These Fire BBMA Beauty Looks Are MAJOR #HotGirlSummer Inspo
When it comes to red carpet season, there are some award shows where celebs (understandably) play it safe and opt for elegance and classic Hollywood glamour. The Billboard Music Awards is not that kinda occasion, and TBH, it’s why we love it. Music’s biggest names gather for a night of frivolous fun, and daaaaamn do the glam squads come through. Instead of demure makeup looks, we see edgy, experimental liner, fierce glam, and edges laid to perfection. Looking for the receipts? Check out the hottest beauty looks from the night and the subsequent trends that have been signed, sealed, and delivered just in time for summer.
MAKEUP TREND: Graphic Liner
The graphic liner trend has been gaining traction for the past year. However, we’ve recently seen it graduate from the world of social media to the red carpet. And if anyone knows how to create a flawless liner look, it’s a celeb MUA. We’re drooling over everything from the precision to the stacked detailing to the vibrant pops of color. Need some help in the liner department? Check out our fail-safe eyeliner hacks before you try this look at home.

HAIR TREND: Baby Hairs
Baby hairs aren’t new to the red carpet; however, the Billboard Music Awards presented two contrasting ways to style your edges. First up, we have icon Alicia Keys, who placed a 2021 spin on the classic look – instead of being slicked down, her baby hairs maintain their natural body and volume – and we’re low-key obsessed. Then we have H.E.R, and her perfectly laid single swirl – it’s polished yet dripping in finesse.

HAIR TREND: 2000s Snatched Pony
The early 2000s have been trending for the past few months, and we’re living for this 2000s snatched pony on Gabrielle Union. It looks just as iconic as when she slayed the same style over 20 years ago in Bring It On.

MAKEUP TREND: Soft Glam
Another look that dominated the evening was a soft, bronzed glam. It’s sexy, smokey, and easy to achieve at home. Can we get an amen?! While it may be one of the “safer” trends, each celeb has put their own signature spin on the look. From Priyanka’s 90s brown lip to Cynthia’s extra-long lashes, take inspiration from these bombshells and add your own flavor to the classic vibe this summer. (We loved Priyanka’s sleek high gloss long ‘do!)

TREND: Thicc Liner
Back in January, we said that eyeliner would be THE makeup product of 2021, and so far, our prediction has been spot on. Alongside the graphic liner lewks, we also saw an exaggerated thiccc AF eyeliner on beauties like SZA and Saweetie… and we’re into it.

HAIR TREND: Mermaid Waves
Mermaid waves are set to be summer’s hottest hair trend, and Megan Fox definitely brought the heat last night. This look screams #HotGirlSummer, and it’s the exact energy we’re bringing this season.

MAKEUP TREND: Blinged Out Beauty
Last week, we called it: stick-on beauty is going to be HUGE this summer! Think stick-on diamontes, pearls and neon liner. We’re obsessed with this soft glam look on Karol G, accented with two diamontes.
