Miley Cyrus's VMAs Ponytail Has Many Unexpected Twists

While most could not look away from Miley Cyrus's cleavage at the 2015 MTV VMAs, us beauty girls could not stop obsessing over her fierce ponytail. The award show host is known for setting trends — like those pigtail buns from 2013 — and we wouldn't be surprised if this year's look inspires a new slew of copycats and Halloween costumes.

Let's break down her badass beauty style: From the front, Miley made her features pop with electric-blue eyeliner and popsicle-red lipstick, ignoring the age-old rule that you can't play up both your eyes and lips with bold colors. But her ponytail of blond dreadlocks stole the spotlight. She pulled it all on top of her head, fastening everything with a bejeweled crown with stones dripping into the tail. The faux hair extended down to her almost-bare butt. You have to admit, the girl has chutzpah! Keep reading to see more photos of her red carpet style.
