We may be sitting on the sofa reporting on these red (or champagne!) carpet Oscar beauty looks but excitement levels are high (from the living room), and we love nothing more than seeing a new trend being born on the back of these celebrity looks.
So, while we gaze in awe at the glitz and glamour of one of, if not, the main event in the Hollywood calendar, here, we’ve highlighted the best of the best makeup and hair styles that have made us go wow! We’re furiously taking notes, to give you the lowdown on the finishing touches that make these Oscar makeup looks simply unforgettable.
Oscars makeup looks you can recreate at home

Sofia Carson
With her elegant Audrey Hepburn vibes, Sofia brings back old-school glamour with her signature scraped back chignon with side parting. While her hair is striking, she interestingly keeps to a black feline flick on her eyes while her lips are beautifully nude setting off her flawless complexion and beautiful smile.
This is sultry without being overtly sexy and a very wearable look.

Jessica Chastain
Her beautiful red mane effortlessly turns heads while celebrity makeup artist Kristofer Buckle used a full-face of Charlotte Tilbury products to create Jessica’s bold red lip and tawny eye that looks incredibly elegant.

Emily Blunt
Radiant, bronzed, and subtle, this glow-getter look is in-keeping with the clean lines of Emily’s white dress, while her scraped back messy ballerina bun and her pared-down nails brings the entire look together – and we’re loving it!

Michelle Williams
Like a living angel, Michelle turned up at the 95th Academy Awards debuting her platinum pixie crop offset by her porcelain flawless skin. A striking glossy red lip and a tinge of red shadow softly brushed on her eyelids.
This classic and timeless style never goes out of fashion.

Lady Gaga
Low-key isn’t in Lady Gaga’s vocab and this is more present than ever in her makeup and hair choices. A two-tone French plait sweeps her hair off her face while she goes all out on her makeup with a strong 80’s vibe.
Think lashings of black eyeliner, a vinyl red lip and hot pink blush. There’s no holding back on colour.

Nicole Kidman
Nicole let her dress do all the talking and kept her hair wispy, flowing and textured. Her cool-toned smokey eyes gives the look an edge and goth glam vibe, while her lips look almost bare.
She relies on her sequin gown to carry her down the red (champagne!) carpet, and it certainly does!

Jamie Lee Curtis
Winning the Best Supporting Actress, Jamie’s eyes did all the talking. In a myriad of smokey buildable colours that didn’t budge even when the emotional tears came running.

Cara Delevingne
A pro at being in the spotlight, Cara went all out glam with a classic tight chignon and fluttery lashes, red lipstick combo.
She knows her audience and dressed the part from head-to-toe.

Michelle Yeoh
An ethereal vision with a romantic twist. Michelle wore a tiara that looked like a halo and complemented her Dior Haute Couture dress perfectly.
Her makeup was incredibly natural and pared down keeping to a nude palette.

Halle Berry
Owning the red carpet with a wavy crop, almost crimped, metallic eyeshadow, and a super-matte nude lip.
If anyone can get away with this look and still look incredible, it’s Halle!

Janelle Monáe
From the silver thread intertwined into her braids and heavy winged eyeliner to the glittery gold metallic shadow and brown lip liner, Janelle’s Oscar makeup was well-considered.
Although there’s a lot going on with her Vera Wang plunging gown, it all works.

Jennifer Connelly
This entire look is pure elegance. With her slicked back hair, a smokey eye offsetting her piercing blue eyes, Jennifer knows what suits her and sticks to it.
Sultry, smouldering and intensely flattering.

Like everything Ri-Ri does, we expect this look will go viral.
