Get Taylor Swift's Looks From the 2012 MTV VMAs!
Taylor Swift wore not one but two fabulous outfits last night at the MTV VMAs! She started with an off-white J. Mendel suit and gold Tom Ford sandals, then later changed into a casual outfit during her performance. We love her red-carpet look as a fun alternative to a dress at a fancy party and her striped top and shorts ensemble for a laid-back but cute weekend look. Get a closer look at both outfits, then shop similar pieces for yourself.

MTV VMAs 2012: Who Wore What
The VMAs are famous for their shocking red-carpet looks, but this year was far more notable for achieving quite the opposite effect. To start, Rihanna hit all the right notes in a curve-hugging white gown, Miley Cyrus turned it out in a darker sheer-paneled Emilio Pucci number, and Katy Perry appealed to her softer side in an embellished Elie Saab dress. What's the common dressing denominator here? These stylishly daring starlets opted for more sophisticated gowns this time around. That's right: no provocative cutouts, prints, or slits to be found — at least, not provocative by rockstar standards. However, a seriously eye-catching jumpsuit has been spotted. With even more standout outfits from Emma Watson, Rashida Jones, and Taylor Swift on deck, be sure to check out our up-to-date guide to who wore what at the MTV VMAs now.
Rob Debuts New Twilight, Rihanna Wins Big — The Best of the 2012 MTV VMAs
Rihanna started tonight's MTV VMAs with a rowdy performance of her new song "Cockiness," and host Kevin Hart was on stage afterward to start the jokes coming. He verged into some potentially awkward territory when he tried to end the feud between Drake and Chris Brown, both of whom went on to win awards later. Kevin even leaped to Kristen Stewart's defense in his opening riff about mistakes. Katy Perry popped up to present the first award, best pop video, to One Direction. One Direction also later claimed best new artist. Robert Pattinson, meanwhile, joined his Twilight buddies Peter Facinelli, Taylor Lautner, and more to debut a new clip from their upcoming Breaking Dawn Part 2.
As for the performances, Miley Cyrus introduced Pink, who put on a boisterous show. Frank Ocean, welcomed by Zoe Saldana, had one of the night's most moving onstage appearances and was followed by Lil Wayne, One Direction, and Green Day. Alica Keys, who took in the fun alongside husband Swizz Beatz and their son Egypt, debuted her new song "Girl on Fire." Taylor Swift also wore her signature red to belt out "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." The final Moonman went to video of the year honoree Rihanna for "We Fell in Love." She made a triumphant speech after brushing some dirt off her shoulder — make sure to check out who wore what on the red carpet and the full list of 2012 MTV VMAs winners.
