See All The Oscars 2023 Beauty Trends

Voluminous hair, black bows, and bold liner were some of the biggest beauty trends at the 95th Academy Awards.

The Oscars 2023 are award season’s final curtain call, a finale that asks actors and collaborators to pull out all of the beauty-centric stops. And while each annual event has a certain air about it, the Academy Awards are all down to (often exaggerated) elegance, the descriptor mutating to match the current style scene. 

Hair, for example, was entirely in-step with the most recent runways. Black bows finished Vanessa Hudgens’s and Florence Pugh’s slicked and polished updos; Pugh’s offered extra edge by way of a set of one-night-only bangs. Halle Bailey’s statement plaits skewed statuesque, a feel also favored by Danai Gurira with her towering updo. Meanwhile, sleek, nape-of-the-neck knots, like Cara Delevingne’s, were provided a foil in the form of the tousled, voluminous finishes as seen on the likes of Halle Berry and Angela Bassett. And while Ana De Armas’s center-separated brunette paired well with frothy, petal pink touches, the bold liner donned by Lady Gaga and Andie MacDowell made a case for a deeper brand of glam.  

Here, the best beauty looks from the Oscars red carpet.
