The Best Beauty Moments From the 2025 Golden Globes & How to Recreate Them

Zendaya

Zendaya showed off new bling (in the form of an engagement ring) and a new ‘do at the 2025 ceremony, channeling Old Hollywood glamour with retro curls.

To create the look, celebrity hairstylist Coree Moreno first sprayed Nexxus Epic Shine Anti Humidity Spray “to set the foundation of the look” before following up with Nexxus Volume Medium Hold Mousse “from root to tip on damp hair for added volume. Afterward, he used an “old school roller set for mega volume” before drying Zendaya’s mane under a hooded dryer. After letting the hair get 90 percent dry, he removed the rollers but kept Zendaya’s strands pin curled. He then used the ghd Helios Professional Hair Dryer with the ghd Professional Diffuser “on the coldest temperature to lock in the shine.” Next, Moreno used the ghd Curve Classic Curl Iron to remove roller dents. To add fullness, Moreno added in BELLAMI Hair’s Silk Seam Clip-In Extensions in the colors Chestnut Brown and Chocolate Brown. To lock the curls in place, he finished with Nexxus Comb Thru Flexible Hold Hair Spray.

Emma Stone

Stone worked with not one but two glam pros to get her perfect pixie. Her longtime colorist, Tracey Cunningham, gave her a “nutmeg” makeover, which she said is a “smidge” darker than Stone’s “usual color.” She then gave her color-treated strands some love with Olaplex’s No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, No. 7 Bonding Oil, and No. 6 Bond Smoother. Mara Roszak took it from there, trimming and shaping Stone’s pixie to make it a bit softer. She then went in with the new L’Oreal Airlight Pro to “set the direction for the hair to lay.” Afterward, she added “definition” and “hold” with a pea-sized amount of her own ROZ Haircare Evergreen Style Cream to style.

Selena Gomez

Gomez channeled Cinderella with her blue Prada dress and her sculptural hair, which was brought to life by Renato Campora. To get the look, he started by sectioning Gomez’s hair into 2-inch parts to blow dry with ghd’s Natural Bristle Round Brush and ghd’s Helios Hair Dryer—which was also used on Zendaya. Campora blow dried the front left section upwards and backwards then upwards and forward. Next, he divided Gomez’s hair into 2-inch horizontal sections and curled the bottom with ghd’s Curve Classic Curl Iron. He used ghd’s Curve Soft Curl Iron on the top. “Two different size irons allows the top section to lay beautifully on the tighter bottom waves,” he explained. After letting Gomez’s hair cool for 15 minutes, he brushed it through with ghd’s Dresser Oval Dressing Brush for a “smooth, voluminous finish.”

Nicole Kidman

There’s nothing more fun and flirty than a high ponytail. The look was perfect for Kidman considering she received a Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture—Drama nomination for her role in Babygirl, in which she portrays Romy, a high-powered CEO who has a torrid affair with an intern (Harris Dickinson). Celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel worked his magic on Kidman’s mane, adding in BELLAMI’s Silk Seam Clip-ins in the shade Golden Hour Blonde to create the big bouncy look. “We drew inspiration from the iconic styles of the 1960s and 1970s, with a nod to the Studio 54 era,” Adir said. Before adding in the extensions, he prepped Kidman’s strands with Virtue’s new Scalp Remedy Shampoo, Scalp Remedy Conditioner, Volumizing Primer, and Damage Reverse Serum. Once prep was complete, Adir began the styling process using the Denman Brush and Kristin Ess Soft Volume Blow Dry Brush. Afterward, he pulled the hair into a tight high ponytail and added in the extensions. Adir created curls with the Kristin Ess Titanium Curling Iron and applied Virtue’s Healing Oil to give the look “red carpet-worthy shine.”

Zoë Kravitz

Kravitz looked smooth and sleek thanks to a slicked-back bun done by celebrity hairstylist Nikki Nelms, who used all Paul Mitchell products. Nelms prepped Kravitz’s strands using the brand’s Super Smooth Shampoo and Super Smooth Conditioner. She then blow dried the actress’ locks using the Paul Mitchell Neuro+ Hair Dryer and straightened her tresses with the Smooth+ Ceramic Flatiron. Next, Nelms used the label’s Super Skinny Serum to tame frizz and add shine. Once her hair was in the knot, Nelms finished with the Paul Mitchell Classic Freeze and Shine Super Spray. The pulled-back look allowed Kravitz’s bespoke Saint Laurent gown to be the main character.

Anna Sawai 

Sawai donned a natural glow thanks to Dior Beauty. It literally looked like she woke up like that. Delicate, dainty, and very demure. For her complexion, makeup artist Yukari Obayashi used the Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick in 2N as well as the Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick in 2.5 N. Obayashi then went in with the Dior Forever Skin Correct in 2N followed by the Dior Forever Skin Contour Stick in 01 Light and the Dior Forever Skin Contour Stick in 02 Tan. Afterward, Obayashi used the Dior Cushion Powder in 030 Medium and the Dior Rouge Blush Colour & Glow in 257 Dioriviera. On Sawai’s eyes, Obayashi used Diorshow 5 Couleurs in 429 Toile de Jouy, Diorshow On Stage Liner in 096 Satin Black, Diorshow Mascara in 090 Black, and Diorshow Brow Styler in 03 Brown. On Sawai’s lips, Obayashi created the perfect pout with Rouge Dior Contour in 229 Rose Spice and Dior Addict Lip Glow in 038 Rose Nude.

