Oscars 2020: The Best Red Carpet Hair and Makeup Looks


And just like that, awards season is over just as quickly as it began, ending Sunday night with the Oscars 2020. As to be expected with so many phenomenal actors up for nominations (like Laura Dern, Renée Zellweger, and Cynthia Erivo), this year’s Oscars 2020 red carpet looks were some of the most gorgeous in recent memory.

While it’s been a strong season for red carpet hair and makeup, the Oscars are when celebrities bring out all the stops. Think elegant updos, timeless makeup, and a heavy dose of Old Hollywood glamour, which always makes it an evening that sets the tone for the year ahead, especially when it comes to bridal trends.

Mindy Kaling and Chrissy Metz both went for loose, soft waves, while Zazie Beetz opted for half-up style with gorgeous curly bangs. And that was just in the first 20 minutes of the red carpet. Tune in throughout the night as we add our favorite hair and makeup looks from the Oscars red carpet, below.

The Trick Miranda Kerr Swears By for Super Shiny Hair


Since I was little, my mom used to say, “:et your little light shine.” That just meant shine your heart, your light, into the world. I feel like no matter who you are, when you do that, you’re the most beautiful.

Which women are inspiring you the most right now?

My grandmother because she’s the epitome of grace, has a generous spirit, and an infectious laugh.

If you could change one thing about beauty perceptions, what would that be?

Every single person has so much beauty inside of them, and when they feel confident within themselves and comfortable in their own skin, that beauty really can shine through. I just feel like that needs to be captured more in all areas, all shapes and sizes, all backgrounds. When someone’s comfortable in their own skin, they really radiate on the outside.

What’s your favorite way to take a moment for yourself?

I’ve practiced meditation for a long time, so I can just recenter and focus on my breath. Even if I’m in the middle of chaotic situations, I can kind of zone into my quiet place. Obviously it’s great when I can meditate in a quiet, calm place, but it’s not always possible.

How much time do you spend getting ready?

I’ve never timed it, but I have a theory that it takes me seven minutes to get ready from literally in my PJs to out the door. That doesn’t include my shower, though. Let’s say I’ve already done that and cleansed my face. It takes me seven minutes to do my skin-care routine, add some concealer, a little highlighter, and there you go! I’m pretty quick.

What’s your go-to perfume and why?

I don’t do perfumes. For the longest time I’ve been using essential oils, and I really love geranium, neroli, and sandalwood. A friend of mine made a mix for me, and that’s what I use. It’s all organic essential oils. I have a Heart Chakra Aromatherapy with Kora, which is rose otto and sandalwood as well, which is amazing. Even my nine-year-old, Flynn, uses the aromatherapy essential oil. He carries that in his bag at school, so whenever he’s feeling stressed or overwhelmed he puts a little bit of that aromatherapy on because it’s for your heart chakra.

Does Flynn want to try all of your products?

He wants to try everything all the time. If he sees friends who are using something, he’ll be like, “Is that organic? What are you using?” It’s pretty cute.

The Secrets Behind Blake Lively's Hair Transformations in The Rhythm Section


This story contains spoilers for The Rhythm Section. You’ve been warned.

When the trailer for Blake Lively‘s new movie, The Rhythm Section, first dropped I barely recognized her. I’ve spent almost 15 years since I first cried my way through The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in complete fascination of Lively’s hair. Obviously, my admiration has only grown in the time since, through the Gossip Girl years and Lively’s continued big screen career and myriad red carpet appearances.

And yet, those famous long blond waves are distinctly missing from The Rhythm Section, along with her American accent. Instead, Lively sports a number of different looks in the film as her character, Stephanie Patrick, transforms herself from a tortured young woman to an undercover assassin seeking revenge. Yes, it’s quite the narrative, and one that required hair and makeup designer Siân Grigg to oversee an entire team dedicated to handling Lively’s wigs for the film. “She had so many different looks, and they were really important because you absolutely have to believe them,” Grigg says. “Otherwise, it blows her cover.”

Grigg and her team also knew that some of the wigs they chose were supposed to look somewhat fake, as if the character had bought them herself. “We still wanted them to look good, because she was obviously a smart girl and would not put something on her head that looked ridiculous,” she says. “But, also, we had to play that line that it’s a wig she’s bought in a shop.”

Here are the other secrets from set you should know.

Lively Was Very Involved in the Process—and She Wasn’t Vain About It

“Blake was super collaborative and really loves playing around with ideas,” Grigg says, which isn’t always the case when it comes to on-set hair and makeup. “She didn’t care if she looked terrible and didn’t mind how much time it took. She wanted to look absolutely right for the part.” She says the actor is one of those people who can pull off pretty much any color, which she does in the movie. “She’s just a lucky person like that—she’s quite a chameleon, so you can do a lot with her,” Griggs adds.

They luckily had a wig shop in Ireland (where some of the filming took place) that was willing to loan the production about 40 wigs to play with. “We tried so many different types—straight, curly, long, short,” Grigg says. “We had a lot to choose from.”

The First Look Was the Hardest to Nail

The character is in a really rough place in her life at the start of The Rhythm Section and that grounds her journey through the rest of the film. “You really had to believe that she’s completely given up on herself. She was almost like a non-human,” Grigg says. “She was just going through the motions, but she wasn’t really alive. She was just getting through it, really.”

Taraji P. Henson's Biggest Hair Secret Is Under $20


Always wash your makeup off before you go to bed. My mother always told me growing up, “Clean that makeup off your face.” And moisturize. My grandma still moisturizes.

