The Best Beauty Looks At The 2022 Oscars Signal A Return To Classic Glam
Simply stunning.
Arguably the most glamorous night in Hollywood, the 94th Annual Academy Awards is a prime opportunity for celebrities to show off their very best looks from head to toe. While there’s certainly an expectation for stars to pull out all the stops when it comes to their fashion, many opt for classic, understated beauty choices. This way, the clothes can do the talking, while the makeup and hair play supporting roles. And if the Oscars has taught us anything, it’s that these parts are more than capable of stealing the show. While the events tend to lean more toward classic glam, the best 2022 Oscars red carpet beauty looks saw a healthy mix of timeless elegance and bold trends.
Stars like Jessica Chastain and Ariana DeBose made a strong case for natural, glowing makeup looks and simple hairstyles, while others like Lupita Nyong'o and Rita Moreno pulled out much more daring looks. Laverne Cox and Zendaya even surprised everyone with jaw-dropping styles that may just indicate upcoming beauty trends for spring and summer (gilded nails, anyone?). Ahead, get the scoop on the best beauty looks from this year’s Oscars red carpet and brace yourself for some seriously stunning moments from the biggest stars.
