The 90s Called (On a Landline) and Want Its Beauty Looks Back After Last Night’s VMAs

31/08/2020 - 09:10 PM

The 2020 MTV VMAs did not disappoint in any way, shape, or form. Between the performances, the star-studded hosts, and the amazing red carpet looks that came out of Sunday night's show, you could almost forget it took place amid a pandemic (if not for the presence of face masks [1]).

While there was no official theme for the show, a handful of guests in attendance seemed to pull inspiration for their beauty looks [2] from one decade: the 90s. Keke Palmer wore her hair in a slicked-back french roll updo [3] with face-framing tendrils, while Bebe Rexha went with a metallic french tip manicure. And don't even get us started on Ariana Grande [4]'s Baby Spice pigtail moment. Iconic — all of it.

Ahead, we're rounding up all of the best '90s inspired beauty looks from the 2020 VMAs.

Keke Palmer

Keke Palmer had multiple show-stopping beauty looks throughout the night, but her opening ensemble was it for us. She wore her hair in a slicked-back french roll updo with face-framing tendrils. (To show off her choker, can you even get more 90s?)

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande [5] hit the stage to perform "Rain on Me" with Lady Gaga [6] in bold graphic eyeliner and shimmery eye shadow, but perhaps our favourite part of her entire look was her Baby Spice-inspired high pigtails.

Bella Hadid

As one of the presenters, Bella Hadid came out in a minimalist yet edgy beauty look that had '90s written all over it [7]. Between her piece-y, messy bun with face-framing bangs, thick black eyeliner, and glowing neutral makeup, she looked like she belonged in the decade.

Bebe Rexha

Bebe Rexha went with an effortlessly cool '90s ponytail with a blunt side-bang to match her edgy outfit for the 2020 VMAs. To top it all off, she had an extra-long metallic french tip manicure and dramatic cat-eye.
