The red carpet rocked as the biggest names in music entered the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. Katy Perry looked glamorous in a retro art-deco dress and wearing, for once, a very classic hair color, black, styled into long Old-Hollywood waves. Taylor Swift and Rihanna both chose to wear all white and dramatic red lips. Miley Cyrus looked pretty punky in a sexy black dress with her new blonde haircut styled into a sky-high pompadour. And of course, Nicki Minaj flaunted her signature out-there style in a black lace body suit and billowing neon hair topped with a black leather motorcycle hat. Other red carpet sightings: One Direction, Alicia Keys, Green Day, Pink.
