Red Carpet Pictures From MTV VMAs 2012

The red carpet at this evening's MTV VMAs was full of stylish musical stars. White was a theme for a few of the ladies, with Taylor Swift donning a J. Mendel pantsuit and Rihanna picking a simple gown to keep the focus on her new haircut. Katy Perry went colorful, as usual, in an Elie Saab creation. Emma Watson also picked up on the bright tones, wearing a mixed print combo from Peter Pilotto. Miley Cyrus had a new take on a black dress in Emilio Pucci, while Zoe Saldana looked gorgeous in a light mini from Salvatore Ferragamo. There were plenty more girls posing before the main event took place — click through to see Alicia Keys, Rita Ora, Gabby Douglas, and more!
