Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie also delivered another iconic beauty moment on the red carpet, care of makeup artist Pati Dubroff, hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, and nail artist Tom Bachik. To complement the Barbie actress’ gown, Pati used all Chanel Beauty products to paint Margot’s face in neutrals and soft touches of rose, while Bryce put her blonde locks in a romantic twist. Finally, for Margot’s manicure, Tom said in a post that they “wanted the nails to be tonal to her skin to help narrow the nail and elongate the fingers, almost mannequin-esque.”

Billie Eilish
Similar to her Golden Globes look, Billie Eilish donned specs from Oliver Peoples. This time, her specs were tinted and paired nicely with her smudged black eyeliner and clipped-back hair. Apart from the eyeliner, makeup artist Emily Cheng kept Billie’s makeup look clean and skin-focused with a swipe of pink blush and clear gloss over the top of her lips. Likewise, the singer’s nails were kept clean and free of color or extensions.
Dua Lipa
Another entry to the red hair and rosette trends is Dua Lipa, who sported a dark cherry manicure to match her dress, hair, and makeup. Notably, behind her chic slicked-back and side-swept hairdo is London-based hairstylist Peter Lux, who also did her hair for the recently concluded Golden Globes.

Nominated for her role in The Color Purple, actress Danielle Brooks came dressed to the nines wearing Monsoori. Her glam team, made up of hairstylist Tish Celestine and makeup artist Rebekah Aladdin, did well to complement the gown by giving her the doll treatment with a classic flipped bob, skin-focused makeup, and sheer pink lips.
Elizabeth Debicki
Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series winner Elizabeth Debicki also caught our attention. From her glamorous, tousled waves and smokey eyeshadow to her soft pink lips and pale pink manicure, Elizabeth was a vision of elegance. Behind her red carpet glamor are hairstylist Gregory Russell, makeup artist Georgie Eisdell, and nail artist Yoko Sakakura.
Camila Morrone
Continuing the trend for soft pink hues and neutrals, Camila Morrone came dressed in Chanel and a 60s-inspired beauty look. Hairstylist Renato Campora with assistant Sinaïa Campora gave the actress fluffy curls, while makeup artist Mary Phillips used all Chanel Beauty products to give her flushed cheeks and a sharp wing. According to Mary, what you see on Camila’s lips, in particular, is the Le Crayon Lèvres Longwear Lip Pencil in the shade 162 Nude Brun and 31 Le Rouge Lipstick in Rouge Beige, which complemented her pearlescent manicure nicely.

Quinta Brunson
A fan favorite for her consistent red carpet glam, Quinta Brunson turned heads wearing Georges Hobeika. We have hairstylist Alexander Armand to thank for Quinta’s updo and Kasha Lassien for her glittering makeup look. Notably, to create the metallic smokey eye, Kasha used the Lightwork V and Groundwork Palettes from Danessa Myricks Beauty.
Greta Lee
Another returning entry to our list of best beauty looks is actress Greta Lee, who stunned in a men’s Loewe ensemble. She worked again with makeup artist Naoko Sofia Patrizia Scintu, who used products from MERIT this time. On her lips specifically are the Signature Lip Matte in Antibes and Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil In Bel Air. Responsible for the wet-look lob is hairstylist Takuya Yamaguchi, and for the flawless natural-looking manicure, nail artist Jolene Brodeur.
Emma Stone
Last but not least is Emma Stone, the winner of the Critics Choice Movie Award for Best Actress. Inspired by Old Hollywood, hair stylist Mara Roszak gave the actress a woven bun with a modern twist, while makeup artist Rachel Goodwin used Charlotte Tilbury products to give her a radiant glow. The standout makeup detail here is the lip color, which is thanks to Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution Lipstick and Collagen Lip Bath in “Walk of No Shame.” Finally, nail artist Emi Kudo topped off the whole look with a manicure she dubbed a milky apricot shade, made using OPI GelColor in Samoan Sand and OPI GelColor in Funny Bunny.
