When it comes to award shows, the MTV Movie & TV Awards always seems to have one of the year’s most playful red carpets. And that was certainly the case last night when a handful of our favorite stars gathered in Hollywood to honor the fan-favorite film and TV series of this past year.
The ceremony was hosted by SNL alum Leslie Jones who delivered a hilarious WandaVision parody and an equally funny opening monologue. On-screen favorites took home the golden popcorn including the late Chadwick Boseman for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Rege-Jean Page for Bridgerton, and Elizabeth Olsen for WandaVison.
Awards aside, we couldn’t help but be mesmerized by all the show-stopping hairstyles that made an appearance. From textured waves to bold statement braids and elegant updos, stars and their glam teams welcomed the opportunity to dazzle us all with their red carpet hair.
Here, see all the best hair looks from the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore looked super regal with her low twisted bun styled by hairstylist Ashley Streicher. Speaking on the inspiration for Moore’s hair, Streicher shared, “To play off of Mandy’s unique marigold yellow, draped textured dress, I wanted to give her an elevated look a sleek, modern chignon that showed off her beautiful face.”
To create Moore’s bun, the hairstylist prepped the star’s hair with Garnier Fructis products, brushing through with an Olivia Garden EcoHair Eco-Friendly Bamboo Detangler. She then blew out the hair with Olivia Garden EcoHair Eco-Friendly Bamboo Paddle Brush. Next, she created a center part using Olivia Garden CarboSilk Comb, using the Olivia Garden Ceramic +Ion Flat Iron to keep flyaways down. Aftering gathering the hair in a bun, Streicher used the Olivia Garden Style-Up Combo Teasing Brush paired with Garnier hairspray to add additional volume.
