The Best Hair & Makeup Looks At The 2026 Oscars

Emma Stone flawlessly matched her Louis Vuitton dress to her shimmery silver eyeshadow. Her side-swept bob, styled by Mara Roszak using RŌZ Haircare and ghd tools, completed the ’90s-inspired vibe.

The One Battle After Another star’s cascading braids, created using Bellami Silk Seam Clip-In Extensions and Briogeo products by hairstylist Coree Moreno, stole the spotlight — and her draped pink blush and pastel eyeshadow were just as stunning. Makeup artist Amber Dreadon prepped her complexion with NuFace’s microcurrent device.

Byrne proved you can never go wrong with a red lip. The star’s crimson pout — Rouge Dior in Concorde Velvet Finish by Hung Vanngo, to be exact — made a statement alongside her black gown.

Teyana Taylor dazzled with her signature double eyeliner and glowing skin, with body shimmer adding extra drama. Makeup artist Yeika Glow created the mod-inspired glam with CHANEL Le Crayon Yeux Precision Eye Definer in Noir Black, while celebrity hairstylist Nikki Nelms styled her spiked pixie with Dyson tools and OGX products.

Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos gave Demi Moore’s waist-length hair an award-worthy blowout. Her raven locks were glossy, bouncy, and softly curled at the ends, with extra shine from the Kérastase Chronologiste Thermique Régénérant Heat Protecting Cream.

Sinners star Jayme Lawson gave a modern twist to the slicked-back bun, with a deep side part and spiky ends popping at the back.

Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley took the occasion to debut a “sparkling blonde” pixie, created by Schwarzkopf Professional’s U.S. Hair Color Trend Ambassador Jacob Schwartz and styled by Jenny Cho using Nexxus products. The lighter shade popped beautifully against her pink flush and red lip.

Kristen Wiig’s tousled lob and bronzed glam looked effortlessly chic. Makeup artist Jo Baker used G.M. Collin skin care and Well People’s new Skinforia Serum Foundation to create her radiant glow.

Ferreira radiated Old Hollywood energy with her soft, side-swept waves and a subtly smoky eye. Celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins used amika styling products and Donna Bella clip-in extensions to complete the look.

Kirsten Dunst looked like the ultimate ’90s cool girl with a mauve lip, soft pink flush, and a slicked-back sculptural bun by Gregory Russell, styled with Goldwell products. Makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis used Dior for the star’s glam — including the Rouge Dior Contour in Nude Blush, Rouge Dior Forever Liquid in Forever Nude Style, and Rouge Dior On Stage in Berry Attitude.

Nicole Kidman’s wavy blowout was a nod to her Moulin Rouge roots, courtesy of hairstylist Adir Abergel, who used Bellami Clip-In Extensions and WavyTalk’s Cool Curl Pencil to create the playful finish.

Isabela Merced took cues from fashion month with her Gucci-inspired black eyeliner, the perfect glam complement to her black leather gown.

Kate Hudson showcased a modern twist on the Old Hollywood blowout, styled by Renato Campora using ghd tools and sealed by Parfums de Marly Valaya Hair Perfume and Joico Hold Hero High Hold + Shine Boosting Finishing Spray.

Marsai Martin served a master class in monochromatic style, pairing her chocolate-colored gown with “latte makeup” by Diana Shin, finished with I-Envy lashes.

Proof the messy beauty movement is still going strong? Gracie Abrams’ perfectly messy pixie, styled by hairstylist Bobby Eliot with Olivia Garden tools for the relaxed, tousled effect. Makeup artist Emily Cheng added a rosy flush with CHANEL Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Pink Explosion.

Wunmi Mosaki made a case for shimmery green inner corner eyeshadow — the perfect pairing to her sequined dress. Facialist Joanna Czech prepped her glow with Swiss Perfection, while celebrity hairstylist Araxi Lindsey completed the look with a coral reef-inspired updo using SheaMoisture products.

Misty Copeland brought ballerina-style glamour to the red carpet with a sleek bun that let her soft pink glam and radiant skin take center stage. Makeup artist Mali Boykin kept the athlete’s complexion hydrated and glowy with a drugstore favorite: Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion.

Even without a red carpet appearance, Zendaya made waves with her monochromatic brown dress and glam moment. Her sleek, side-swept bixie, styled by Ursula Stephen using Moroccanoil and Tangle Teezer products, was just as Oscars-worthy.

Zoe Saldaña proved that simple can be show-stopping. Makeup artist Vera Steimberg prepped her flawless skin with the ZIIP Halo microcurrent device and added Lancôme’s Curl Goddess Mascara for the perfect finishing touch.

Mikey Madison served Brontë babe vibes in a red velvet gown, romantic blush, and berry-brown lip, paired with softly defined brows by Melissa Hernandez using Tweezerman. Hairstylist Rena Calhoun completed the Wuthering Heights-inspired look with glossy waves and extra shine from Hair Rituel by Sisley.

Sentimental Value actor Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas looked casual yet elegant with a wavy low ponytail and face-framing tendrils. Hairstylist Christopher Naselli added soft texture using AquaLyna clip-in extensions and Sutra Styling Tools.
