The 2009 Video Music Awards were truly an unique event from Kanye West’s outburst to a Michael Jackson tribute sure to go down in history. The Red Carpet was nothing short of interesting from Lady Gaga in Gaultier to Pink and Shakira sporting the same dress.

One lady who stood out from the masses was the always lovely and original Katy Perry who capitalized on the big trends of the night: metallics and minidresses. Perry rocked an amazing one-of-a-kind piece from Philippe and David Blond of The Blonds. The piece was rhodium-plated and made of silver mesh chains, though a far cry from the traditional notions of armor. Crystals adorned the dress and helped Perry to shine like the star that she is.

Philippe and David also made Perry’s performance piece which was an ode to Frankie Mercury and crowned Perry as one of the best-dressed of the night. The Blonds have dressed like-minded fashionistas such as Rihanna and Beyonce and we cannot wait to see what other designs they have up their sleeves.
