If you’re planning to watch the MTV Movie & TV Awards tonight at 9:00 p.m. EDT, we’ve got a little preview. Though we don’t have the inside track on all the winners, what we do have might just be better — a look at all the red carpet action. The show was actually filmed over the weekend, so the stars already stepped out in their red carpet finest.
While there were several scene-stealing red carpet looks at this year’s show, they were pretty much upstaged by the elaborate hairdos. From an oversized sheer black bow to cornrows to a sky-high pony to bedazzled bobby pins, the ‘dos drew the focus upward. Eye makeup was also competing for attention with colorful eyeshadow and reimagined smoky eyes proving popular.
On the fashion front, red and black were trending. We also saw quite a few see-through looks, suits and blazer dresses (both long and short versions). And lots of stars opted to shine at the ceremony decked out in sequins, embellished footwear and statement earrings, usually in drop form.
For all the fashion and hair highlights from the awards, check out the slideshow above.
