With an abundance of stunning beauty looks on the 2016 Oscar’s red carpet I have narrowed the list down to the top 5, in ~no~ particular order.

Olivia Wilde

Not only did Wilde shock the red carpet with a stunning yet risky plunging neckline, but she did so with no mishaps and a fabulous up-do. A thick braid that flows into a low bun is one of my favorite looks. The trick here is to use a Dutch braid not French that way the braid pops and appears larger.

Chrissy Teigen

Teigen strutted her ~pregnant~ stuff with an effortless, natural glow. The neutral face makeup compliments her gown perfectly. However, my favorite is definitely her slightly messy braid. Although it looks more on the casual end she takes the carpet by storm looking more elegant than ever and placing her in the Oscar’s Top 5 Beauty Looks.

Alicia Vikander

It’s safe to say the half up top knot is one of the latest trends. This is a difficult look to pull off for such a large event and while it could have gone terribly wrong Vikander made it incredibly stylish. She kept it extra classy by cleaning up the bun and keeping it tight while letting the rest flow naturally.

Sofia Vegara

Vegara lands a spot on this list because of her confidence to step out of her comfort zone. Her tight, low, middle parted pony was unlike the actress-comedian’s usual flowy loose curls. The look was paired with a gorgeous ruby lip color.

Charlize Theron

My favorite eye make up of the night goes to Theron. While many stars on the carpet rocked a statement look Theron went natural. She opted out of a dark smoky eye and bold lip to compliment her bright dress. The bronze shades in her smoky eye make her green eyes shine while her ever so light pink lip sparkles.
