The 10 Best Beauty Looks at the Oscars 2019

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Arizona chapter.

There were so many beautiful stars wearing such stunning dresses walking down the 2019 Oscars’ Red Carpet. Honestly, it got me jealous for a second before I became completely happy for my favorite stars. Every one had their own look, but here are my top 10 favorite looks from the 2019 Oscars:

01. LADY GAGA

Lady Gaga’s red-carpet look at the Oscars was noted as timeless and classic by many viewers. Both her Alexander McQueen black dress and soft, but timeless makeup gave her a perfect look to accept her Oscar for Best Original Song from her movie A Star Is Born. My favorite thing about Lady Gaga’s style last night was that most of the makeup products she wore were reported to be less than $50. Only Lady Gaga could look this spectacular on a budget.

02. LAURA HARRIER

This year at the 2019 Oscars, Laura Harrier proved the beauty is more than skin deep by going ‘green’ in a pale blue Louis Vuitton dress. Harrier sparkled in the dress’s crystal shards and glass beads that were environmental design standards approved. Harrier and her fans were proud that she was dressed in an outfit that was constructed with eco-friendly, and sustainable materials. 

03. CONSTANCE WU

With a dress that is similar to Beauty and the Beast, of course, Constance Wu stole the eyes of many. Wu wore a beautiful yellow dress created by Versace and paired it with a low wavy ponytail, dangly earring, and bright red lipstick. The Crazy Rich Asians star flaunted gorgeous beauty on the red carpet last night. 

04. EMMA STONE

Emma Stone’s red-carpet look at the 2019 Oscars had her stealing the spotlight. The Nicholas Ghesquière dress was embroidered with pearls, sequins, and beads that took a total a total of 722 hours to complete. That is some dedication Ghesquière had for this beautiful actress.

05. TINA FEY

With Tina Fey opening the Oscars with Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, she needed to look beautiful as she cracked jokes on explaining what they would have done if they were to host the show. No surprise, Tina Fey looked stunning in her elegant blue dress designed by Vera Wang. She’s not only funny but also beautiful, way to go!

06. JENNIFER HUDSON

Although Jennifer Hudson’s performance at the 2019 Oscars received mixed reviews, her Elie Saab’s red gown had one similar reaction: gorgeous. Hudson wore the red gown with sparkling earrings and a tight ponytail that was able to highlight the real beauty of her dress. 

07. SIBI BLAZIC

Standing beside her husband, Christian Bale, as they match in monochrome, Blazic looked flawless on the red carpet. Her black, satin off the shoulder gown was detailed with a white floral design that gave her a gorgeous look. Blazic’s soft, and gorgeous dress allowed for her beauty to make a real appearance at the 2019 Oscars.

08. EMILIA CLARKE

As one of the leading stars for best dressed, Emilia Clarke dressed in a lilac strapless sparkling gown with a flowing train. Her dress that was styled by Balmain gave Clarke a look that took center stage. Clarke paired her beautiful lilac dress with silver jewelry and red lipstick, giving her style a unanimous approval.  

09. AMY POEHLER

Amy Poehler strayed away from the typical gown styled dresses and wore a beautiful black suit to the 2019 Oscars. The suit was noted as a monochromatic dream. Her style even gave her the perfect edge as she took the stage with Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph as they opened the 2019 Oscars, leaving fans wishing they hosted the whole event. 

10. OCTAVIA SPENCER

Octavia Spencer went full sparkle in her stunning blue dress designed by Christian Siriano. Although someone’s comment as to how Octavia Spencer was body positive, for “she knows what she looks good in,” fans of Spencer supported her confidence and beautiful style. I wouldn’t be able to pull off her lovely navy blue dress, so props to you, Octav
