Amy Adams evoked images of Grace Kelly’s classic beauty; Jessica Biel’s barely there makeup suited her perfectly while her dazzling jewelry provided all the glamour the Oscars call for. Here’s a look at the makeup and hairstyles of this year’s Academy Awards. 

 

Cate Blanchett

Blanchett was a vision of loveliness with soft, golden waves and white opal chandelier earrings.

Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde’s well-accentuated almond-shaped eyes and radiant skin were her best assets to complement the baby bump and mother-to-be glow. Topped off with a slightly messy up-do and those drop earrings—just perfect.

Amy Adams

Evoking images of the late Grace Kelly, Amy Adams kept the hair simple and classic to show off the earrings and sculptural column gown.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie’s features are bold enough that she almost doesn’t need makeup. This neutral palette is enough to highlight her great eyes and bone structure, while the hair is simple as can be.

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson was elegant with her flowing, golden locks and simple makeup to show off her smiley eyes. Happiness is always a good accessory.

Lupita Nyong'o

Pretty with pink lips and a pastel gown, Lupita Nyong'o was the princess of the ball, except she didn’t lose her slipper and didn’t have to rush off when the clock struck midnight.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence’s simple hair and makeup couldn’t get any less fussy, but it was just what her red gown and lovely jewels asked for.

Charlize Theron

Much like Lawrence, Charlize Theron’s minimal makeup and hair complemented her dramatic gown, a gown she carried gracefully with her great stature. Her smile was all she needed.

Jessica Biel

With glowing skin like Jessica Biel’s, it’s hard to imagine any other look than the neutral-toned lips and eyes she arrived on the red carpet with Sunday. Her droopy earrings and diamond necklace added Oscars-style glamour to her natural look.

Anna Kendrick

Subtle, smoky eyes and matte coral lips completed Anna Kendrick’s lovely modern version of the 1920’s flapper look, achieved with swinging Art Deco earrings and a simple side part.
