Hit me baby one more time: denim deja vu has rocked the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet.

Katy Perry pulled a Britney and wore a strapless, flowing denim dress with denim-clad rapper Riff Raff on her arm a la Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards.

Sizzling in tomato red, Demi Lovato and Rita Ora were among the best dressed celebrities on the Los Angeles red carpet.

Lovato did cleavage well with a generous v-neck off-set by long sleeves. Nonchalant side-swept hair and minimal accessories kept Lovato's look youthful.

Ora opted for thin-strapped flowing gown with an eye catching thigh-high slit.

In the battle of the silvers, rapper Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Lopez both choose floor-length gowns in the metallic but the Australian wore the look best.

Azalea gleamed in a gladiator-esque strapless silver gown with slicked back blonde locks.

The thigh-high split in Lopez's sparkling dress would have been fine on its own but was overpowered by too many cut-outs through the rest of the frock, making it look too busy.

Miley Cyrus rocked an all leather look with a bandeau top and high-waisted pants combination, finished perfectly with her trendy blonde crop.

American model Amber Rose got some bad intel and must have thought it was showgirl fancy dress, wearing a dress made of chains and little else.

Turquoise suited Taylor Swift but that was all to like about her lace playsuit ensemble that barely covered her rear.

Kim Kardashian showed off her assets in folksy Balmain 2015 Resort Collection piece.

Kendall Jenner wore black trousers with a black bra and sheer black top, Gwen Stefani sported a hot pink and black top and pants ensemble and Nicki Minaj wore animal print well, shimmering in her long-sleeved dress.
