The films nominated for an Academy award this year made us laugh, cry, and kept us on the edge of our seats. Now, we're ready to go through all the same emotions for the 2025 Oscar Awards—and not just for the heartfelt speeches and red carpet camaraderie…we're here for the looks.

Tonight, Hollywood gathers to flex its best hair, makeup, and nail looks. The best part? They're not afraid to pull out daring out-of-the-box looks. Some celebs choose to keep it classic, which we don't mind at all—simple, understated glam reminiscent of eras past can ellicit just as many ooh and ahs as the bold stuff.

While the Academy has done the hard work of deciding which films deserve an Oscar, we're here to do the equally arduous task of awarding the best beauty looks of the 2025 Oscar awards, below. This year's lineup includes Lupita Nyong'o, Ariana Grande, and Elle Fanning among many others.

This is Ariana Grande's first time being nominated for an Oscar (for Supporting Actress in Wicked), and she came dressed to win. Her sleek middle-parted bun and fluttery lashes are a timeless yet captivating look.
