Edgy Chic
Taylor Swift knows how to make an entrance: She showed up to the VMAs with her #squad -- complete with Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss -- in tow. She also slayed the red carpet with a fierce, graphic cat eye.

Sleek Surprise
Further proof that wet-look hair can be worn off the runway: Demi Lovato's sexy style. Glowing skin and pink lips make it soft and pretty, and bold lashes keep it edgy.

Nicki Minaj looked fierce as ever with sleek, straight hair, blunt bangs and a graphic cat eye.

Braided Beauty
Talk about Pinterest-worthy hair. Chrissy Teigen's intricate braided style is inspiring us to brush up on our braiding skills asap.

Her gorgeous golden glow was courtesy of makeup artist Mary Phillips, who used multiple shades of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation to balance her skin tone, then used a combination of Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer in #12, #10 and #7 to create a customized, luminous bronze look.

Not-So-Basic Ponytail
What's better than a sleek, high ponytail? Rita Ora's take on the look with strands that twist back to create an intricate, pretty look that paired perfectly with her smoky eye makeup.

Stylist Chris Appleton created six interconnected ponytails, and used Matrix StyleLink Style Fixer to make sure her look stayed smooth, sleek and in place all night long.

Makeup artist Kathy Jeung for Rimmel and Urban Decay used Urban Decay's Naked Smoky Palette to create the singer's show-stopping smoky winged eye makeup. She used shade Combust over Ora's entire lid and up to her brow bone, and then worked Black Magic intro the crease and into a winged shape.

It's finally time: The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. The VMAs are famous for some of the most controversial musical performances (who could forget Miley Cyrus at the 2013 VMAs or Britney Spears' legendary performance with a giant snake) -- and some of the most daring fashion and beauty moments, like Lady Gaga's meat dress. What amazing beauty looks did the 2015 VMAs bring? We've gathered out favorites here.
