The singer, who\u2019s up for nine awards at the 43rd annual ceremony, hit the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 27, wearing a fresh take on \u201960s eyeliner, featuring her signature black wing and bright white liner underneath.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">But look closer and you\u2019ll see there\u2019s a third layer, too: a soft, brownish wing just beneath the white liner that adds depth without going full smoky eye. The combination channels retro icon Twiggy, whose bold black liner and painted-on lower lashes defined the \u201960s eye. White liner along the lower lash line was a go-to trick of the era for making eyes look bigger and brighter, and Swift\u2019s version trades the drawn-on lashes for a subtler, more wearable finish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-segment\">\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">As for the rest of her glam, she kept it simple yet elegant with a dewy complexion, a soft peachy-coral lip and a hint of rosy blush. Her hair looked natural, falling just below her shoulders with piecey full bangs and slightly tousled, honey-toned strands, which complemented her Tamara Ralph Fall\/Winter 2026 Couture gown perfectly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/6546f614059ed79c4fcab2cb8805c909cd740fdb-1200x1200.png?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"Taylor Swift attends the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-center text-sm italic text-gray-500\">Taylor Swift\u2019s 2026 VMAs look layered a black wing, bright white lower liner and a soft brown smudge underneath for a modern take on \u201960s eyes.

Carpenter leaned harder into the retro vibe, but both looks follow the same formula: a deep, defined upper lash line, white liner on the waterline to open up the eyes and darker liner just below it for depth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/0ee3c5ae65228ba462de6f69599a6d7204cad15e-1200x1200.png?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"Sabrina Carpenter attends the 2025 Met Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-center text-sm italic text-gray-500\">Sabrina Carpenter at the 2025 Met Gala, where a sharp black wing, white waterline and smudged brown lower liner gave her a retro, doe-eyed look.
