2012 MTV Video Music Awards: Arrivals

All hail Nicki Minaj. The leader of the Barbz electrified on the red carpet in a curly neon-colored wig and lacy catsuit at Thursday’s VMAs. A short-haired Rihanna stunned in a white dress, Alicia Keys was elegant in a one-shoulder gown, Frank Ocean kept it casual in plaid shorts, Rita Ora sparkled in a custom Emilio Pucci bodysuit, and Tyga roared in red.
