Celebrities took to the red carpet on Sunday, March 2, 2025, for the 97th annual Academy Awards (Oscars). As the biggest night in Hollywood, the Oscars are home to many of the top hair and beauty trends of the season. Here are a few of the ones that caught our eye this year.
Updos
As a red-carpet staple, updos continued to take centre stage at the Oscars and ranged from classic looks including Best Actress winner Mikey Madison’s Audrey Hepburn-inspired bun by Rena Calhoun, and Felicity Jones’s sleek chignon by Bridget Brager, to more intricate variations such as Margaret Qualley’s sculptured woven look by Anna Cofone and Lupita Nyong’o’s pearl-adorned updo by Vernon François.
Lived-In Waves
Soft waves delivered effortless glamour on the Oscars’ red carpet, cementing their timeless appeal. Demi Moore’s cascading waves, styled by Dimitris Giannetos, embodied classic sophistication. Singer-songwriter H.E.R. embraced voluminous golden brown mermaid waves by Briana Mercado. Zoe Saldana’s collarbone-length look, styled by Mara Roszak, featured loose waves elegantly tucked behind the ears for a sleek yet romantic finish.
Retro Curls
Paying homage to Old-Hollywood glam continues to be a popular choice with celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, who rocked sultry Jessica Rabbit curls by Bob Recine, and the sleek 1940s-inspired curls created by Bryce Scarlett for Lily Rose Depp. Actress opted for a more voluminous brushed-out version while singer Lisa wore hers in a half-up, half-down style.
Side-Parted Bob
Side parts are officially back in style as many of the night’s celebrities showed off the elegant detail, especially on bobs. Selena Gomez stunned with a chic take, styled by Renato Campora. Halle Berry wore a ’60s-inspired sleek twist bob with flipped ends by David Stanwell. Red-carpet host Julianne Hough rocked a voluminous blonde bob by Riawna Capri.
Pixies
Shorter haircuts have been getting major love on the red carpet with actress Emma Stone sporting a slicked-back version complete with finger-wave detailing by Roszak, and model Anok Yai rocking a textured pixie with fringe. At the Vanity Fair after-party, influencer Emma Chamberlain debuted an even shorter and choppier blonde pixie.
