11 Of Our Favorite Beauty Moments From Tonight’s Oscars

Classy looks all around

by Taylor Bryant

We tuned in to the 89th annual Academy Awards expecting to be bored with the beauty looks. This isn't a show exactly known for being the most exciting, both on the red carpet and off. It’s the highest accolade actors and actresses can receive—for many, basically why most of them get into the business—so the focus is, understandably, on highlighting their talent. Well, this year’s hair and makeup deserves an honorable mention, at the least.

Olivia Culpo’s lavender smokey eye is a standout. Janelle Monae’s pixie cut, which she crowned with a gorgeous gold headband is another favorite. Naomie Harris continued the red eyeshadow trend and Ruth Negga also tapped in with a very now monochromatic moment.

We highlight those, and others, ahead. Stay classy, Oscars.
