The MTV Movie Awards are tonight (Sunday, April 13)! Will you be watching? While the Oscars are the biggest night for the film industry, MTV's take on the awards show format always turns out to be the biggest party. Besides, each year the red carpet looks are no snooze. Celebrities appropriately test out fun, edgy hair and makeup looks. In anticipation of the 2014 ceremony, we dug into our archives to find the best beauty looks in the show's history.

A few of our favorites: Back in 1999, Jennifer Lopez took the carpet in a sexy tube dress, which she complemented with a curly half-updo and a trendy, shimmery eye. In 2001, Beyonce paired her metallic eye shadow and glossy neutral lip with a floral hair accessory, a perfect match to her neon yellow dress, and last year, Selena Gomez rocked a sky-high pompadour and braid combo. But the looks don't stop there! Expect to see a very '90s-era Salma Hayek, and who could forget Christina Aguilera's rhinestone-studded "Lady Marmalade" makeup? Click through our gallery to see the most-memorable looks of all time!

2001, Mya

To keep the Moulin Rouge feeling going, Mya added a few crystal elements to her metallic shadow, and wore her auburn strands in a retro half-up style. She later added lace-esque embellishments above each of her defined brows when she performed "Lady Marmalade" alongside, Pink, Lil Kim, and Aguilera.

Before she became part of the Fashion Police crew, Osbourne attended the 2002 ceremony in an asymmetrical pink and black crop, which she offset with skyscraper lashes. She took the stage later in the night to perform a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach."

Long before the star experimented with fire engine red hair or a dramatic pixie, she complemented her Pulp Fiction-esque bob with a soft pink lip, and pale lavender shimmer around her eyes.

2013, Zoe Saldana

Sometimes it's the simple, classic looks that make the biggest impact of all. Last year, Saldana went easy on the eyes and made her bold red lip the focal point, finishing the effect with her hair in loose, touchable waves.

2013, Selena Gomez

The sky's the limit! Gomez wore her mile-long strands in a high braided pompadour, and balanced the dramatic effect by keeping her makeup in neutral tones.

2014, Rita Ora

Rita Ora is known for beauty quite the beauty risk-taker, but she also doesn’t underestimate the impact of the classics. The singer channeled Old Holywood glamour by pairing her voluminous, bouncy curls with a matte red lip.

2015, Shailene Woodley

If there were ever any doubts that short-haired girls can't rock a braid, Shailene crushed them with her loose undercut side-braid and pulled the rest of her hair into a bun at the nape of her neck. Her pretty berry pout was the perfect compliment to the edgy 'do.
