The Hair and Makeup Looks Worth Talking About At the Oscars

 

As expected, beauty came to play at the 95th academy awards. You can attest that the biggest night in Hollywood often calls for ostentatious beauty looks, including all hues of makeup, a range of desirable hairstyles, and face inventions that could become popular in the coming months. The Jimmy Kimmel-hosted event included a star-studded roster of influential figures from Hollywood and other parts of the world.

The Oscars naturally serve as the pinnacle of celebrities’ glam throughout award seasons, and this year, with a 100% recovery from the COVID-19 outbreak, the looks were nothing short of stunning with red lips of all shades taking over the lip scene and slicked baby buns and updos queening over the Oscars’ ‘hair-dom’. Also, in an intriguing departure from convention, the Academy opted for a natural-toned, champagne-colored carpet rather than the customary vivid red one. Continue reading as we unpack the best hair and makeup looks from the 95th Annual Academy Awards!

1. Lady Gaga

Representing her haute beauty line, ‘Haus Labs’, Lady Gaga was caught sporting a ferocious yet modern ’80s-inspired makeup look. Hers was definitely a face beat with red glossy lips, smokey eyes, and a baby hairdo to complete her framed facial look.

2. Rihanna

Riri’s all-red performance at the Super Bowl is still in our minds, and now she’s sporting red lipstick like the queen of red that she is. Hers was a tasteful combination of dark red nails, a loose top knot, and creamy, satiny lipstick.

3. Cara Delevingne

Red was the order of the day, and we weren’t actually making jokes. Although Cara Delevingne’s monochromatic makeup is the ideal accompaniment to her all-red costume, we also admire her deeply side-parted, slicked-back hair.

 

4. Michelle Williams

When a bang-styled blonde hairstyle and brilliant cherry-red lipstick are both in view, it is always the ideal pairing. To make a significant statement, very little is required.

5. Ana de Armas

Ana’s long, soft-wavy hair, glittery eye shadow, shimmery glossy pink lips, and dewy skin deviated from the evening’s trend, giving her otherwise traditional appearance a hint of uniqueness.

6. Florence Pugh

The 2023 Oscars literally saw the rise of more baby looks this year. While Pugh had subtle, understated makeup on, her blonde baby bangs held loosely up with a black ribbon, stole the show.

7. Janelle Monáe

The silver embellishments weaved through Janelle Monáe’s enormous cornrow hairstyle gave her otherwise traditional beauty look — a smoky eye and neutral makeup look — the ideal modern touch.

8. Halle Bailey

Skip Halle Bailey’s outstanding Disney princess appearance for a second; her statement twisted braids styled into an updo are undeniably a hairstyle inspiration for days. Her soft smokey eyes, fluttery lashes, and neutral lips all combine to create the ideal look for an extremely special date. Indeed, you could arrange that, ASAP. *winks*

9. Angela Basset

Basset was def the queen of vibrant colors at the 95th Academy Awards. With this particular look, Angela Bassett’s purple Jeremy Scott dress was well coordinated with her wavy, bombshell hair, mauve eyeliner, and lipstick. What’s not to love?

10. Mindy Kaling

Oh, look at her strong facial features, framed by her half-up, slicked-back hair, which serves as the ideal accent to the actress’s dramatic lashes and maroon lipstick.

Hello Barbiecore, is that you? Just loving how her blush pink lipstick and the stunning slicked-back chignon make the actress’s custom Prada dress quite outstanding.

Allison knows how to keep everything delicate. This lovely and understatedly glamorous look is all about soft, ballerina-pink makeup in subtle tones.

13. Danai Gurira

The steadily sculpted appearance of Danai Gurira on the red carpets is always endearing. The Marvel actor looked stunning as she paid a well-received nod to her African ancestry while sporting a strong red lip and an updo that seemed to bring the Wakanda motif to the Oscars.

 

14. Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria is giving us just enough of a dewy, natural look to last us for days. By donning the wet hair look, Longoria brought a mermaid core to the champagne carpet.

15. Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow has glossy, ultra-detailed lips that contrast beautifully with her disheveled baby updo. She chose simplicity and elegance, which all worked together to make her yellow canary dress pop on the champagne carpet.

16. Stephanie Hsu

Without a little old Hollywood glitz, I guess the beauty looks at the 2023 Oscars wouldn’t be complete. Speaking of which, Stephanie Hsu paid homage to the industry’s custom glam with her fluttery lashes, waves, and a brush of pink lipstick.
