When it comes to red carpet beauty, the Oscars is always our favourite. The glitz, glamour, the gowns. What’s not to like?
And after a few years of live events being put on pause, the 2022 Oscars is shaping up to be one hell of a show-stopper. With a guest list including Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Jessica Chastain and Tracee Ellis Ross, we’re strapping in for some stellar hair and makeup inspiration.
From elegant updos to glitter eyeshadow looks, here’s every Oscars beauty look you don’t want to miss.
Jessica Chastain
Jessica wore a glitzy eye to match her glitzy Gucci gown and we were floored.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Tracee kept it classic with a matching red gown and lip combo.
Nicole Kidman
Our Aussie favourite knows how to keep it timeless and chic on the Oscars red carpet.
Kirsten Dunst
It was a wash of rose all over for Kristen, who’s nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita’s sculptural updo was an absolute show-stopper.
Serena Williams
We’re still not over how good Serena looks with her new blunt bob.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Maggie caught our attention with her pixie cut and moody oxblood lip.
Zoë Kravitz
From her subtle eyeliner flick to her straight-angled brows and Audrey Hepburn-esque fringe, Zoë could do no wrong.
Uma Thurman
Uma was the epitome of effortless elegance.
Kristen Stewart
While some were shocked by the fact she wore shorts on the red carpet, we give full marks to Kristen for nailing this hair slip.
Niecy Nash
Niecy’s soft centre-parted updo and kohl-lined eyes were the perfect accompaniment for her poppin’ fuschia dress.
Penelope Cruz
Penelope had it all: the glitzy eye, the Hollywood hair flip and skin that looked lit from within.
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer was as graceful as always with understated makeup and a subtle wave in her hair.
Mila Kunis
Mila’s red carpet moment with Ashton Kutcher was only to be outdone by her stunning soft glam makeup.
Ariana DeBose
We’re filing this one under ‘smokey eye inspo’. Bravo, Ariana DeBose!
Maya Rudolph
Maya paired peachy cheeks with a pink lip like a pro. Plus, that C-curl bob? Divine.
Olivia Coleman
Olivia was stunning in silver, with a textured beehive updo that offset her high-neck spectacularly.
Rosie Perez
A raspberry lip and deep side-parted waves was a stunning choice for Rosie.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Jada’s gorgeous emerald gown was accentuated with a sparkling liner of the same colour and some fiercely long lashes.

I love Jennifer’s subtle makeup and wavy hair look, can totally relate to it <3
Ooooh, Jessica’s dress is glorious (thank you for posting on your IG Beautyheaven)! And combined with her hair colour and the whole look, glamour we didn’t see in along time! Beautiful woman! Stunning
yes indeed Jessica’s look is outstanding -so classy
So much to love! Awesome looks. Can’t beat the red lip.
Not seeing others in their whole outfits, love Kirsten (she is so cute, gorg in red) and Nicole’s hair colour is fab (and dress colour and top cut! love!)! Love that she has her lips back to her natural, she is gorg as always. Both so feminine and beautiful!
Kirsten Dunst and Lupita Nyong’o get my votes.

They are all different and special
Jada looks beautiful
I do like Penelope Cruz, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Garner, Nicole Kidman and Jessica Chastain as my picks. Some of the others I don’t like but I also don’t even know some of the names mentioned.
I think Serena Williams looks pretty
Definitely Mila Kunis beautiful sophistication.
They got beautiful dresses.
Jessica Chastain and Mila Kunis were my favourite looks of the night.
Loving all the gorgeous frocks and makeup
I don’t have a favourite as each of these ladies have dressed in their own style and look wonderful
I agree and all so different.
While I know we’re focused on hair and make up here, I am longing to see the whole package including outfits for most of these.
same, I’m into fashion. Never much into face colours. Nice to see, prefer fashion
Every one of them looks wonderful.
Not a fan of lots of these
I like Jennifer Garner’s look.
They all look gorgeous, nothing too over the top, at least for these stunners.
Jessica and Jennifer look absolutely stunning. I love Nicole Kidman, but I don’t really like her make-up here, the foundation looks dry.
All beautiful
All nice styles
My favourite look was Jennifer Garner, as soon as i saw the photo i thought wow. Natural beauty style almost
Love how most of those women are happy to show signs of aging. So refreshing!
It would be so much fun to have your hair and makeup done to perfection & get to wear a fabulous ball gown. So jealous!
Jessica looked very glam and glitzy – loved it.
Where is Cate Blanchett? She’s always knocks them out on the red carpet.
Serena Williams looking stunning as usual
They all looked fabulous!
Love an up do. Great looks!
Jessica is my favourite.
Alll these ladies look lovely but Mila Kunis is my favourite. Her dress is so gorgeous.
