"This is the MTV Video Music Awards," said Ne-Yo at the Los Angeles ceremony. "You don't have to stuff it up if you don't want to here. You know what I mean?"
"This is a Versace piece," said rapper 2 Chainz. "The pants are Versace wax gold pants, Versace. Love for Versace belt. Givenchy hat, with a Givenchy pendant. It's basically, it's my vintage meets, meets, meets, my vintage swag meets VMA."
Korean rapper Psy chose a black-and-green striped tuxedo jacket, black bowtie and black-and-white two-toned shoes.
"I want to dress classy because that's why I can dance cheesy," joked Psy.
Alicia Keys sported a new look with a short bob haircut and a one-shoulder metallic gown.
"Well, this is Alexander Vauthier who I love very, very much," said Keys. "Whenever I put on something of his, I feel really effortless and easy, but still elegant and beautiful. So I love his style. My hair. I am in love with my hair. I love it short. I have always wanted to do it. I have been wanting to do it for a couple of years and just now has felt like the right time. It is a new time for me, a new day for me, so everything is new, including no hair."
Pop star Miley Cyrus got a lot of attention for her new short hairdo. Why was everyone making such a fuss about it? "Because they are too scared to cut their hair off," replied Cyrus. "I am giving face, people. Giving face. That's all I want to do is to give this."
Cyrus wore a black gown with a plunging neckline and sheer sleeves from the house of Emilio Pucci.
"This is the only dress I tried on," she said. "I'm like, really like to get it done when I am in my fittings, because I don't like trying on a million things. I just saw this on the rack and it's Pucci, so obviously it is going to be amazing, and when I put it on, it felt really me and felt really good."
Pink rocked a one-of-a-kind metallic dress with long sleeves and a short, spikey silver mohawk hairdo.
"This is one-of-a-kind Stella McCartney," said Pink. "Thank you very much. And I got some spikes in here. I like weapons."
