The 2022 Academy Awards were, ahem, eventful, to say the least. But we’re just here for the beauty – and what a beautiful display of gorgeous gowns and fierce hair and makeup! Throwback natural 90s glam, architectural updos and monochromatic eyeshadows reigned supreme. Here are some of our favourites…

Lupita Nyong’o

This ever-radiant beauty played up her glowing skin with subtle metallic copper shadow and a muted red lip, while letting her living-art structural updo take centre stage.
