Every Stunning Beauty Look From the 2024 VMAs

Of all the celebrity red carpet events to swoon over, the MTV Video Music Awards are probably my all-time favorite. Why? At the VMAs, stars do not play it safe. Allow me to remind you of Lady Gaga’s raw meat dress (and matching hairpiece) from 2010; Miley Cyrus’s naked suspender look in 2015; and Saweetie’s Flintstones-inspired ensemble from just last year. The sartorial drama is a feast for the eyes—and it is delicious.

Outfits may take the main stage when it comes to wow-worthy, must-text-my-group-chat moments, but celebrities are just as gutsy with their beauty looks. You can expect far bolder choices than classic Hollywood glamour. Consider Lizzo’s smoky-blue lipstick and faux lip ring she wore in 2022 or Rita Ora’s leaf-adorned twisted buns from the year before. Beauty is what makes the whole aesthetic sing, and this year’s attendees did not disappoint in the hair, makeup, and nail departments. My jaw hasn’t left the floor since the arrivals began, so I’m sharing my favorite beats below (and watch this space, as I’ll be updating them in real time).

Get ready to screenshot—these VMAs beauty looks are literal works of art.

Tinashe’s blush placement is so strategic. Right at the temples, the pop of pink helps accentuate her fluttery lashes and gorgeous almond eyes.

I’m obsessed with Paris Hilton’s frosted glam. With her long, damp waves, she expertly toes the line between ice princess and sea siren.

GloRilla’s sculptural braids and curved, coffin-shaped nails are the epitome of cool.

Taylor Swift understood the “soft goth” assignment. Her smoky eyes paired with velvet-matte skin are a grungy-glam dream.
