If the red carpet was any indication, the year 2015 was filled with more beauty hits than misses. From statement lips to intricate updos, the celebs on the award show circuit earned high marks for creativity. Here, we celebrate the most outstanding of the bunch.
Gigi Hadid, AMAs
The wig that fooled the world: Hadid’s slicked-back bob was the ultimate in cool.
Scarlett Johansson, Oscars
Johansson showed off a whole other side of her style with sleek strands and barely-there brown shadow.
Cate Blanchett, Oscars
If there were an Academy Award for gorgeous, glowing skin, we’d bet Blanchett would have taken home the prize.
Jennifer Lopez, Oscars
Pink lips and rosy eyeshadow made Lopez’ Oscar look a lesson in color coordination.
Taylor Swift
Swift looked the part of a modern rockstar thanks to an exaggerated side part and even more dramatic cat eye.
Zendaya
Zendaya had her share of memorable beauty moments this year, but this one has to be our favorite.
Lupita Nyong’o, Golden Globes
A two-toned purple eye and plum lip were just right for Nyong’o’s lavender dress.
Naomi Watts, Oscars
As evidenced by Watts, even those with fair skin can pull off wine-colored lipstick.
Margot Robbie, Oscars
We loved Robbie’s red lip so much, we tracked down the exact shade (and proceeded to buy it in bulk).
