Taylor Swift arrived at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards with a newly cut, one-length hairstyle and extra-thick bangs, paired with a layered eye look: a black wing on top, a bronzy-brown wing on the bottom, and white liner with shimmer in the inner corners, according to Allure.
Charli XCX also departed from her usual look. She typically wears extra-long, air-dried waves with smoky eyes, but the VMAs saw her swap in a different hair texture while keeping her long black hair and signature smoky eye intact.
