19 Oscars 2025 beauty looks you won't want to miss
Another awards season has come and gone and last night's climax, the Oscars 2025, was exactly the finale we needed. And that includes the best beauty looks, ofc.
The biggest stars in Hollywood came together to celebrate the best of film this year as they walked the Oscars 2025 red carpet in their Sunday best. And while, yes we wanted to know who would be bringing home those coveted golden statues, we were just as captivated with the hair and makeup looks served up by the nominees.
Unsurprisingly, Hollywood enlisted the best in the beauty business to get them ready for the lights and cameras, and their talent was well on display. Among the most eye-catching looks? Neutral glam – spotted on the likes of Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Zoe Saldaña – proved that sometimes, less is more. But there was plenty of room for fun, too: Lupita Nyong'o, Margaret Qualley, and Mindy Kaling all found creative ways to incorporate a splash of colour.
As for hair, updos reigned supreme with everyone from Elle Fanning to Marissa Bode wearing elegant buns. And of course, short hair continued to be on trend, with Selena wearing an Old Hollywood bob, while Halle Berry looked stylish in a flippy style.
