The MTV VMAs on Aug. 24 were a huge night for Fifth Harmony. The quintet — Ally Hernandez, Normani Hamilton, Dinah Jane Hansen, Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui — not only performed at the preshow but they walked away with a Moonman trophy for artist to watch (besting Sam Smith, Schoolboy Q, 5 Seconds of Summer and Charlie XCX). The ladies shared their exclusive behind-the-scenes photos in their own words of their big day with Billboard — from getting glam to inside the awards ceremony!

We’ve arrived on site! Time for a quick dress rehearsal and then GLAMS.
