achieve great things in life, you can feel like a superhero in your own right, and clearly, this was something Ava Max wanted to channel with her look at this year's VMAs. <img class="wp-image-2146 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27094652/Taylor-Swift-14.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] Sometimes, you just have to dress like a superhero. And it's safe to say that Ava Max nailed it. After all, we can't judge all outfits by the same standards and as far as the cosplay department is concerned, this is a winner. Lenny Kravitz When you find a style that suits you, it's tempting to stick with it forever, and this is something Lenny Kravitz has done. It's a safe bet that he'll always turn up in double denim with a gold something around his neck. <img class="wp-image-2147 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27094759/Taylor-Swift-15.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] His outfit went down a storm on social media too with user @KirstenValk tweeting: "Did Lenny Kravitz make a deal with the devil?...he looks amazing..." J Balvin The fashion world often takes inspiration from the world of books and movies, and you'd be a liar if you didn't say J Balvin's outfit didn't remind you of a certain Austin Powers' character... <img class="wp-image-2148 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27095056/Taylor-Swift-16.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] One Twitter user went as far as to compare J Balvin to Austin Powers' Dr. Evil. "Ok so we gonna just act like @JBALVIN doesn’t look like Dr. Evil," tweeted @mireyvmvkeup. Veronica Vega This is definitely an eye-catching look, but viewers of the VMAs pointed out that Veronica Vega's money dress had been done before and therefore was a fashion fail. <img class="wp-image-2150 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27095543/Taylor-Swift-18.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] "The money dress was done last year," Twitter user @starbsprincess wrote. "Where is the originality?! Even rainbow hair is boring to me now!" Bad Bunny This outfit makes absolutely no sense. What's with the mask? The glasses? But hey, when you're an artist, you can pretty much make your own fashion rules up - even if they make you look bizarre. <img class="wp-image-2149 size-full" src="http://d3ggtm419mtx92.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/27095301/Taylor-Swift-17.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="851" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]] It turns out that Bad Bunny's outfit did attract fans on social media though. "Dare I say it? The men are giving me the feels this red carpet," tweeted@TrevellAnderson, adding, "He coulda found some black shoes though." What did you think of the fashion at this year's VMAs?
