The 11 best beauty moments from the Oscars 2022

The 'night of nights' for Hollywood, the Academy Awards 94th edition was celebrated last night. Amidst stunning showcases of fashion, iconic reunions, walks down memory lane, and even non-scripted drama, we were delighted by the celebrities that shone on the red carpet.

Yet, while fashion might've been the main star of the night, beauty was its unmissable plus one. So in between a sea of perfect polished soft glam, and quaffed strands, we compile our top makeup, hair and nail moments for the night.

We start strong with the Bailey sisters looking like literal goddesses sporting towers of hair and carefully placed eyeshadow while walking down the carpet. Remember when it was rumoured they would play the Muses in a live-action of Disney's Hercules? Well, they're definitely up for the task.

Billie Eilish managed to create a look that is simultaneously minimalistic and strong, dark and bold. After a hot moment as a blonde, we doubt that the jet black dye is a permanent choice (wigs are, after all, a poorly kept red carpet styling tool secret). For the night, she channelled a gothic Marilyn Monroe as she hit the red carpet.

After her latest antics in Gotham, my visual perception of Zoë Kravitz was tinted by her role as Catwoman in The Batman. Therefore I must confess this sweet, soft, polished look swept me off my feet for all the right reasons. The short bangs and perfectly sleeked hair, the nude-ish lip and soft blush is a modern reinterpretation of Audrey Hepburn's iconic look.

While the colour is barely there, the cut of Megan Thee Stallion's XXL nails is what caught our attention. Tilted at an asymmetrical slant, these claws were cut out for the red carpet. That's all I have to say.

Go ahead, zoom in. I sure did. I wasn't even sure if it was my 02:00 eyes or the resolution on my laptop that was playing games on me. But no, Vanessa Hudgens really walked down the carpet with a liner sharp enough to cut diamonds. Simply iconic.

Lupita Nyong'o's carefully constructed, uniquely layered, strategically crafted, up do had us gasping. With art-like attention the perfectly placed braids were arguably one of the best looks of the night.

Sometimes a rugged beard takes away from classic, traditional, clean aesthetic. However, it was a pleasant surprise to see Brad Goreski sporting his stylish version of a five o'clock shadow in the carpet — proving that you can actually look sharp while keeping the fuzz.

Lengths of hair where served by Demi Singleton in a single fishtail braid that extended down to her lower back.

Not a single hair out of place and not a single pigment smudged – this was the polished perfection of Sofia Carson's beauty look for the night. With just a bit of shadow, a nude lip with a strong, soft-edged black liner she proved classic makeup and timeless beauty never goes out of fashion.

Diane Guerrero said 'hold my hairspray' as the latin diva strutted down the carpet with a hair-do that was serving quintessential latin volume.

Finally, it's not a red carpet without a classic soft, pink-blushed glam and Zuri Hall was the best example of this trend for the night.
