From softly diffused red lips to sculpted rosy cheeks and bold eye palettes, the Oscars 2026 red carpet delivered a masterclass in modern glamour.

This year’s standout looks came courtesy of two luxury beauty houses. CHANEL artists created luminous, skin-first makeup for Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor and Gracie Abrams, while La Beauté Louis Vuitton debuted sophisticated colour stories worn by Emma Stone, Chase Infiniti, Renate Reinsve, Ava DuVernay and Wunmi Mosaku.

Here are the beauty moments everyone will be talking about.

CHANEL’s Red Carpet Beauty Moments

Jessie Buckley’s Diffused Red Lip

Oscar winner Jessie Buckley stepped onto the red carpet with luminous skin and a softly blurred red lip that echoed the colours of her striking gown.

Makeup artist Nina Park drew inspiration from the red and pink tones of Buckley’s dress, opting for radiant skin and a diffused lip to keep the look elegant and effortless.

To create the softly worn-in finish, Park layered CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue in Daring Red over CHANEL Le Crayon Lèvres in Rouge Cerise, pressing the pigment into the lips to achieve a blurred effect.

Teyana Taylor’s Modern Mod Eye

For Teyana Taylor, makeup artist Yeika Glow channelled a subtle 1960s-inspired mod eye.

Precision liner created definition before shadow from CHANEL Les 4 Ombres in Spices was blended across the lids to add softness and dimension. The look balanced graphic definition with glowing skin and glossy lips.

Gracie Abrams’ Sculpted Rosy Glow

Singer and CHANEL ambassador Gracie Abrams embraced a fresh, softly sculpted flush across the face.

Makeup artist Emily Cheng swept CHANEL Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Pink Explosion across the apples of the cheeks and up toward the temples, before tapping Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick onto the high points of the face for a natural glow.

The result was a playful, youthful take on red-carpet glam.

The Louis Vuitton Beauty Moments

Chase Infiniti’s Plum-Toned Eye

Chase Infiniti opted for a dramatic eye look built around the LV Ombres 450 Cosmic Dreams palette, blending plum tones with shimmering violet hues.

The eyes were softened with LV Ombres 150 Beige Memento, while lips were finished with LV Rouge 101 Kiss the Sky, a delicate peony-toned lipstick in cool shades.

Renate Reinsve’s Poppy-Red Lip

Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve delivered one of the night’s most striking lip moments with LV Rouge 602 Vuittamine.

The luminous poppy-red shade, infused with warm orange and yellow undertones, brought vibrancy and freshness to the overall look.

Ava DuVernay’s Bold Blue Eyes

Ava DuVernay’s Oscar look was all about the eyes.

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay opted for a bold yet refined eye look.

Her makeup blended LV Ombres 650 Waking Dawn, a warm-toned palette, with LV Ombres 950 Sky is the Limit, a striking collection of blues accented with soft taupe.

The look was balanced with LV Rouge 104 Beige Machina, a delicate mauve rose lipstick.
