When it comes to red carpet beauty, the Oscars is always our favourite. The glitz, glamour, the gowns. What’s not to like?
And after a few years of live events being put on pause, the 2022 Oscars is shaping up to be one hell of a show-stopper. With a guest list including Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Jessica Chastain and Tracee Ellis Ross, we’re strapping in for some stellar hair and makeup inspiration.
From elegant updos to glitter eyeshadow looks, here’s every Oscars beauty look you don’t want to miss.
Jessica Chastain
Jessica wore a glitzy eye to match her glitzy Gucci gown and we were floored.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Tracee kept it classic with a matching red gown and lip combo.
Nicole Kidman
Our Aussie favourite knows how to keep it timeless and chic on the Oscars red carpet.
Kirsten Dunst
It was a wash of rose all over for Kristen, who’s nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita’s sculptural updo was an absolute show-stopper.
Serena Williams
We’re still not over how good Serena looks with her new blunt bob.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Maggie caught our attention with her pixie cut and moody oxblood lip.
Zoë Kravitz
From her subtle eyeliner flick to her straight-angled brows and Audrey Hepburn-esque fringe, Zoë could do no wrong.
Uma Thurman
Uma was the epitome of effortless elegance.
Kristen Stewart
While some were shocked by the fact she wore shorts on the red carpet, we give full marks to Kristen for nailing this hair slip.
Niecy Nash
Niecy’s soft centre-parted updo and kohl-lined eyes were the perfect accompaniment for her poppin’ fuschia dress.
Penelope Cruz
Penelope had it all: the glitzy eye, the Hollywood hair flip and skin that looked lit from within.
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer was as graceful as always with understated makeup and a subtle wave in her hair.
Mila Kunis
Mila’s red carpet moment with Ashton Kutcher was only to be outdone by her stunning soft glam makeup.
Ariana DeBose
We’re filing this one under ‘smokey eye inspo’. Bravo, Ariana DeBose!
Maya Rudolph
Maya paired peachy cheeks with a pink lip like a pro. Plus, that C-curl bob? Divine.
Olivia Coleman
Olivia was stunning in silver, with a textured beehive updo that offset her high-neck spectacularly.
Rosie Perez
A raspberry lip and deep side-parted waves was a stunning choice for Rosie.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Jada’s gorgeous emerald gown was accentuated with a sparkling liner of the same colour and some fiercely long lashes.
