The 96th annual Academy Awards (Oscars) were held on Sunday, March 10th at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the biggest night in film and the highlight of awards season honoured this year’s winners and featured musical performances, emotional speeches and even a few laughs.
Movie stars and musicians went full glam for Hollywood’s big night. Here are a few of our favourite hair and beauty looks.
Zendaya
“With an Old-Hollywood take on the lob, Zendaya radiated on the red carpet with her bouncy, shiny waves complete with a clean side part. Celebrity hairstylist Tai Simon used Joico products to create the look, which perfectly complimented the actress and presenter’s pink and black Armani Privé gown.” — Veronica Boodhan, editorial director
Emily Blunt
“Best Supporting Actress nominee Emily Blunt rocked a lived-in updo by celebrity hairstylist Laini Reeves. To create what Reeves calls the ‘Grecian look,’ she used hair extensions to create a fishtail braid and added it to Blunt’s hair for a fuller finish. The look was paired with a beaded Schiaparelli gown with floating shoulders that has very quickly become one of the most talked about looks from the carpet.” — Lauren Farrugia, sales and editorial coordinator
Florence Pugh
“Florence Pugh was among the cast of Oppenheimer who dazzled on the Oscars red carpet. Styled by celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel, Pugh flaunted a chic side-parted bob, showcasing a care-free and lived-in yet glamorous look that exuded cool girl vibes. Completing her ensemble was a stunning silver Del Core dress, featuring a sculpted sheer bodice covered with delicate beading.” — Shanice Romelus, digital specialist
Billie Eilish
“I guess it should come as no surprise that Oscar-winning singer-songwriter Billie Eilish decided to rock a big, voluminous blowout for Hollywood’s biggest night in film. It was quite the departure from her past awards season looks this year that have demonstrated her love of fashion shades. Eilish kept things classic and timeless with her dark brunette colour and cascading waves. As for her makeup, she embraced a soft touch of colour with peachy pink tones.” — Veronica Boodhan, editorial director
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan
“For her Oscar debut, Canadian actress Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and her hairstylist, Priya Kumari Bilkhu, played into the messy updo trend that has been all over social media as of late. The look featured face-framing pieces that were the perfect addition to Ramakrishnan’s black and white gown by Zuhair Murad.” — Lauren Farrugia, sales and editorial coordinator
Vanessa Hudgens
“Oscars Red Carpet host Vanessa Hudgens made a memorable entrance to this year’s event by announcing her pregnancy! She elegantly showcased her baby bump in a floor length, black Vera Wang gown with a turtleneck. Celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano crafted a sleek half up, half down hairstyle that was achieved with the use of hair extensions.” — Shanice Romelus, digital specialist
Hailee Steinfeld
“Hailee Steinfeld was the epitome of ethereal in a Grecian pastel blue Elie Saab Couture gown, complete with floral appliques on the bodice and sleeves. While the singer and actress often wears her hair in an updo for awards season, this sleek side-parted low bun by celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons caught my eye as it’s sure to be an inspiration to many this upcoming bridal season.” — Veronica Boodhan, editorial director
Lupita Nyong’o
“Covered in glitter, Lupita Nyong’o radiated natural beauty on the Oscars red carpet. Styled by celebrity hairstylist Vernon François, her natural hair texture was beautifully defined and enhanced with added shine to create an elegant look. The Oscar-winning actress stunned in a glittering periwinkle Armani Privé custom gown that featured an abundance of glitzy details including feathers, jewels and a plunging neckline to tie her look together.” — Shanice Romelus, digital specialist
Bradley Cooper
“Best Actor nominee Bradley Cooper changed things up, opting for a shorter look for this year’s awards. His hair was cut and styled by celebrity men’s grooming expert Natalia Bruschi, who created the look by mostly point-cutting the hair before styling it for a lived-in and natural finish that was perfectly juxtaposed by Cooper’s ’70s-inspired Louis Vuitton suit.” — Lauren Farrugia, sales and editorial coordinator
Dominic Sessa
“Known for his breakout role in the Best Picture nominated film The Holdovers, Dominic Sessa was dressed to impress on the Oscars red carpet. Celebrity hairstylist Melissa DeZarate enhanced his natural curl pattern and created an effortless tousled look that exuded a ’70s-inspired aesthetic. The overall look was perfectly complemented by a clean and sharp, black velvet Tom Ford tuxedo.” — Shanice Romelus, digital specialist
