Alicia Keys has been widely criticized for her no-makeup look at MTV’s Video Music Awards. She rocked a relatively modest dress to the awards, but the fact that she didn’t wear any makeup to the event raised a lot of eyebrows. No one is talking about the many other celebrities who did the same, however.
You’ll be surprised at the number of other celebrities who arrived at the VMAs with no makeup on. Check them out below from their red carpet photos.

It’s interesting that Alicia Keys was noticed and criticized for not wearing makeup when these men also came to the same event without any makeup, and no one criticized them for it.
