Relive the best Oscars beauty moments throughout the years
Starting from the 60s!
Although everyone remembers who takes home the awards on Oscars night, the world never forgets the gorgeous gown that was worn on the red carpet ahead of the show. This year, everyone will surely be buzzing and waiting to see who will win Best Actress and Actor, but they will also be waiting for the dazzling display of glam that will take place outside the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
For decades, A-listers have put their best fashion foot forward on this special night. In 1962, West Side Story actress Rita Moreno won her first Oscar wearing a gorgeous black-and-gold gown. Five decades later, Salma Hayek showed the world she wasn’t afraid to flaunt her grey hairs. And let’s not forget Jennifer Lopez who never disappoints with her beauty and style.
Below, we highlight the most memorable beauty looks from Oscars night that have gone down in history...
Rita Moreno
In 1962, the Puerto Rican actress won an Oscar for her supporting role in West Side Story. And she won it in style wearing a gown and a bang-centric hairstyle that accentuated her vivid eyeliner.
Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand was so ‘60s while attending the 1969 Oscar Awards ceremony. She styled her hair in a teased-up bob and did a classic mod eyeliner.
Jennifer Lopez
JLo was pretty in mint when she matched her pastel gown with mint-colored eyshadow and fluttery lashes in 2003.
Charlize Theron
How can we forget Charlize Theron’s epic bronzed skin and her so 2004 skinny brows. The star went for a natural makeup look with light, shimmering eyeshadow and blush lips.
Keira Knightley
No one does dramatic eyeshadows quite like Keira Knightley. The British actress went with a navy smokey eye and light lip that paired perfectly with her statement necklace during the 2006 ceremony.
Scarlett Johansson
In 2011, Scarlett Johansson arrived to the star-studded red carpet wearing a maroon sleeveless dress, maroon earrings and—you guessed it—maroon eyeshadow.
Rooney Mara
One of the most daring beauty looks to date is Rooney Mara’s at the 2012 show. The actress wore her hair slicked back with her blunt bangs taking center stage. The jet black hair contrasted with her fair skin and striking red lips, is still memorable.
Penelope Cruz
Another classic bang hairdo at the Oscars came courtesy of the brunette beauty in 2009 when she styled her long tresses in a sleek bun and parted her layered bangs to the side.
Jennifer Lawrence
Sure everyone was talking about Jennifer Lawrence’s stumble when receiving her award in 2013, but the people also couldn’t get enough of her classic red carpet glam that included dark shadow, rosy cheeks and nude pink lips.
Anne Hathaway
The greatest pixie cut of all time goes to Anne Hathaway in 2013. The actress, who won an Oscar that year, also went for a natural makeup look.
Lupita Nyong'o
Lupita Nyong’o 2014 glam exuded regal vibes with a touch of pink gracing her cheeks and lips.
Emma Stone
They say wearing a gold dress to the Oscars maximizes your chances of winning an award. This was the case for Emma Stone who took home the award for Best Actress in 2017 wearing a gorgeous gold gown that was highlighted with a gold shadow and a bold red lip.
Salma Hayek
Many stars tend to dye and hide those pesky gray hairs, but Salma changed the narrative and let her gray hair out for the world to see in 2018.
Amandla Stenberg
Known for her bold fashion, the young actress styled her hair in finger waves at the 2019 show, but with a braided twist that made us want to try and pull off that style.
