Classic and bold styles appeared

Some attendees chose traditional glam looks including Sienna Spiro's teased beehive hairstyle. Other performers opted for dark and moody makeup while Slayyyter wore beach waves with Dave Grohl. Several stars stepped outside their typical beauty routines to try new colors or cuts.

Specific standout moments included

Sombr applied smudgy black eyeliner during the event proceedings. Off Campus actor Ella Bright debuted a much darker hair color on the carpet. Teyana Taylor wore space buns while PinkPantheress presented a boho hair moment with transition blush.

Fall inspiration emerged from looks

The variety of styles provided plenty of fodder for fall beauty inspiration among fans. Every attendee on the carpet was considered a winner regardless of award results. The night served as music's flashiest event with many notable appearances.