You’re stranded on a desert island and you can have three products. What are you bringing?

Anything from TPH, whatever I can grab at the last minute. Next I’d bring Carmex for my lips—that’s important—and lastly I definitely wouldn’t want to be without Paul Scerri moisturizer for my skin. It’s amazing.

What’s your favorite way to take a moment for yourself?

A massage with my favorite masseuse at the Peninsula in Chicago.

What’s your go-to getting ready music?

It depends. If I’m going on a date, it’s probably R&B. If I’m going out with my girls, it’s probably hip hop. Right now, I’m obsessed with DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, and Cardi B—really any female in hip hop I love. The biggest thing I’ve been rocking a lot lately is Wale’s new album and Fabolous’ “Cold Summer.”

What’s the last Instagram hole you were sucked into?

I go down the rabbit hole on Tiny Kitchen. Oh, my God. Hours. And then there’s another one about tiny dolls. They take little Barbie doll heads and shave them. There are scenarios, like say she went partying all last night, and her hair was all matted and then you’ll see the fingernail try to press it and they’ll go, “No, no, no.” Then they’ll cut all the Barbie hair off. Then they’ll make lace fronts for the Barbie. Look it up. You’ll thank me. Anything tiny makes me feel good.

You have $20 and free roam of a drugstore. What do you buy?

Twenty dollars? I’ve got to make that stretch. Okay. I would probably get lashes. Start with my Ardell Wispies—Demi Wispies #5—and then Carmex. Next I’d grab my Jergens Shea Butter Lotion. I live and die by that stuff. And lastly, probably a great mascara like Maybelline Colossal. I usually keep four or five tubes of that on hand.

If you could change one thing about beauty perceptions, either in Hollywood or social media, what would you like to change?

I would like to change the notion of beauty looking a certain way. There should never be “the most beautiful person in the world.” That’s a lie. I’m just thinking in general, you can’t say this person has the best hair, or this is the most beautiful person. All people are beautiful. All hair is beautiful. Once we accept that, we won’t have people depressed because they don’t look like Instagram models. There shouldn’t be a norm in beauty. I’m different, you’re different, and that’s beautiful.

Who are the women inspiring you most right now?

Issa Rae endlessly inspires me. I love the work Jada Pinkett Smith is doing with her mom and her daughter on Red Table Talk. I think it’s so beautiful to see that dynamic relationship between three generations. And, of course, Michelle Obama, constantly.

2000s Prom Hair Is Cool Again


We haven’t even made it to February and already 2020 is shaping up to be an extremely controversial year for hair. First, we saw the return of the mullet (enough said), and now another trend from the past is back to haunt us: Prom hair.

You know the look. In fact, you probably rocked it at a school dance between the years of 1999 to 2003. It essentially consists of some kind of updo, usually a bun, and the defining trait is the two long, loose pieces of hair in the front, often lovingly referred to as tendrils. If looking at old photos of this hairstyle (captured on a disposable camera, obviously) makes you cringe, I have some bad news for you—because it’s officially the “new” trend on the red carpet. J.Lo, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Margot Robbie, to name just a few, have all recently made an appearance with their front pieces ready to party. And, honestly, I don’t hate it.

“Like all trends and styles, the ones that are cool tend to circle back,” says hairstylist Laura Polko, who did Julia Fox’s look at the Critic’s Choice Awards earlier this month. Whatever your definition of “cool” might be, she definitely has a point: the early-aughts are clearly having a renaissance right now.

As lip gloss, French manis, and low-rise jeans have all rotated back into modern lexicon, it only makes sense that prom hair, as popular as it was at the time, would also re-emerge. Hairstylist Justine Marjan, who often uses ’90s and early ’00s references as inspiration, points to our love for Lizzie McGuire as another example of our nostalgia for simpler times—and piece-y hairstyles.

Some People Really Think Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's Hair Is a Sign They're Getting Back Together


On Sunday night (January 19), America got the reunion they’ve been waiting on for 15 years: Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt hugging and chatting at the SAG Awards, where both of them took home statues.

The internet, myself included, collectively lost its mind over the images of the former couple, whose marriage was a bastion of the early aughts. They broke up in 2005—and I will fully admit I still remember exactly where I was when I heard the news—and both went on to have very high-profile relationships, and in Pitt’s case multiple children with Angelina Jolie. But the nostalgia for their relationship has never truly died down, as evidenced by our reactions to seeing them together again.

In case you have somehow avoided the internet in the past 48 hours, here are the photos that sent us all into a tizzy.

By all accounts, Jen and Brad are friends, have been for years now, and are not getting back together. That, however, has not stopped all of us from projecting our feelings onto them and hoping for a reconciliation. I get it. It feels good, right? We long for a simpler time and perhaps a relationship from our own lives that we still hope might come back around again.

But this being 2020, people have gotten extremely extra with their theories—going so far as to surmise that the similarity of Jen and Brad’s current hair is a sign they’re getting back together. Seriously.

To be fair, the color is extremely similar—and excellent. Those highlights!

And Brad has a long and storied history of styling his glorious head of hair in ways similar to that of his girlfriends. Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we?

Look at those matching arched bangs on Brad and ex-girlfriend Juliette Lewis in 1991.

The Brad and Gwyneth years gave us this iconic hair moment at The Devil’s Own premiere in 1997.

Is it an anecdotally-compelling case? Sure. But the truth is Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are probably never, ever getting back together. Like, ever. Meanwhile, we can all keep dreaming—and take their photos in as inspo for the next time we go to a hair colorist.
