The most memorable hair and makeup looks at the Oscars

The precision of this hairstyle is astounding. “The most important component of this look was the gently curved part, which started right above the arch of her brow,” hairstylist Adir Abergel told us.

The Best Actress winner perked-up a sculpted bob with a sexy tan.

Her sheer tank dress turned heads, but her Heidi braids and seriously smoky eyes were worth a second glance.

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that are just so right: Rumpled pixie, coppery shadow, glossy lips. Yes, yes and yes.

Swank’s cropped Boys Don’t Cry hair—for which she won Best Actress—grew into this adorable side-swept pixie just in time for the red carpet.

Driver’s unconventional beauty —tight ringlets, snow-white skin—was a breath of fresh air.

Only Elizabeth Taylor can successfully pair hair this big with blue eye shadow, pink lipstick and heavy rouge.

Some people would get lost in this burst of crystals and feathers. In Cher’s case, it’s the woman that makes the headdress, not vice versa.

For her first of many trips to the Oscars, Streep let her soft blond hair, natural flush, and inimitable acting chops do all the talking.
