#MetroBeautyWatch: The Best Beauty Looks From The Oscars 2020
It’s the biggest awards show of the season, and these stars saved the best for last!
Just like that, awards season reached its peak with the 2020 Oscars that just happened earlier today—with news-making winners like Korean Director Bong Joon Ho of hit movie Parasite bagging the major awards, and Joaquin Phoenix winning Best Actor for his role in Joker. Hollywood A-listers arrived at the 92nd Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to once again celebrate outstanding talent in the film world.
When we think about the BAFTAs, Grammy Awards, SAG Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and the red carpet looks that came from them, nothing feels more classic and glamorous than the Oscars, the longest-running awards show in history. More often than not, a night at the Oscars means seeing attendees going the classic, fail-safe route—with an array of sparkling gowns, red lips, and Old Hollywood updos.
The Oscars red carpet symbolizes stature and achievement in the industry, and is not one to showcase outrageous looks, but the few who did take beauty risks tonight wowed and served statements worth taking note of, especially in the hair department. From Lucy Boynton's wavy hair studded with pearls to Zazie Beetz half-up with curly bangs, this evening certainly bought hair and makeup inspiration for the upcoming years.
Scroll through our gallery below to see the beauty looks we love:
