Since the late 1920s, the Academy Awards has been the most prestigious awards in the film industry. And, to complement the show, the red carpet has long been a call for actors’s most glamorous beauty looks. This year, the nominees proved just that once again.
Cynthia Erivo, nominated for Best Actress for her role in Wicked, wore a gold clock, not on her wrist, but on her nails. Zoe Saldana has been on a winning streak this awards season, and tonight, the Best Supporting Actress nominee arrived in a skinimalist look with delicate Hollywood waves. As for Whoopi Goldberg, a deep, almost black lip held all the depth against her reflective gown.
Supermodel Anok Yai attended in a jet black pixie cut, which juxtaposed her light nude lip and manicure. Both Halle Berry and Da’Vine Joy Raldolph etched out coiffed, copper bobs, which went with their oval, metallic-tipped nails. Meanwhile, a quiet touch of blush and liner encircled eyes completed Queen Latifah’s look.
For all the best beauty moments on this year’s Oscars red carpet, see below.
