We’ve finally reached the peak of awards season (or, Awards Season,™ if you’re Moira Rose). The 2026 Oscars are taking place tonight inside Los Angeles’s Dolby Theatre—but the real show, some would say, is the red carpet before. Of course, celebrities have been preparing all day to bring the glamour.
Beauty trends have taken the spotlight leading up to the 98th Academy Awards, from blurred lips at the SAG Actor Awards to forehead curls at both the Golden Globes and the Grammys. Tonight, we’re seeing more of the same—confirming that spring’s beauty trends are strong.
And while the big trends of the night are exciting, don’t forget the small moments of style like Audrey Nuna’s sculptural gold nails, Chase Infiniti’s lilac eyeshadow, and Auli’i Cravalho’s romantic blush placement.
Below, we get into the best beauty details you may have missed (but are worth a closer look).
