Hollywood’s biggest night always gives us memorable speeches, couture gowns that double as art, and A-list couple debuts, but what I personally look forward to most from the Oscars is easily the beauty looks. And while the perfectly sculpted red carpet hair and ultra-glam makeup are always fun to obsess over, the real beauty inspiration actually comes later in the night—at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
Once the ceremony wraps, the glamour somehow gets even better. The after-party is when even more of our favorite stars step out with some of the night’s most memorable hair and makeup moments. As a celebrity-obsessed beauty editor, analyzing red carpet glam is basically my Super Bowl, so naturally, I spent the night zooming in on every sculpted updo, smokey eye, and luminous complexion and rounded up the most stunning beauty trends from the Vanity Fair Oscars Party that are absolutely worth recreating.
Ahead, the best Oscars after-party beauty looks that you’ll definitely want to save to your inspiration board.
