VMAs continues to impress us with its red carpet appearances which are full of bold and gorgeous beauty looks that need a certain level of confidence to pull off.
Like every year, this 2022 edition of the Video and Music Awards managed to surprise us with its beauty looks and the sheer boldness embedded in them. Goth was the predominant theme running across celebrities and gender just like the colour black. Even though there were a lot of happy surprises as a first for different awards, the bold beauty looks which filled the red carpet stole the show for us.
Every year, we look forward to a red carpet full of bold, experimental beauty looks, and 2022 is no different. We’re tuned in for the glam, the glitz, and everything in-between. Celebrities brought bold, and trend-setting beauty looks to the red-carpet with hairstylists, makeup artists, and nail techs on hand to get eye-catchingly creative.
With nominees, performers, and presenters like LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj and Jack Harlow, we’ve been looking forward to this night since it was announced. They’ve never let us down before, and they definitely didn’t do it during this 39th annual ceremony from the VMAs.
In case you didn’t catch every single jaw-dropping moment, we’ve rounded up the best beauty looks spotted on the red carpet – complete with all the details, of course. Ahead, check out our favourite beauty looks of the 2022 MTV VMAs.
Avril Lavigne
Singer Avril Lavigne shined on the red carpet wearing Versace cargo pants, corset top and combat boots. The look was elevated with the usual black smokey eye with some colourful rhinestones on the outer and inner corners of her eye. Her eye-catching look was matched with pops of colour to her middle lower lash line.
Lisa
Singer Lisa always shines on the red carpet with glamorous looks. This time, Lisa did it once again! She matched her monochromatic look with classic makeup, which featured winged eyeliner and a pink pout.
Taylor Swift
She definitely hit on the red carpet with her stunning bejewelled Oscar de la Renta gown. But, her beauty look also made her stand out from the rest. For the red carpet, she wore her signature black eyeliner with some iridescent silver rhinestones and shimmery eye shadow. She also wore a perfect red lip.
Lil Nas X
Rapper Singer Lil Nas X brought all the glamour and the extravaganza on the red carpet thanks to his otherworldly all-black ensemble he chose for the occasion. However, he also stood out from the rest with his beauty look. For the ceremony, he brought double-winged eyeliner with elongated green eyeliner, which extended out from his lower lash line.
Lizzo
Aside from her incredible and dramatic Jean Paul Gaultier gown, singer Lizzo was keen on wearing a monochromatic beauty look during the ceremony. She wore navy lipstick and kept her hair slicked back to show off her flawless complexion.
Dove Cameron
Dove always gives us too much to talk about her beauty looks and makeup, which are usually an inspiration for the younger generation. For the occasion, Cameron channelled a braided pigtail and fair complexion. She also wore a smoked-out cat eye while adding some white eyeliner to the waterline and wing to create some kind of dimension.
