Glamour is back in a big way for Hollywood’s biggest night
It’s time to round out the season’s award-show beauty looks with a grand finale: the 2024 Oscars. For Hollywood’s biggest night, the stars aligned at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre with glam worthy of the annual occasion. Along with glowing skin, smoky eyes, and bold lashes, attendees opted for sleek, side-parted blowouts and structured updos that added extra dimension on the red carpet. Scroll on to see some of the most noteworthy hair and makeup looks from the 96th Academy Awards.
Anya Taylor-Joy
A wash of lip color, bold liner, and volumized lashes are a winning beauty combination, as illustrated by Anya Taylor-Joy’s red-carpet look. Her makeup was crafted by celebrity artist Georgie Eisdell for Dior.
Emma Stone
Academy Award winner Emma Stone looked radiant with glowy skin and polished winged liner from Charlotte Tilbury, which mimicked the design of her peplum Louis Vuitton gown. Her center-parted barrel curls were created by celebrity stylist Mara Roszak using Roz Hair and tools from GHD.
Zendaya
We love just about every red-carpet look Zendaya wears, from head-to-toe—including this one created by stylist Tai Simon, which proves side-parted bobs are here to stay.
Eva Longoria
Pin-straight hair and smoky eyes were taken up a notch in Eva Longoria’s red-carpet look, which helped further elevate her gown’s dynamic neckline.
“For Eva’s makeup we decided to do her signature bronzed glowy skin while keeping the focus on her gorgeous eyes,” celebrity artist Elan Bongiorno said in a statement. “I wanted her eyes to pop, so I gave her glamorous lashes with Panorama mascara, a classic winged eye look using precision liquid black eyeliner. To complement the look, we went with a nude lipstick.”
Greta Lee
Greta Lee was polished perfection in a slicked-back bun and wine-colored lip stain on the Oscars red carpet. Her hair was crafted by celebrity artist Takuya Yamaguchi for Bumble and bumble.
Lily Gladstone
The Killers of the Flower Moon star looked elegant with a sheer lip stain, rosy cheeks, designed by artist Fiona Stiles for Chanel. and shiny mermaid waves. Her hair was crafted by celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena using Better Not Younger, Shark Beauty, and Great Lengths hair extensions.
Ariana Grande
Sheer baby pink and a bold lash look stole the show when it came to Ariana Grande’s monochromatic beauty look.
Billie Eilish
Academy Award winner Billie Eilish channeled rock-star glam with a bold blush look, smoky liner, and tousled hair, to give an edge to her tailored suiting.
America Ferrera
Academy Award nominee and CoverGirl ambassador America Ferrera’s fresh-faced makeup and wavy bob, created by celebrity stylist Aviva Perea for GHD, perfectly paired with her curve-hugging Barbie-pink gown. “America and her beauty encapsulate three words: Fresh, flawless, powerful!” her makeup artist Linda Hay says in a statement.
Emily Blunt
The bronzy cheeks and liner seen on Academy Award nominee Emily Blunt are giving us plenty of inspiration for warm-weather makeup looks to come. Her bun was created by celebrity hairstylist Laini Reeves using Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence looked sun-kissed in a patterned Dior gown and matching shawl.
Lupita Nyong’o
We don’t know what we love more: Lupita Nyong’o’s regal updo or her shimmery, ethereal makeup, designed by celebrity artist Nick Barose for Chanel. Her nails were polished by artist Deborah Lippmann, with hair done by stylist Vernon François using Matrix.
Margot Robbie
We’re obsessed with Margot Robbie’s bedhead waves, a playful departure from her polished Barbie beauty looks.
Florence Pugh
We love Florence Pugh’s bold yet romantic makeup look, which is the perfect match to her soft, platinum-blonde waves. Her look was created by celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel for Virtue.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens had a radiant glow on the Oscars red carpet, courtesy of celebrity artist Tonya Brewer. She also wore a sleek high ponytail accented with a single, face-framing tendril.
Gabrielle Union-Wade
We love the classic elegance of Gabrielle Union-Wade’s coifed ballerina bun and soft smoky eye. Her makeup look was created by Tasha Reiko Brown using Chanel staples.
"The beautiful shine of Gabrielle’s gown inspired me to create skin that matched the sheen. The structure demanded that we keep the face softer, so I opted for clean skin with soft sculpting and added a peachy flush on cheeks and lips," Reiko Brown says. "I chose grey and taupe shades to softly smudge out the eyes and popped the lids with a lovely coral shade to add warmth. To complete the look, I added a dramatic lash for red carpet drama."
Kirsten Dunst
Red lipstick was the cherry on top of Kirsten Dunst’s crisp white fashion look. Her skin was prepped by celebrity artist Melanie Inglessis using Danucera.
Becky G
Singer Becky G’s bouncing, glossy curls and high-wattage blush were a hit paired with her corseted gown. Her hair was done by celebrity stylist Rikkie Gajda for Tresemmé.
Issa Rae
Another one of our favorite hair looks on the Oscars red carpet, Issa Rae’s sculptural updo made a serious beauty statement.
Greta Gerwig
Greta Gerwig paired her dazzling dress with cloud-like skin, courtesy of hydrating skin prep from Le Domaine, and a glossy bob.
