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

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

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.

Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner showed off her voluminous hair with subtle caramel highlights and a sweeping side-part—the latter will undoubtedly translate well into this summer’s holiday hair looks.

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.
