The 13 Most Fire Beauty Looks From the MTV Movie & TV Awards Red Carpet

The MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet is where we look for fresh, daring, youthful beauty looks (as opposed to the classic makeup and hair we see at the Oscars or the chic, avant-garde stuff we expect from the Met Gala). This year, models, actors, and recording artists stepped out onto the carpet in fun, sometimes experimental summer looks we can't wait to try ourselves. We saw a lot of vibrant, one-tone eye shadow (think greens, purples, and magentas), as well as slick hairstyles and breezy bobs. All in all, the 2019 MTV Awards red carpet screamed bold and colorful but also super simple—and we are all about that.

There were 13 looks, in particular, that really caught our eye—unique, beautifully executed hair and makeup on celebs like Kiernan Shipka, Lana Condor, Jada Pinkett Smith, and more. Keep scrolling for our MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet faves.

Model Barbie Ferreira's thicc magenta cat eye and slick bob are so perfectly on trend for summer 2019.

Men in Black: International star Tessa Thompson basically won 2019 with her bold purple eye shadow and imposing hair rolls, accompanied by a waterfall of fluffy, natural curls. We are not worthy.

Okay, Kiernan! Loving the darker auburn hair color and sleek winged liner on our favorite teenage witch.

Long, separated lashes; a mauve lip; and long, sleek, middle-parted lengths make actress Lana Condor an actual queen. And those dangly charm earrings? Obsessed.

Five Feet Apart star Haley Lu Richardson has such an effortless beauty aesthetic. We love the pairing of an easy, tousled ponytail and an unexpected gray-green smoky eye. 

Excuse me, Cher? Is that you? We never tire of a '70s-inspired red carpet look, so we're all over The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil's mile-long, teased hair and mermaid-green shimmery eye. 

A simple cat eye and super-short platinum crop make Jada Pinkett Smith look like a futuristic badass. Can you believe this heavenly being is 47 years old? Goals.

Twenty-one-year-old Assassination Nation actress Maude Apatow is looking very grown-up (and a little vampire-chic) with dark eye makeup and a red lip against her fair complexion.

Truly inspired by model Hunter Schafer's geometric teal eye shadow and elfin hairstyle. Huge creativity points here.

Aubrey Plaza opted for a more traditional smoky eye and pinky-nude lip paired with a fresh, youthful ponytail—and we're not mad at it.

The subtle white eyeliner in TV actress Madeleine Arthur's waterline makes her already-huge, gorgeous eyes look even bigger and brighter. 

A Wrinkle in Time star Storm Reid looks just about ready to take over the world in this androgynous look: bold braids and minimal makeup paired with her stunning embroidered suit.

A soft silver eye, pink lip, and loose waves juxtapose with Elisabeth Moss's terrifying Handmaid's Tale aesthetic.