Quinta Brunson

Brunson’s manicure perfectly matched her custom Roberto Cavalli dress. Manicurist Temeka Jackson called the look “golden pop nail glam” and used all Aprés Nail products. She used Gel-X Tips in Natural Stiletto Medium, filing them down to a sharp point. Next, Jackson buffed and cleaned the nail with acetone. She then added on coat of Overdone from Aprés Light & Shadow Collection and one coat of Cateye. She let it cure for 30 seconds each using the brand’s Beta Led Lamp. She then went in with one coat of Non-Wipe Matte Top Gelcoat and cured for another 30 seconds. Afterward, Jackson used the brand’s Thin Art Brush, creating texture using Diamond Gel only on the tips. She then applied the design one nail at a time and cured with the Omni Light. She finished with a layer of Non-Wipe Glossy Top Gelcoat.

Jonathan van Ness

Van Ness had flawless skin thanks to celebrity esthetician Melissa Imperial and a few Solawave products. Imperial used the brand’s 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand with LightBoost Activating Serum to give van Ness a sculpted glow.

Nikki Glaser

Glaser, a.k.a. the evening’s emcee, was a golden goddess. Celebrity makeup artist Jenna Kristina partnered with Naked Sundays to give the comedian a sunkissed glow. Kristina prepped Glaser’s skin with the Naked Sundays Cabana Crème SPF 50 Hydrating Sunscreen Moisturizer that features niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. “The skin is left hydrated but with a semi-matte finish,” Kristina explained. She added some color with the Naked Sundays CabanaGlow SPF50 Mineral Glow Serum Drops in Bronze. Once her makeup was completed, Kristina sprayed Naked Sundays Hydrating Glow Mist Top Up Spray to “protect” the beat.

Cooper Koch

Koch was the walking definition of perfect. “For Cooper’s Golden Globes look, we went for a classic look to really let his great skin glow through,” celebrity groomer Miho Suzuki said. To enhance Koch’s natural aura, Suzuki used the Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand with the LightBoost Activating Serum. “I applied the Lightboost Activating Serum on the target area and immediately massaged in circular motions with light pressure using the wand. I find that the vibration helps to awaken the skin in the best way possible. This helps with depuffing and adding a subtle radiant glow to prep for the following steps,” Suzuki added.

Cynthia Erivo

When it comes to Erivo, we can count on her to give us two things: fashion and a bomb manicure. As she sparkled in her custom Louis Vuitton gown on the red carpet, her nails did too. It took five hours for Erivo’s go-to nail tech, Los Angeles-based pro Mycah Dior, to create a set of tantalizing talons that featured multiple colors, texture, and 3D appliques. Underneath the dazzling stones on her coffin-shaped acrylics, Dior created a “quartz marble design” using two coats of OPI‘s Reoccurin’ Gleam (a new 2025 shade) before going in with a matte topcoat and white ink pigment, which she dispersed across the nail, creating diagonal and imperfect lines all over. Next, Dior used acetone to spread the ink with a thick nail brush to create “gemstone veins.” Dior repeated this step a few times before adding in OPI’s Princesses Rule and Miami Beet to “different parts of the nail.” Afterward, she added OPI’s Alpine Snow with a thin liner brush for “deeper dimension and depth.” She also used OPI’s Kyoto Pearl, Rated Pea-G, and Fiyero’s My Mani.

Keri Russell

Russell’s glam was a breath of fresh air. She complemented her fierce Stéphane Rolland suit dress, which featured a plunging neckline and a cinched waist, with a beat that consisted of only Merit products. Makeup artist Tina Turnbow prepped the star’s skin with the Great Skin Moisturizer (for “all-day hydration”) before going in with The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick in Sandstone. She used the Clean Lash Lengthening Mascara “to make her eyes stand out” and applied the new Flush Balm in Lusitano “to create a perfect color on her cheeks.” Turnbow finished the look with the Day Glow Highlighting Balm in Bounce, Citrine, and Cava.

Kaley Cuoco

Cuoco is a clean-girl queen. The actress loves a no-makeup makeup glow, and she remained true to her aesthetic at the Golden Globes. Cuoco looked angelic in a snowy white Chanel gown, which came from the fashion house’s fall/winter 2001 collection. She paired this with a shaggy but chic updo and a soft beat. Celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg gave Cuoco a fresh-faced glow using Fig. 1 products. She started with the brand’s Micellar Oil Cleanser and then went in with the Hydrating & Balancing Toner. To brighten Cuoco’s under eyes, she used the Vitamin C Eye Cream. Greenberg finished the prep with the Ceramide Moisturizer.
