Whether you’ve watched all or none of the nominated films, the Oscars red carpet is an unmissable spectacle. After last year’s show was dominated by the unforgettable Will Smith and Chris Rock saga, we’re hopeful the 2023 spotlight will stay on what’s truly important: the beauty looks.
From Salma Hayek to Jessica Chastain, here are the best looks from the 95th Academy Awards red carpet (so far).
The best Oscars red carpet beauty looks…
Eva Longoria
It takes a special sort of bone structure to pull off gelled-back hair and there’s no question that Eva’s fits the bill.
Mindy Kaling
Jet black liquid liner, sweeping lashes and a berry matte lip; this could easily be Mindy’s strongest look yet.
Zoe Saldana
Soft, feminine and effortlessly chic, Zoe Saldana’s ear-tucked centre part and pared-back makeup makeup is one of (if not the) best beauty looks of the night. The true definition of less is more.
Sofia Carson
Just as Sofia’s beehive hairstyle begins to transport us straight to the ’60s, it’s her flick of liner and laminated brow that are keeping us firmly in the present day.
Laverne Cox
Laverne’s nails entered the room before she did. The aqua-tipped acrylic manicure perfectly matched the Inventing Anna star’s dress.
Angela Bassett
We love Angela’s wash of pink which extends from her brow bone to her lips. Stunning.
Danai Gurira
It’s giving… sculptural, defying gravity, work of art, Marge Simpson, hairstyles hall of fame. And tied together with a sparkly hair band? How fun!
Sandra Oh
A piece-y updo and shaggy fringe made the perfect accompaniment for Sandra’s sunset-toned glam.
Andie MacDowell
Andie’s 360 blue eyeshadow and popping pink lip have brought the pizzazz to the Maid star’s otherwise classic look.
Ashley Graham
We can’t decide what we love more: Ashley’s plait crown, her glossy lined lip or her smoked-out wing liner. Oh, and are those metallic-tipped nails? We’re drooling.
Emily Blunt
It seems Emily Blunt also got wind of the white gown memo. Putting her own mark on what appears to be the colour of the night, Emily paired her gown with a bronze eye, flushed cheek and pink lip.
Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer is out here doing what she does best: sleek, stunning and statement brows. If it ain’t broke…
Salma Hayek
What figure-hugging burnt-orange sequin gown? We’ve only got eyes for Salma’s heavy-handed blush and mermaid waves.
Michelle Yeoh
Michelle looks pretty in (multiple shades of) pink. Is this the healthiest head of hair in Hollywood? It must just be. And what better way to show it off than a tousled, side-swept wave.
Jessica Chastain
Now that’s what you call red-on-red perfection. Off the back of her Best Actress win last year, Jessica’s main focus for 2023 is to slay the red carpet. Mission accomplished.
Which Oscars 2023 look is your favourite so far? Who are you still excited to see?
Don’t really love most of the looks. The background they are posing before might be washing their looks out though. I have seen what Cate wore and she’s still as stylish as ever. Her stylist never gets it wrong!
I think the they would be easier to judge if you saw them in full as just the top half it is hard to see the full effect
My thoughts, exactly, JuJu – I want to see the whole outfit!
LOVE the colour of Laverne & Angela’s dresses – they’re my kind of shades. Really like Sofia’s beehive hairdo as well, it’s giving me Audrey Hepburn vibes. Not fussed on anyone else tbh.
Plenty of gorgeous ladies and outfits, my favourites are Sofia Carson and Jenifer Connolly.
Yes I like both of them too
I love all the jewellery and accessories they’re wearing.
Yes the jewellelry and accessories are just gorgeous
Yes they are more lovely than a lot of the gowns
Yes, I always drool at the bling, too!
So many lovely looks and always wonderful to see.
So many outfits that were really out there. I liked most of the make up
Everyone looks amazing! So many gorgeous outfits and the makeup is beautiful
Some are really attractive, others I wonder what they were thinking.
Yes some of them are just to grab attention but that is show business I guess
I agree – some of these outfits are just there to start a conversation
Out of this list my favourite is Mindy Kaling.
Eva Longoria looks amazing, just so beautiful
My hair would never be able to stay up to Danai Gurira. It is like a tower. Not sure I like it much.
Geez Louise they all look amazing!
Whoever wrote this article obviously didn’t watch the show. It’s called the “Champagne Carpet” now. Red carpet is GONE!
Champagne sounds classier lol
apparently red is to be reinstated next time
some famous long time surnames there!
Mindy and Jessica look amazing
I love Michelle Yeoh’s look. I watched her on TV and she looked stunning
She is stunning and such an inspiration!
Michelle Yeoh is my favourite pictured here, she looks amazing
Angela Basset got everything right with this look imo. I love the hair, make-up, dress.
Love that Andie is wearing Blue eyeshadow…..you go girl
Salma Hayek looks hot 🔥
I agree with @Ethelinde Nothing really exciting. I think it’s because I think the Oscars are past their use by date.
Such different looks
Unfortunately, whoever did Andie M’s eyeliner didn’t get the memo to not line the waterline..it would have looked really nice doing a blue Smokey eye instead.
It looks like she accidentally wiped off the outside edge of eyeshadow on her right eye.
Jessica Chastain is sooo glamorous. The hair, the makeup is perfect for her. That sequin dress and the sparkling emerald necklace also compliments her skin tone and makes her look incredible. She rarely goes wrong in the fashion/make-up department.
I like most of them, Sofia looks gorgeous and very sophisticated
Full length shots would have been great to see the full outfits.
Angela in Purple , yesss
It’s hard to pick a fave: I love Mindy, Sofia, Angela, Ashley, Jennifer, Salma & Jessica’s looks!
I see a lot of long gloves &/or bare shoulders with long sleeves.
Emily blunt looks classy
I don’t like any of these, not a fan of bare shoulders either
Bit boring this year. Black and white and boring makeup
yes and cutouts are not flattering on them. I do like Angela’s look in bright purple
Love it!
Always love Emily Blunt, Jennifer Connelly and Jessica Chastain they look absolutely beautiful.
Angela Bassett really rocked her look!
Angela Bassett and Jessica Chastain worse such lovely dresses!
I love Sandra Oh’s face and hair, but I’m not so sure about the necklace or dress.
My favourites are Angela Bassett and Andie MacDowell.
Eva Longoria’s dress is stunning.
I like Michelle Yeoh’s look.
Also, I would have like to see the full shot.
I love Jessica’s look.
Jessica Chastain’s look is my favorite, gosh shes gorgeous
