2009 MTV VMAs Poll
MTV Video Music Awards: Madonna
Queen Madge isn't one to be off trend, and tonight was no exception. I love her pulled-back pouf — it reminds me of Catherine Deneuve's hair in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Unlike a lot of red carpet denizens, though, she kept her eyes sexy, with a classic Cleopatra line past the outer edges.
MTV Video Music Awards: Nelly Furtado
Come to think of it, we haven't seen a whole lot of updos this evening, so this slicked-back 'do on Nelly Furtado is rather refreshing. Ever since her breakthrough song "I'm Like a Bird" came out in 2000, I've had my eye on the exotic-looking singer. Perhaps you might recall her blonder than blond look from the 2007 VMAs that most of you were not digging?
MTV Video Music Awards: Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys always looks ineffably cool. Like so many other celebrities, she opted for a big, bold updo. Instead of the white eye shadow we've been seeing all over the red carpet tonight, though, she went for a flattering gunmetal-gray and silver combination that's less harsh than straight-out white.
MTV Video Music Awards: Lauren Conrad
Lauren may have retired from The Hills, but she's certainly still a presence on the red carpet. For the VMAs, she ditched her extensions and went with a 1930s-inspired style held back with a sweet hair clip. Her makeup was all whisper pinks, from eyes to cheeks and lips.
MTV Video Music Awards: Leighton Meester
Of the young Hollywood crowd, I've always thought of Leighton Meester as one of the more sophisticated of the bunch. Perhaps it's because she usually stuns with a grown-up wardrobe and sexy makeup palette that's not too over-the-top. But tonight, has the lovely Leighton gone a bit more Dynasty with her big hair and lots of liner?
MTV Video Music Awards: Beyoncé
So it's not the best photo of Beyoncé (she sort of looks like a wax figure — have you played our game?), but we're not talking about her deer-in-headlights stare, we're talking about her beauty choices. She wore her hair long and curly with noticeable regrowth (is it a trend?) next to super-huge hoop earrings. Her voluminous hair really took center stage, while her makeup was noticeably soft: dewy skin, arched brows, pink lips — nothing shocking there.
MTV Video Music Awards: Cassie
Back in July, we saw Cassie with etches on the shaved side of this disconnected haircut, but tonight she's keeping that side soft and smooth, letting the longer part stand out with a little curl and some rolled texture. While it might seem like she doesn't have a whole lot of options with this distinctive cut, as evidenced by tonight's look, she most certainly does. Someone give kudos to Cassie's stylist for creating two looks in one.
MTV Video Music Awards: Jennifer Lopez
The divine Ms. Lopez took a night off from caring for twin bebehs Max and Emme to shine her divalicious light on the VMAs. And I do mean shine — she was glowing all the way down the red carpet.
MTV Video Music Awards: Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift chose a soft and romantic look for tonight's MTV Video Music Awards. Her hair looks like what you'd expect to see on a bride on her wedding day. Yes, it might be a little too formal for this occasion, but given her age and her innocence, I think it works well on Taylor.
MTV Video Music Awards: Amanda Bynes
I'm so used to seeing Amanda as the girl next door that this sultry look was a real shocker. Between the dramatic eyelashes, white eye shadow, and the distinctly puffed pout, I didn't recognize her at first. Her big, perfect curls are a red carpet staple no matter what look she's rocking, but I'm wondering — are you ready to see Amanda as a va-va-voom sexpot, or do you want her to stick to her usual America's sweetheart look?
