2019 Oscars Beauty Looks We Can't Stop Talking About
Shutterstock. Design: Ashley Britton/STYLECASTER.

The biggest night of award season, the 2019 Oscars, has finally arrived. And much to our relief, the red carpet isn’t a complete disappointment. It’s expected that nominees including Lady Gaga, Regina King and others would turn up and turn out their fiercest hair and makeup looks. However, they aren’t the only ones we’re keeping our eye out for.

More often than not, it’s other attendees that also command our attention with beauty looks worthy of a standing ovation. Sure, it’s already been a night of standout fashion, from Awkwafina’s power suit to Amandla Stenberg’s fringe gown to Constance Wu’s flowy yellow frock. But we’d be remiss to completely overlook the beauty looks that help bring these high glam moments full circle. Tonight, it’s all about classic or throwback hairstyles with an updated twist and fresh, clean makeup. Ahead, the ladies checking off both boxes and making it look effortless.
