The 10 Best Beauty Looks At The 2025 Oscars

Unsurprisingly, Ariana Grande channelled Glinda on the red carpet for the Oscars. Wearing a dusty pink Schiaparelli SS25 Couture gown, she made ample references to her Wicked character with the beauty details too – there was the pretty chignon, the pretty-in-pink manicure and the Glinda-inspired lip tint.

It's not the first time that Cynthia Erivo's beauty look has centred around her nails, nor that the Wicked star has referenced her character through her manicure. Created by her nail artist, Rose Hackle, Erivo's talons were brimming with hidden Wicked symbols, from the green emeralds to the clock, which appeared as miniature works of art.

First it was the bob, and now it seems the pixie cut is taking over as the hairstyle of 2025. With a choppy fringe and fresh take on the classic cut, Anok Yai showed just how to modernise the nostalgic chop, pairing hers with luminous skin and minimal make-up.

While her make-up and skin remained pared-back save for a lip tint and classic eye liner, Margaret Qualley's Oscars beauty look was all about her hair, more specifically, an intricate bow-inspired updo.

It was all in the finer details for Lupita Nyong’o's Oscars beauty look, who wore pearl details pinned to her updo (the perfect pairing for her embellished white Chanel gown) with teal green eyeshadow and a subtle rouge on her lips.

It was a whirlwind night for Mikey Madison, who took home the award of 'best actress' for for her role in Anora. For the occasion, Madison went back to the beauty archives with an Oscar-worthy beauty look that was all about old school Hollywood glamour – a chic updo, a striking eye and nude lip.

After chopping her lengths into a short pixie cut, Emma Stone has been embracing a number of different styles. For the 97th Academy Awards, she made a strong case for the side-parted pixie, giving her short crop the ultimate red-carpet overhaul with finger waves and a wet-look finish.

Though her feathered gown might have been stealing focus from the rest of her look, the Mars star's make-up was equally striking, thanks to a classic smokey eye, elevated with touches of muted green, bronzed cheeks and a nude overlined lip.

A coiffed bob and nostalgic make-up have become somewhat of a signature for the singer-songwriter. Sticking to her classics, Raye also added a new beauty detail via her 'double eyeliner' look: a make-up technique that involves applying eyeliner to both the upper and lower lash lines to create two wings.

Looking like a real-life ballerina, Elle Fanning paired her white strapless lace dress and cape - the first creation from Sarah Burton’s new tenure for Givenchy - with a Hollywood chignon and rosy make-up details.
