Beauty at the Oscars

Va va voom

Jennifer Garner made heads turn in a stunning cobalt blue Atelier Versace gown. But what was more mesmerising was her brunette locks styled in loose waves and worn with a deep part. She added a charcoal liner, a nude lip and a touch of blush for the sultry finish.

Glow baby glow

Lupita Nyong’O has envy worthy skin and she knows it. The actress went for a navy blue liner on her eyes and a nude gloss for the pout, letting her skin shine through. Her braided hair do was accented with gold thread that perfectly complemented her gold Atelier Versace gown.

Bold and beautiful

Taraji P Henson loves to make a statement on the red carpet. And this year was no exception. The actress flaunted a black sheer panelled gown with a thigh high slit. She wore her hair in a sleek asymmetrical lob, metallic eyeshadow and a deep plum lip colour finished off the look.

Big hair, don’t care

Jennifer Lawrence gave a shout out to the 90s with her big curls do. She went equally bold with her make-up, choosing to highlight both her eyes and lips. A dark winged liner look made her eyes pop, while a brick red colour stained her pout.

Flaunting her age

Salma Hayek is 50 plus and not afraid to show it. She pulled back her hair in a casual low chignon with a few strands framing her face. But more importantly she let her grey hairs peek through. She wore a deep berry lip that complemented her lavender gown.

Knot too shabby

Trust Zendaya to the take top knot and give it an elegant red carpet worthy spin. She pulled back her long tresses in a tight top knot, letting her diamond danglers take centre stage. A brown smokey eye and some bronzer with a nude lip worked beautifully with her Grecian one-shoulder chiffon gown.
