Renowned celebrities like Zendaya, Selena Gomez, and Cate Blanchett rocked classic bob hairstyles, while other prominent personalities maintained mid-length locks and sleek buns. Along with the lavishing chops, beauty getups were stretched to bold eye makeup paired with subtle hues below—marking the use of clear lip glosses, medium shades of lip liner, and sheer blushes.

We can’t say anything about Selena's look but perfection! We are mesmerized by her side-parted bob, radiant skin, and perfectly coordinated shades on her eyes, cheeks, and lips! Selena’s go-to makeup artist, Hung Vanngo shared the breakdown of Selena’s look on his Instagram account. The secret? Big attention to hydrating Selena’s skin with six skincare products before applying any makeup. This makes the products sit on Selena’s skin smoothly and keeps her glowing all night long!

Presenting age-defying beauty, Demi endeared everyone with her youthful look on the red carpet. With an abundance of glittery shades on her eyes, Demi’s skin was well-covered with a foundation, creating radiantly healthy skin. A few hints of shimmer were also seen around her nose and cheeks, toning up and evenly elevating her striking facial structure. She kept her hair disheveled and sexy, just the way we like it!

Anya Taylor-Joy
This woman is a beauty icon of our time. Her entire ensemble was striking, bold, yet gentle and innocent at the same time. The sleek side-parted bun made her look even flawless! For her makeup, Anya set a slightly dramatic tone on her eyes, displaying long-curled lashes, and smokey eyeshadow, which accentuated her almond eyes. While the blush is perfectly balanced, the contour brushed upwards on her cheekbones makes her face look slimmer. She's not the face of Dior Beauty for nothing!
