The best beauty looks from the 2019 MTV VMAs red carpet

Taylor Swift looked ultra-glam with tousled waves and her fave winged eyeliner/red lip combo but hey, as the saying goes: if it ain’t broke, why fix it? This combination works so well for Taylor and we applaud her for workin’ it!

Singer/songwriter and former Disney Channel star Keke Palmer looked like a total superstar in this smouldering green and black smoky eye situation, teaming it with a super-slick ballerina bun.

Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson came through with this stunning cotton candy eye look proving that pink eyeshadow is DEFINITELY still having a moment this year. Meanwhile, her platinum waves are giving us total Marilyn Monroe vibes.

Bella Hadid looked pretty as a picture in this bouncy, playful ‘70s-inspired ponytail. As for her makeup, she’s gone for neutral tones and a slick of sharp black winged liner. Gorg!

Singer/songwriter Quin stunned on the red-carpet with this gorgeous beauty look and we’re not sure which part we love most. From the curls artfully arranged on her forehead to the adorable freckles peeping through her sheer foundation, we love it all.

Sweet but Psycho singer Ava Max’s look is a mashup of throwback influences and futuristic vibes all at once and we’re completely into it. Her retro eye look is giving us some serious nostalgia for the ‘60s, meanwhile her asymmetrical, dual-textured hair has us pondering whether this is a future beauty trend to come.

Gigi Hadid looked like a total bohemian dream with her long hair worn in loose, undone waves pushed back from her face. Like her sister Bella, she’s opted for neutral makeup tones save for some sparkly gold pigment on her eyelids.

Singer FKA Twigs surprised us all when she stepped out with copper hair recently and it seems like the bold hue is still going strong. We love that she’s matched her eyeshadow to her hair, and her quirky ‘90s-inspired lip look brings the rust-toned vibe together very nicely.

Without Me singer Halsey has been rocking rainbow-accented hair for a couple of weeks, but now she’s debuted an expected new take on the trend. Swapping out her rainbow bangs for a rainbow centre-part, her roots give the illusion that her natural hair is growing out in rainbow tones. We love!

Okay, so Miley Cyrus technically wasn’t spotted on the *red carpet*, but she was in attendance performing her new single Slide Away on stage, and as usual we couldn’t get enough of her beauty look. Her wet-look curls are kinda reminding us of Kim Kardashian’s dripping beauty look at the 2019 Met Gala. We’re also enjoying her shimmery, silver eye situation.

We can’t get past Alison Brie’s eyes in this stunning taupe smoky eye look – so simple, yet so effective! Her hair is also looking super-pretty in feminine waves with the top section pulled back.
