Awards season kicked off Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton with the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards, honoring 2025’s best in film and TV. While the ceremony looked back on all the major pop culture moments from the past year, the beauty looks were also a reflection of 2025’s biggest trends.
Bobs, pixies, and other short cuts were the name of the hair game in 2025, and goth makeup had a major moment that is expected to continue into this year as well. The nostalgia of full-glam, “2016 makeup” is leading to maximalist beauty looks, be it bright lips, blunt bangs, or smoky lids.
This year, bold beauty looks once again graced the red carpet, but classic Old Hollywood glam was also a mainstay. Selena Gomez’s bright berry lip and Elle Fanning’s sleek middle part were proof of just that. Below are the most daring, chic, and on-trend hair and makeup looks of the night.
Jenna Ortega’s Bleached Brows
Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega stayed true to her goth glam aesthetic with a fully bleached brow look. Paired with understated eyeshadow and a cool-toned neutral lip, the brows — or lack thereof — were the star of the show.
Selena Gomez’s Bold Berry Lip
The Rare Beauty founder paired a bold, berry lip that added even more drama to her Old Hollywood glamour.
Ayo Edebiri’s Voluminous Bob
Ayo Edebiri paired her classy LBD with a voluminous bob and curled bangs.
Tessa Thompson’s Wet Waves
Tessa Thompson’s wet hair waves and green textured gown made her look like a mermaidcore vision.
Brittany Snow’s Neutral Glam
The Hunting Wives’ Brittany Snow gave a masterclass in understated glam with a low pony, natural base, and light glossy lip.
Elle Fanning’s Sleek Middle Part
Teyana Taylor’s Dramatic Double Liner
Teyana Taylor’s makeup was just as dramatic as her bejeweled whale tale, with sculpted brows and smoked-out double eyeliner.
Janelle James’ Blunt Pixie
Janelle James was a vision in orange, wearing a nearly sheer, flowy gown, a tangerine-toned lip, winged eyeliner, and a blunt pixie cut.
JLaw’s Barbie Doll Bangs
Zoë Kravitz’s Brooch Bun
Zoë Kravitz’s topped off her otherwise low-key, lingerie-inspired look with a mindfully messy bun emphasized with a brooch accessory.
