The 14 Best Beauty Looks on the 2015 Golden Globes Red Carpet

Leave it to Lupita Nyong’o to defy our expectations for red-carpet hair and makeup once again: She may not have been nominated for an award at the 2015 Golden Globes, but the actress laid claim to her title as our favorite rule-breaker for the second year in a row by matching her Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress with a more-is-more swirl of lilac eyeshadow, a swipe of cool pink lipstick, and a knockout crop of grown-out curls. In what may have been the other surprise beauty statement of the night, Lorde varied from her signature goth plum lip by reaching for a brighter, bolder shade of crimson to wear with her sleek, straight ponytail. Meanwhile, Emma Stone and Julianne Moore also embraced a hint of high-glam spirit: Rather than tone down their makeup, they went for sharply shaded smoky eye makeup and stained lips that upped the impact of their flashing metallic dresses, while a newly pregnant Keira Knightley was radiant with a wash of blush and rich berry lips. She wasn’t the only English rose who stood out from the pack: Fellow Brits Rosamund Pike, Sienna Miller, and Emily Blunt were amongst the evening’s most striking invitees—reimagining the traditional red-carpet beauty formula with easy hair, supernatural skin, and a healthy glow that felt like a breathe of fresh air. Proof that all you really need to shine on the red carpet may be a few swipes of mascara—and the right moisturizer.
