The 27 best hair and makeup looks from the 2020 Oscars red carpet
A moment for Billie's nails please...
Don't get us wrong, we love a good outfit, but when it comes to the red carpet we're way more invested in the hair and beauty looks than the dresses. Lucky for us then that the 2020 Oscars did not disappoint.
The 92nd Academy Awards took place in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles on Sunday night, with every A-list star you could think of in attendance. From Billie Eilish to Mindy Kaling, Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, and Beanie Feldstein.
While the winners of the night walked away with an iconic golden trophy and bragging rights for life, we wanted to spare a moment for the people behind the scenes, the industry worker bees who don't get to make a speech, but do get to help make history.
Our favourite makeup artists and hair stylists have spent the last few months preparing for this very night and boy did they deliver. From Billie's iconic green roots and epic nails, to Zazie Beet's natural curls and Kaitlyn Dever's winged liner. Whether you're looking for a timeless red lipstick moment straight out of the golden Hollywood era, or an edgy sleek up-do to showcase the latest rising star. We pulled an all-nighter to round up our favourite hair, makeup and all round beauty looks from Sunday night.
Granted recreating any of these for your next night out at your local Spoons, isn't quite the same as an evening chomping on canapés and brushing shoulders with Leo. Just remember, all your favourite stars started somewhere and maybe your big break will come in the unlikely form of a Blue Lagoon...
Billie Eilish
Billie swapped her double G's for double C's, wearing head-to-toe Chanel for the night. As per usual, she kept her makeup simple, leaving her iconic green roots and lethal looking nails to do the talking for her.
Saoirse Ronan
Our little Ladybird is all grown up and we're getting emotional over here. Saoirse teamed the lilac in the skirt of her dress to her eyelids, with a wash of bright colour, teamed with a winged liner. Someone stop us from reaching for the scissors at 1am in attempts at recreating that wispy fringe.
Lily Aldridge
Proving the power of a classic red lip, Lily kept the rest of her makeup simple, with just a touch of mascara on the eyes. We love the effortlessness of her softly slicked hair especially when paired with those statement earrings, which compliment her lip colour.
Janelle Monáe
This is the new Hollywood glam we've been waiting for. A bold red, matte lip, eyebrow skimming lashes and sleek side parting make for old school glam, but Janelle shook it up with this hooded see through dress. Mark our words, this look will go down in history.
Florence Pugh
It might be almost 1am in the UK when we're writing this, but that does not mean that Florence hasn't inspired us to reach for our makeup bag because this look is beautiful. Keeping her hair off her face to keep the focus on her sultry eyes and lips, we really hope she got a selfie because that's one hell of a profile picture right there.
Natalie Portman
This is the bob inspiration you've been looking for. Seriously, if this doesn't make you book that chop, nothing will. The length, the undone texture, the fact that the colour matches her eyeshadow and compliments her lipstick, Natalie, we're obsessed.
Salma Hayek
Did somebody order a Grecian Goddess because Salma looks hotter than Icarus' wings. Naturally we're obsessed with her matte cool pink lip and sleek accessorised bun. We should have known she'd been painted by none other than Mario Dedivanovic.
Margot Robbie
Margot gave the green glitter eyeshadow a break and instead went for a classic and effortless, velvet red lip, paired with super sleek Hollywood waves.
