Celebrities at the 2012 VMAs
While Democrats were waiting to be addressed by President Barack Obama in Charlotte, N.C. at the Democratic National Convention, a bevy of celebs and fans were in Los Angeles for the 2012 Video Music Awards. Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Alicia Keys were just a few stars who made their way to the Staples Center for the Kevin Hart hosted awards show.
Rihanna was stunning as usual, this time with a new cropped coif and matte red lips, while Nicki Minaj resembled a futuristic taxi driver in a studded cat suit with an oversized cap to match. Another fashion faux pas was committed by Roc Nation songstress Rita Ora whose embellished see-through outfit hung unflatteringly off her body. Not pictured during red carpet arrivals were Chris Brown and Drake who avoided one another after their infamous Whip nightclub brawl. Brown showed off his blonde and blue hair and looked smart in a suit, while Drizzy Drake looked far too casual in a gray long-sleeved shirt.
