The 15 Best Oscar Beauty Looks of All Time

While all eyes are certainly on the clothes come Oscar night, an actress’s beauty look carries equal importance, as it’s that finishing touch that can take a dress from beautiful to unforgettable. You can’t remember Michelle Williams’s canary yellow Vera Wang without recalling just how perfectly it matched her crimson red lip. Or how Marion Cotillard’s shimmering scalloped Jean Paul Gaultier dress shone brighter against her glossy side-parted waves. Here, we pick fifteen of the most memorable beauty moments of all time from the Oscars.

Anne Hathaway

Michelle Williams
Her golden waves paired with that unforgettable red lip cemented Michelle Williams as an A-list actress on the red carpet.
