Jewelry Trends on the 2009 MTV VMA Red Carpet

It's unfortunate that this year's MTV Video Music Awards will be remembered by the scene Kanye West created when he rushed onto the stage and grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift's hands before she could give her acceptance speech for Best Female Video, ranting that Beyonce should have won.

Had he remained in his seat (handcuffs could be a good look for the next awards ceremony he attends) Kanye would have heard the announcement for Beyonce's Video of the Year award, where the class-act star shared the stage with Swift, giving her the speech-time that Kanye took away.

Bling-bling earrings were the primary jewelry theme of the night, not unusual for an MTV awards show, but simple pendants and other necklaces were popular, too. The award for most unusual attire probably goes to Lady Gaga

Large pendant and chandelier earrings are a "trademark" of sorts for Kate when she appears at celebrity events -- not surprising since those styles are a good match for the pulled-back hairstyles she often wears on formal occasions.
