These Beauty Looks From the 2019 VMAs Are a Whole Mood
The VMAs are here, and we're so ready. After what's felt like an especially excellent year for music, with releases from artists like Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion and Taylor Swift, it's no surprise that the stars who brought us the biggest hits are now breaking the internet with the best beauty looks they've shown us all year.
Just as we expected, we saw some amazing looks at this year's show. The red carpet trends ranged from natural face beats to Euphoria-inspired glittery eyes and even a full-on 1960s bouffant. Keep scrolling to see the celeb looks we'll be talking about until the next red carpet.
The songstress sported her foolproof signature look: beach waves and a red lip.
The original Hot Girl is giving us sleek, pressed hair and lashes for days.
Lizzo's updated beehive is the stuff of hair dreams. Wonder if this 'do would stay intact through a lit flute solo?
Klum makes a case for a wispy fringe, and we approve.
This look is giving us the "Motivation" to try out a deep side parting and a swooping fringe this autumn.
It wouldn't be a red carpet without a wet-hair look, and this veteran supermodel makes it look too easy.
We can always count on Hadid for a solid half-up, half-down look, but the remains of her summer blonde add an extra layer of fun.
Skin is in, and Rosalía's flawless complexion is proof.
Leave it to the goddess H.E.R. to rock the most stunning goddess braids. And to round out the other-worldly glow, the highlight to end all highlights.
Hadid's aesthetic tonight? All gold everything—from her flowy locks right down to her shimmery eye shadow.
If Marilyn Monroe were to attend the VMAs, this would be her exact look.
The former Missy Elliott backup dancer rocked an ultra-low pixie-crop haircut and mile-long lashes.
This lady in red took her colour palette very seriously, extending it from her hair, to her eyeshadow, to her crimson lined lips.
Cabello channeled ethereal beauty and embraced her natural curl on the red carpet for an absolutely angelic look.
Halsey's creativity is literally seeping from her roots. Check out that rainbow dye job. The soft waves are a win, too.
A classic barrel curl is always a good idea.
Next up, the MTV Video Music Awards looks everyone is talking about.
