If there's one thing there's never any shortage of in Hollywood, it's shade. And there's one form of special, low-key shade that often gets caught on camera, and that's side-eye.

Here are the most iconic side-eye moments in young Hollywood history that will have you laughing for days!

1. Taylor Swift to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Taylor Swift had to witness Justin Bieber greet Selena Gomez with a kiss on the cheek at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards... to her very obvious displeasure. She couldn't help but side-eye the public display of affection, and that side-eye turned into a literal ~gag~. But Taylor had no clue she was being watched by a backstage cam and the whole side-eye-tastic moment was caught on cam!

2. Zendaya to Her Own Crew Member

When someone in Zendaya's crew was rude to one of her fans, she sent a video apology to said fan that contained the most epic side-eye known to man, because anyone who doesn't respect Z's fans is going to hear it from Z herself!

3. Raven-Symone to Candace Cameron Bure

Raven-Symone is known for having some controversial opinions when it comes to her stint on The View, but she was not here for Candace suggesting that it was okay for a bakery to refuse a lesbian couple service. On top of giving Candace a piece of her mind about discrimination, she also hit her with some maj side-eye and we can't say Candace didn't deserve it.

4. Chloe to Her Sister Lily

Even though Chloe and Lily aren't Hollywood starlets, they are YouTube sensations in their own right and deserve a mention on the list. Because when someone sitting by you freaks out unexpectedly and you don't understand why, all you can do is give them some side-eye. And that's exactly what 2-year-old Chloe gave her sister Lily when l'il Lil couldn't find her chill after being told she was going to Disney Land. This famous side-eye will live on forever on the interwebs thanks to all the Chloe side-eye memes that resulted from this hilarious moment!

5. Rihanna to Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus's surprise 2013 VMA performance of "Blurred Lines" with Robin Thicke has gone down in history as one of the most shocking, and apparently, Rihanna was all types of unimpressed by Miley's cray dance moves because while Miley was on stage doing this:

Rihanna was side-eyeing her from the audience, like:

6. Nicki Minaj on American Idol

If you told us Nicki Minaj was chosen to judge American Idol simply to supply the world with flawless side-eye gifs to meme, we would probably believe you. Nicky just couldn't contain the side-eye when it came to the auditions:

7. Selena Gomez to a Fan Who Stole From Her

After a fan stole Selena Gomez's sunglasses and tried to use them as leverage for some concert tickets, the fan realized the error of her ways and tried to return Sel's sunglasses to her to make nice with her idol. Thing is, Queen Sel isn't a fan of thievery and gave the fan some major side-eye in return for her sunglasses. Can't blame her.

8. Katy Perry & Sam Smith to Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus just can't seem to avoid side-eye when it comes to the MTV VMAs. At the 2014 awards show, Miley let a homeless friend of hers accept her award for Video of the Year for "Wrecking Ball." And while Katy and Sam were moved by his emotional speech, Miley was a bit distracting sitting in front of them on the stage, as can be seen in this little show of side-eye, which very well could just have been the pair, um, looking to the side.

Here's the iconic moment frozen in time forever!

9. One Direction to Miley Cyrus

When the camera pulls back from Rihanna's aforementioned 2013 VMA side-eye, you discover that One Direction was sitting directly behind her dishing out some confused side-eye of their own. These looks, however, seem more "eyes looking to the side like whua?" than true shade.

10. Pharrell to Taylor Swift

Everyone knows that Taylor Swift's awards show dance moves are just something you have to deal with because they're never going away. At the 2015 Grammys, Pharrell tried his best not to be distracted by her quirky moves, but ended up side-eyeing Tay for REAL.

He later came out to say that no shade was being thrown and he was just concentrating on taking all her epic dance moves in.
