09 MTV音乐录影带大奖女星红毯PK秀
The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards Red Carpet greeted us with a wave of style, as the glitterati1 of musical and celebrity world gathered for an eye-popping display of entertainment couture.
Leighton Meester, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Kristin Cavallari all wowed the paparazzi2 in glittering get-ups, while Madonna, Alicia Keys and Olivia Palermo chose simple black dresses.
Lady Gaga staged a one-woman revival of Phantom of the Opera3 by wearing a gold mask across the left side of her face. She wore a black lace Jean Paul Gaultier dress, which she paired with a feathered neck brace by a London-based designer.
2009 年MTV 音乐录影带大奖红毯以时尚浪潮向我们问候，音乐界的名士和明星齐聚一堂，参与这场夺人眼球的名人时装展。
莱顿·梅斯特、凯蒂·佩里、泰勒·斯威夫特和克里斯汀·卡瓦拉瑞都身着闪亮的礼服，令狗仔队们惊叹，而麦当娜、艾丽西娅·凯斯和奥利维亚·巴勒莫则都选择了简洁的黑色礼服。嘎嘎女士戴着一个金色面具，遮住了她的左半边脸，《歌剧魅影》在她一个人的主宰下实现了复兴。她穿着一件让·保罗·高提耶黑色蕾丝礼服，还搭配了一个由伦敦设计师设计的羽毛颈圈。
Meanwhile, in an unfortunate red carpet faux pas, Pink and Shakira both showed up in the same Balmain dress.
与此同时，红毯上出现了一个不幸的窘境，粉红佳人和夏奇拉穿着相同的巴尔曼礼服现身。
Beyoncé vs. Jennifer
Lopez Short is the name of the game, judging from the red carpet looks of Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez. Both divas went for thigh-high dresses to show off their gams4, with strategically cut out neck and shoulder detail, but where Beyoncé opted to stand out in fire engine red, J. Lo went for soft and satiny earth tones.
碧昂丝vs. 珍妮弗·洛佩兹
从碧昂丝和珍妮弗·洛佩兹的红毯着装来看，“短”是这次娱乐盛典的主题。这两位女歌手都选择及大腿的裙子来露出她们的美腿，策略性地减去领口，并注重肩膀的细节设计，但碧昂丝选择穿消防车红色从中脱颖而出，而珍妮弗·洛佩兹选择了柔和的有缎子般光泽的褐土色。
Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry opted for bedazzled5 dresses in very different styles. Taylor went for a more old Hollywood, glamorous Grecian style that exposed her back and statuesque6 figure, while Katy rocked a shorter, spunkier look that exposed a little of everything.
泰勒·斯威夫特vs. 凯蒂·佩里
泰勒·斯威夫特和凯蒂·佩里选择了两种样式完全不同的极为诱人的礼服。泰勒选择了一款能够展现她修长身材的传统好莱坞式、迷人的古希腊风格的露背礼服，而凯蒂则穿着一件更短的、更有活力的礼服，每个地方都露了一点。
