How-To: Get Ashley Greene's Big, Glam VMAs Hair
Ashley Greene's bouffant hair, which was styled by Danilo, was one of the best high-volume looks in a night that was replete with big hair and Bumpits. Ashley was obviously rocking the extensions, but this look is surprisingly easy to get with natural hair, too. To find out some tips on replicating her VMAs style, keep reading
How-To: Kristen Stewart's Faux Bowl Cut at the 2009 VMAs
It's pretty safe to say that last night's 2009 MTV VMAs were one of the most entertaining in recent history. You had your Kanye outburst, Pink's Cirque du Soleil-style act, Lady Gaga's bloody performance, and cast members from Twilight taking the stage to premiere the New Moon trailer. (And in case you didn't hear the buzz, it was also a night for Kristen Stewart to cozy up with costar Robert Pattinson backstage.) At first, it looked like Kristen had chopped her Joan Jett-esque locks, but alas, it was just the mastery of Pantetne celebrity stylist Hallie Bowman, who created this edgy, faux-bowl-cut style with a modern feel.
Trend Alert: White Eye Shadow at the VMAs
You would have thought it was still pre-Labor Day with the way celebrities were wearing white eye shadow on the red carpet. Ladies from The Hills, from The City, and from just plain ol' Hollywood were all about the white out, whether, like Beyonce, they kept it subtle along their upper lids or, like Lauren Conrad, had major white shadow along the inner eyes and lots of black eyeliner along the outer. We already know that white nail polish is a major trend of the moment, so perhaps white eye shadows will also be hot this season.
MTV Video Music Awards: Red Carpet Roundup!
Fall Awards Season has officially begun. We have back-to-back weekends of award show madness coming at you, starting with the always fun MTV VMAs! We were there to catch all the red carpet fashion and beauty.
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.
