Awards season kicked off Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton with the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards, honoring 2025’s best in film and TV. While the ceremony looked back on all the major pop culture moments from the past year, the beauty looks were also a reflection of 2025’s biggest trends.

Bobs, pixies, and other short cuts were the name of the hair game in 2025, and goth makeup had a major moment that is expected to continue into this year as well. The nostalgia of full-glam, “2016 makeup” is leading to maximalist beauty looks, be it bright lips, blunt bangs, or smoky lids.

This year, bold beauty looks once again graced the red carpet, but classic Old Hollywood glam was also a mainstay. Selena Gomez’s bright berry lip and Elle Fanning’s sleek middle part were proof of just that. Below are the most daring, chic, and on-trend hair and makeup looks of the night.

1Jenna Ortega’s Bleached Brows

Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega stayed true to her goth glam aesthetic with a fully bleached brow look. Celebrity makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis prepped the stars skin with the Laduora Lumeo Skinlift LED Infusion device, then created her understated, ’90s-inspired makeup using Dior products. Her perfect beige-nude lip combo? Rouge Dior Contour in #229 Rose Spice, Rouge Dior On Stage in #390 Redwood Star, and Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil in #081 Latte.
