The Most Iconic Beauty Looks From '00s Music Videos

Sometimes, we find ourselves longing for a simpler time, like the early '00s, when music videos weren't just performances; they were full-blown productions. From the fashion to the sets, everything was dialed up and the beauty looks were no exception. Glittery lids, frosted lips and blown-out hair dominated our television screens, setting trends that still inspire us today.

To celebrate the era in all its glory, we're rounding up the most iconic early-2000s music video beauty moments. From Jennifer Lopez's glow in "Waiting for Tonight" to Christina Aguilera's Moulin-Rouge-inspired transformation in "Lady Marmalade," here are some of our favorites.

Britney Spears' "Toxic"

Forget Coachella's face gems — Britney Spears started this trend in her "Toxic" video. Her frosty beauty look, complete with shimmering crystal accents and icy makeup, set the blueprint for the trends dominating festivals today.

Jennifer Lopez's "Waiting for Tonight"

Before raves were mainstream, Jennifer Lopez gave us the ultimate blueprint for club makeup in "Waiting for Tonight" — she wore glossy eyeshadow, highlighter on her brow bone and had a dewy, just-danced-all-night skin base.

Beyoncé's "Single Ladies"

Remember the pouf we rocked atop our heads in the '00s? No one did it better than Beyoncé, who made it look elevated during her "Crazy in Love" era — the look gave major pop star energy.

Christina Aguilera's "Lady Marmalade"

"Lady Marmalade" united some of the biggest names of the time — 'Lil Kim, Pink, Mya and Christina Aguilera — each reimagining '20s glamour through their own lens, blending punk, glam and cool-girl edge into one Moulin Rouge-esque moment.

Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together"

Mariah Carey's heartfelt plea in "We Belong Together" hit even harder thanks to her flipped-out and tousled blowout. This soft and romantic hair became just as popular as the song itself, capturing the raw emotion the singer belted in the tune.

Aaliyah's "Try Again"

Aaliyah brought a whole new level of glam to her 2000 "Try Again" video, with smoky eyes and red-dyed strands that perfectly captured the futuristic vibe of the song.

Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie"

Shakira celebrated her Lebanese and Colombian roots by shifting between two stunning beauty looks: a bedazzled back with a ballerina bun and beachy, natural vibe waves with minimal makeup.
