Futuristic Duo

Dressed in a futuristic, Mrs. Jetson-inspired purple bodysuit with pink hair, Nicki Minaj set the tone for the MTV Video Music Awards with her performance of "Your Love" on the white carpet preshow. Not to be outdone, Will.i.am joined Minaj onstage in a black leather bodysuit with pink highlights to sing their duet "Check It Out." The dance moves and smoke machines added to the effect, but we can't help but wonder how hot the Black-Eyed Peas frontman was in that outfit!
