The Best Beauty Looks From the Oscars 2022

Throughout history, the Academy Awards have always been the pinnacle of full-fledged Hollywood glamour. The Oscars 2022 was no exception, but with tonight’s ceremony marking the return of the first full-on red carpet since the pandemic began, there was a fresh excitement in the air. It was evident in the dramatic fashion, of course, but the harmonizing beauty looks really hit it home.

As soon as Lupita Nyong o stepped onto the red carpet, it was clear that with her sculptural updo, copper-tinged smoky eyes, and shimmering ruby red lips, her look would not only be among the most memorable beauty moments of the Oscars 2022, but will go down in history.

Of course, it’s not the Academy Awards without beauty codes that exude timelessness. Proving the perennial power of a red lip, presenter Tracee Ellis Ross complemented her crimson Carolina Herrera gown with a stamp of deep red. And then there was the smartly dressed Renate Reinsve, star of International Feature Film-nominated The Worst Person in the World, who wore a classic chignon characterized by a deep side part and ultra-sleek finish.

Here, the best beauty looks from the nominees, presenters, and guests at Oscars 2022.
