Get ready to swoon! The 2024 Oscars dazzled with glowing skin, feline eyes, and chic hairstyles that stole the show. Here are our favourite standout hair and makeup moments from the 96th Academy Awards

Leah Lewis

Angelic from head-to-toe, Leah smashed the Balletcore trend with a soft baby pink eyeshadow and matching lip. A pure and girly vibe that beautifully complemented Leah’s exquisite sculptural pink gown.

Zendaya

Bringing old-school glamour to the red-carpet in Armani, Zendaya knows how to wow the crowds – every time. Her look is pure sophistication – full brows, sharp eyes, sculpted lips, and radiant skin, finished with full-bodied voluminous hair.

Get The Look:

Margot Robbie

Stepping away from her usual (and expected) pink palette, Margot chose a no makeup makeup look to stun on the red-carpet. Nude makeup was definitely on the memo.

Get The Look:

Julianne Hough

Turning heads in her sequinned billowing jumpsuit, Julianne’s flippy bob brought glamour to the red carpet. With a makeup palette of soft apricot and pink hues and a touch of shimmery white shadow in the inner corners of her eye, she certainly dazzled.

Get The Look:

Vanessa Hudgens

Making her baby bump debut, Vanessa chose to focus on a cat-eye flick and fluttery lashes while keeping her lips nude-ish in a classic chocolate shade. But celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano made sure the real standout factor was Vanessa’s half-up, half-down high pony that beautifully complemented the neckline on her Vera Wang couture dress.

Get The Look:

Emma Stone

Sporting new dark chocolate tresses, Emma kept her makeup simple with just a coral lip, a tint of tawny blush and radiant skin that allowed her freckles to shine through. Effortlessly chic.

Get The Look:

Brittany Snow

It was all about the eyelashes for Brittany’s glam red-carpet look. While her Mônot yellow gown did all the talking, her piercing blue eyes still shone through with lashings of mascara and a blush-coloured lip.

Get The Look:

Issa Rae

Issa owned the red carpet with her radiant skin and glossy lips, but let’s talk about that show-stopping twirled topknot stealing the spotlight.

Get The Look:

Sandra Hüller

Sandra nails it with a double feline flick, turning heads in a chic, low-key makeup vibe. Her slicked-back ponytail and a touch of natural glow seal the deal, perfectly complementing the elegance of her gown and sparkling diamante details. Pure sophistication.

Get The Look:

Zuri Hall

Zuri owned the metallic game, rocking a stunning shimmer on her eyes with molten golds and bronzes. The super-sleek bob served major boldness, pulling the entire look together flawlessly.

Get The Look:

America Ferrera

Channelling her inner Barbie in a stunning custom Atelier Versace gown, America played her makeup and hair safe with a full brow, lashings of mascara and subtle tinted pink lip. A side parting with a tousled finish gives a sophisticated feel without being too done.

Get The Look:

Emily Blunt

A whispery up-do makes the perfect juxtaposition to Emily’s phenomenal nude sequin dress. Leaning on a nude and brown palette for both eyes and lips that is soft, sophisticated, and effortlessly beautiful. Emily’s radiant skin is impeccable – highlighter is her best friend.

Get The Look:

Cynthia Erivo

Cynthia’s flawless skin and symmetrical face got a bold upgrade with a modern twist on the smokey eye, featuring stunning emerald hues that scream red-carpet glam. And, not to be missed, those fierce matching emerald, green nails.
