It’s not just about the suits and dresses.
The Oscars ceremony has officially started, following a star-studded red carpet. And while the first gongs are being awarded, we’re taking a few minutes to zoom in on some of the night’s most breathtaking hair and makeup looks.
Here’s whose looks we loved tonight:
Penelope Cruz

The glowing skin, the glittering eye, the muted lip – there’s nothing not to love about this.
Saoirse Ronan

I’m feeling everything about this from the fringe to the subtle flick and the tiny hair accessory.
Cynthia Erivo

One word: LASHES. Five more words: Into everything going on here.
Margot Robbie

Yet another Pati Dubroff red carpet masterpiece.
Sandra Oh

I need to know what highlighter this is ASAP.
Florence Pugh

Really feeling this top knot/braid situation. Also the makeup is A+.
Janelle Monae

Oh OK Janelle, just coming through with this fire look. Also the next time someone tells you that you’re wearing too many sparkles, show them this.
Chrissy Metz

Living for these mermaid waves on Chrissy. Also love that her lip is perfectly matched to her dress.
Billie Eilish

The mani is obviously stellar, but Billie’s matching cheek/lip colour and inner eye highlight are also worth noting.
Minday Kaling

A classic smokey eye and side part is always a red carpet winner and Mindy Kaling pulls it off perfectly.
Laura Dern

Look up radiant in a dictionary and this photo of Laura Dern will appear.
Caitriona Balfe

I would wear this look to work, to brunch, to the grocery, literally everywhere. I love it that much.
America Ferrera

This is TRULY stunning. She looks flawless.
Regina King

Honestly, does Regina ever not look incred on a red carpet? Answer: no.
Scarlett Johansson

Loved the dress, love the makeup even more. Filing this under ‘date night beauty inspo’.
Zazie Beetz

Lucy Boynton

I’m a sucker for a hair accessory ad a red lip so naturally, I am obsessed with this.
This half-up, half-down look is all kinds of excellent. Also the smokey eye is a beauty.
