Events: The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards – Red Carpet Arrivals

Beyonce is definitely a class act. She more than proved that last night at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when she did her best to salvage Taylor Swift‘s winning moment from the grips of an evil, bitter Kanye West.

Her outer looked as good as her inner when she strutted down the red carpet in her tomato-colored mini dress.

Others attending the show included Katy Perry, Pink and Shakira (who both wore the same dress!), Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Fall Out Boy and many more.
