Anok Yai

Anok Yai never misses and her presence on the red carpet is the definition of show-stopping. Her gorgeous pixie cut paired with her peachy gown highlights her natural beauty.

Rachel Sennott

The queen of the pout herself, Rachel Sennott, rocked a soft glam that felt very Brat. The best friend of Charli XCX wore glowing highlighter, rosy cheeks and a subtle contour.

Lisa

The White Lotus star and K-pop sensation Lisa dazzled the red carpet with sleek bangs, pretty eyeliner and a pretty pink lip that complemented her custom ensemble.

Ariana Grande

A tribute to the film she's nominated for, Ariana Grande's makeup perfectly matched her custom Schiaparelli dress, creating a blend of harmony and elegance. Her soft, glowing look came courtesy of her makeup brand, r.e.m. beauty.

Lupita N'yongo

Oscar darling Lupita Nyong'o graced the red carpet in custom Chanel, with her hair and makeup perfectly coordinated by MUA Nick Barose, who ensured every detail worked in harmony with each other.

"To complement Lupita's Haute Couture gown, which was adorned with beautiful, iridescent pearl details, I drew my inspiration from the ultra-glamorous '90s Chanel runway shows," he said in a press statement. "I worked to play up both the eyes and the lips, for extra drama. Since the overall look was monochromatic pearls, I also added pops of color with pearlized highlight into the makeup look."

Cynthia Erivo

"Tonight’s look was our one final nod to Elphaba and Oz, to close out a Wicked, Part 1. Cynthia Erivo has always talked about the angles that Elphaba exists within," said MUA Joanna Simkin in a press statement. She used all Clinique products to achieve Erivo's radiant look, including the brand's "Gel Tech" Eyeliner and "High-Fi" Full Volume Mascara.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore's flowing curls were inspired by, well, her. "My reference was an iconic shoot [she] did for the cover of Vogue in the early '00s, shot by Mario Testino," stylist Dimitris Giannetos said in a press release."[She] is wearing a beautiful Armani Privé dress. So, for her hair, I wanted it to be glamorous but at the same time powerful — like Moore's personality. Timeless." As for her makeup, her entire glam was provided by Charlotte Tilbury MUA Sofia Tilbury.

Doja Cat

Doja Cat always turns heads and her Academy Awards look was no exception. With her platinum blonde hair, use of eyeliner and soft pink lipstick, she made quite a statement.

Miley Cyrus

Just when we thought Miley Cyrus could not get any edgier with her beauty looks, she walks the red carpet and dons an incredible bleach brow. Paired with a brown smoky eye and a nude lip, she exudes a beautiful essence.

Mikey Madison

Our Anora, Mikey Madison, went for classic glamour, as stylist Rena Calhoun teamed up with Tangle Tweezer, Shark Beauty and Bumble & Bumble to pull her hair back into a beautiful bun.

"Madison's Oscar look today was meant to feel elegant and timeless yet simple. I wanted to incorporate the bow into the structural details of the hair," Calhoun said in a press statement. "The bun is sculpted in a way that emulates the softness of a ribbon. Then, once dry, I twisted the hair into a ribboning updo, continuing to work sections of the hair to create shape."
