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.

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.

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.
