You’re probably still trying to catch up on everything that went down at last night’s MTV VMAs. Between Rihanna’s and Beyoncé’s epic performances, and Drake’s heart-warming speech while presenting the former with the Vanguard Award, we don’t blame you.

While we’ve re-capped all of the must-see moments, along with the best style and beauty red carpet looks, we figured we’d give you a glimpse on what the celebs were up to minutes before their cars pulled up the venue. Because who isn’t dying to know of the beauty team behind Taylor Hill‘s hair and makeup, or which celebs’ pre-show ritual involves a bottle of bubbly?

Luckily for us, our fave A-listers (and their crews) were more than willing to share close-ups of their getting-ready processes on Instagram, and we got front-row seats to what went down behind-the-scenes leading up to the big show. From a cute shot of Blue Ivy to last minute selfies courtesy of Camila Cabello and Joan Smalls, we’ve rounded up our favourite behind-the-scenes shots on Instagram.
