''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.) A-

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. B-

Jennifer Hudson certainly knows how to dress her sexy, svelte body, I'd just wish she'd learn how to dress her age. This houndstooth top and leather skirt combo is a little too cougar-ific, am I right? B

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. A-

When I look at the British boy band, I imagine their stylist hands them each a pair of black skinny jeans (which she buys in bulk) and then lets each one pick what to wear on top. Their collective look ranks a ''Meh'' on my fashion scale, but I'm awarding them additional points because I'm terrified of their fans. A

Dressing like he just raided Gianni Versace's closet is the rapper's style m.o. But wearing the same pants as VMA red carpet co-host Grimes was the ultimate fashion faux pas. C

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! C
