Dresses weren’t the only thing that made headlines at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas yesterday. The hairstyles of Alicia Keys, Brandy Norwood, Zooey Deschanel, and Miley Cyrus also received some spotlight at the white carpet event. Check out whose hairdo received great feedback and the ones that failed to impress.

First up is Alicia Keys, who performed with Stevie Wonder at the event. She wore a long-sleeved Azzedine Alaïa haute couture gown with dark magenta patterns, Brian Atwood heels, Jennifer Fisher rings and Repossi rosegold and diamond earrings. Although the dress was a good choice for Keys, her hair good the most compliments as the thick braid woven around her head was definitely head-turning.

Brandy Norwood was dressed in a Herve Leger by Max Azria mini dress (from the Spring 2012 collection), which featured a plunging neckline and metallic design. She paired this up with gold Christian Louboutin “Lady Peep” platform sandals, a metallic leopard clutch box and moonstone rings, bangles and rosegold earrings. Brandy finished off with bold blue eyeshadow, but we just love that she added drama to her mini dress with those voluminous curls.

Zooey Deschanel looked like her usual adorable self in a sleeveless silver-embellished Moschino cocktail dress (from the Fall 2012 collection) and a pair of her handy black tights. She finished off with open toe Miu Miu pumps and accessorized with horn-shaped drop earrings. The only thing that excited us with Zooey’s attire was the retro ponytail with blunt bangs that she wore to the event.

We don’t know where to start with Miley Cryus’ ensemble. She turned a white double-breasted blazer from Jean Paul Gautlier’s Spring 2012 collection into a mini dress, then finished off with Christian Louboutin “Armadillo Bride ” sandals, Jacquie Aiche jewelry and a nose ring. Then the hair… Miley teased her dark blonde hair into a 60s-inspired ‘do, which we think failed to inspire and made her look older than she is.
