We’ve finally reached the pinnacle of awards season (or, if you’re Moira Rose, Awards Season™). The 2026 Academy Awards take place tonight at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, but some would say the real show is the red carpet that precedes it. Of course, stars have been gearing up to bring the glamor all day long.
Beauty trends are taking center stage in the lead-up to the 98th Academy Awards, from blurred lips at the SAG Actors Awards to forehead curls at the Golden Globes and Grammys. Tonight, we’re seeing more of the same—confirmation that spring beauty trends are going strong.
While the night’s big trends were exciting, don’t forget about the little fashion moments, like Audrey Nuna’s sculptural gold nails, Chase Infiniti’s lilac eyeshadow, and Auli’i Cravalho’s romantic blush placement.
Below, we’re covering the best beauty details you might have missed (but are worth a closer look).
