The 2025 Oscars’ Best Hair & Makeup Looks
Getty Images/ROBYN BECK / ContributorThe Oscars is the Super Bowl of awards season. For the past several months, stars have been dressing up to the nines for one red carpet event after another — but the March 2 affair, which honors the year’s best in film, is the most esteemed of the bunch. As such, celebs typically bring their fashion A-game. Nominees — including Zoe Saldaña, Mikey Madison, Cynthia Erivo, and Demi Moore — showed up in ‘fits befitting the prestigious award. And although viewers will have plenty of fashion inspo to admire on the red carpet, attention must be paid to stars’ beauty looks as well.If the hair and makeup spotted at the Grammys and Golden Globes were on the more fun and experimental side, the Academy Awards typically showcase more classic glam.
