7 breath-taking hair and make-up details that graced the 2023 Academy Awards red carpet.

The Academy Awards – the biggest night in Hollywood’s calendar – was as spectacular as anticipated for 2023. Being the Oscars, the red carpet (which was actually champagne coloured this year) brought the typical glitz and glamour to award season.

Whether you rooted for Oscars’ nominees like Michelle Yeoh and Angela Bassett or just tuned in for a Rihanna performance, one thing is for sure: It gave us some jaw-dropping hair, nail, and makeup looks that drive trends for the rest of the season. It was definitely a feast for our eyes, as the stars brought all the glamour and elegance to the carpet. Not only did the Oscars showcase the very best of fashion on the carpet, but it also predicted the most incredible beauty trends. We all are waiting to try them on! And, for sure, most of us are extra excited about all the hair, makeup, and nail moments spotted during the ceremony. They are sure to be showstoppers.

The new “champagne” carpet was definitely an unforgettable moment, as our favourite music and social stars hit the carpet alongside A-listers like Jessica Chastain, Nicole Kidman, and Cate Blanchett. This year, Lady Gaga hit the “champagne” carpet, giving us a hint that she is finally back! Moreover, after her incredible performance at the Superbowl, Rihanna blessed us with her presence looking gorgeous and glowy pregnant.

Here, we’ve rounded up the seven best beauty moments from the Academy Awards – on stars like Lady Gaga, Florence Pugh, Jessica Chastain, and more.

ANA DE ARMAS

Ana de Armas is nominated tonight for her heartbreaking portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Netflix’s Blonde, but she’s going for the opposite with her beauty tonight. The actress is paring sleek brown hair by Jenny Cho using René Furterer products. Meanwhile, her makeup features eye-catching rose gold shimmer on the lids. To get the look, her makeup artist used Estée Lauder’s Pure Color Envy Luxe Eyeshadow Quad in Rose & Shine, plus a combo of Estée Lauder’s Pure Colour Crème Lipstick in Irresistible and Renegade on the lips.

VANESSA HUDGENS

Vanessa Hudgens simply never misses on a red carpet. Bringing us more inspiration for the hair bow trend, Vanessa Hudgens wore a black ribbon tied around a slick looped up-do. Her make-up featured a palette of muted neutrals in line with her monochromatic ’60s-esque Chanel dress.

ELIZABETH OLSEN

Elizabeth Olsen has stepped out for the 95th annual Academy Awards wearing a dramatic red lip, spidery lashes, and a slicked-back bun crafted by stylist Mark Townsend using Phyto products.

LADY GAGA

Lady Gaga looked so amazing on the red carpet, wearing an incredible all-black Versace gown. To complement her look, she also wore a stunning ‘80s-inspired smokey eyes makeup look, using products from her iconic beauty brand Haus Lab. Her hair look done by hairstylist Frederic Aspiras was also stunning.

FLORENCE PUGH

With a gown this vibrant, beauty needs to take a more subtle approach. What we love about this Florence Pugh look is that her “ponytail into bangs” paired perfectly with her Valentino Couture gown. Her glowy makeup was painted on by Alex Babsky using Valentino Beauty products, and her nails were by Dawn Sterling.

JESSICA CHASTAIN

You don’t need to wear much else when wearing an Old Hollywood hair look paired with siren-red Charlotte Tilbury lips.

SOFIA CARSON

Sofia Carson brought the “Princess” vibes to the carpet as she wore a sleek French roll chignon and equally bold brows and a cat-eye eyeliner. She had her classic makeup done by makeup artist Karan Mitchell using Valentino Beauty products.
