Lady Gaga VMA Hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler, MTV's Video Awards aired last night. And not surprisingly for a ceremony that celebrates music in a visual form, the fashion was as memorable as the artists who attended. Superstars like Eminem, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Florence and the Machine, Kanye West and Usher, all of whom took to the stage to perform their hit songs, are known for their risk-taking music, so it's no surprise that many were willing to experiment with their ensembles as well.

While listings for the celebrities with the most buzzed about outfits, including Lady Gaga and Rihanna (who paired a girly frock with combat boots), don't seem to have budged on eBay (at least not yet), sellers are now selling items related to the show itself, from promotional materials to CDs from previous awards shows. While one week ago, there were only two items on eBay with the phrase "video music awards" in the listing, when we last checked this morning, there were 119.

The Inside Source rounded up our favorite looks from the night and searched for options that will help you get the look.

10 Best Dressed at the MTV VMAs & How to Get the Look

Rihanna

Performer Rihanna took an unexpectedly soft approach in her dress choice, a pale pink ballerina style complete with tutu skirt. But don’t fret: She still kept the edge she’s been known with a sparkly headband worn wrapped around her head and black combat boots. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Florence Welch

UK group Florence and the Machine made its debut American performance at the show and even took home an award for Best Art Direction.
