The Best Beauty Looks at the 2026 Oscars — See Photos

There’s nothing quite like the Oscars to make us wish that adult proms were a thing. There’s just so much elegant beauty inspo to gain from watching the Academy Awards that it’s a shame we don’t all have our own “biggest night in [your town here]” to recreate it.

That being said, there’s really no reason not to take the best hair, makeup, and nail looks seen on the red carpet and incorporate them into everyday life. Why wait for a wedding when you can emulate Emma Stone’s hair for a Monday all-hands meeting? Or take a photo of Teyana Taylor’s nails to the salon for your very next manicure?

We’re rounding up the most stunning looks of the Oscars, otherwise known as the most anticipated event of award season and the pinnacle of red carpet glamour. If you can’t find your ultimate adult prom dream glam—or just an idea for date night—here, you can’t find it anywhere.

The only thing more luminous than Emma Stone’s sparkling, platinum Louis Vuitton gown is her matching shimmery eye shadow. Topped off with lush lashes, her eyes are arguably the focal point of the seven-time nominee’s makeup look, though we have to shout out her peachy-pink lips and cheeks. And it seems Stone’s side-parted hair may be on its way out of bob territory and into the lob zone, its flippy ends reaching well past the standard chin-length look.
