18 Oscars Beauty Looks Everyone Is Talking AboutGetty Images
As a longtime beauty editor, I’ve covered countless awards shows over the years. And while I love the Oscars and celebrating film’s biggest night, the red carpet glam usually leans pared-back and predictable. But at last night’s 98th Academy Awards, the beauty moments felt refreshingly bold and undeniably stunning. I was thrilled to see A-listers going beyond the usual glowy skin and polished blowouts, with plenty of statement-making red lips, sleek and sculptural updos, retro-inspired waves, and eye makeup perfectly color-coordinated with gowns.
So go ahead and feast your eyes on the best celebrity hair and makeup looks from the 2026 Oscars red carpet—handpicked by yours truly.
