Year after year, music’s most passionate fans tune in to the MuchMusic Video Awards, the most intimate and out-of-control awards show around where anything and everything goes. The 2011 MMVAs exceeded all expectations, with not one but two performances by priestess of pop Lady Gaga, five outfit changes by co-host Selena Gomez, a surprise tag-team appearance by Canada’s sweethearts Drake and Justin Bieber, and a slew of super-high-energy performances.

Backstage the performers, presenters and VIPs mingled. Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev told us that the first thing she does when she returns to Toronto, her hometown, is eat street meat, with “lots of ketchup.” Presenter Cassie Scerbo of Make It or Break It found herself star struck, but luckily, she had her mom in tow to keep her focused. Performers and Pop Video of the Year winners Down With Webster wandered the lounge in matching mechanics’ jumpsuits embellished with strips of LED lights, crediting the Beastie Boys as their sartorial inspiration.

The stars descended upon Toronto last night for the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards. The show is always one big blowout bash and this year’s show didn’t disappoint. Neither did the red carpet. From Avril Lavigne in signature black rocker gear to co-host Selena Gomez posing pretty in a cream ruffled mini dress, there was plenty of eye candy as far as the cameras could see. From all the fab red carpet looks, who was your favourite?

This Sunday, all eyes will be on the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards, the channel’s annual celebration of a year in music, videos and, of course, its stars! If the stellar lineup—including Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Avril Lavgine and Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev—is any indication, this year’s show is certain to kill it. While we’ll have to wait until the night of to see what the stars are wearing, we had a little something to do with what host Lauren Toyota will be donning. Toyota stopped by our offices earlier this week to play dress-up, enlisting the help of market editor Jordan Porter and while we’re mum’s the word about her final selection, join us in the closet to check out the session of dress up!

The 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards air on Sunday, June 19th at 9 P.M. EST
