The Beauty Looks That Completely Slayed the 2020 Golden Globes Red Carpet
Welcome to award season 2020. It's time to wake from our winter slumber, and there's no better way to do it than with the excitement of the first award show of the New Year, the 77th Golden Globes.
Not only does this glamorous evening mark the first gathering of the Hollywood elite to celebrate the phenomenal TV and movie offerings from the past year, but it's also a fresh opportunity for the stars to set the tone for the red carpet season ahead (and collect their first round of statuettes, of course)—no pressure or anything.
It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that our faves showed up and showed all the way out with their beauty looks for the affair. From stunning makeup to swoon-worthy hairstyles, everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, and so many more of the best actors in the game gave us all the beauty inspo we'll need for a fierce 2020. Check out our favorite looks, ahead.
This metallic smoky eye is the perfect look to kick off red carpet season.
This pink-stained monochrome is a vibe.
That sleek middle part and bubblegum-pink lip are the perfect additions to an otherwise subdued look.
Must-have beauty product: Beautycounter Color Intense Lipstick ($34)
Fanning is giving us angel-on-earth vibes with her signature soft glam.
A bold red lip is always a good idea.
Must-have beauty product: Leonor Greyl Laque Souple Light to Medium Hold Hairspray ($36)
Soft waves and a bold lip capture Old Hollywood glam at its finest.
Yes, lashes! Yes, silver natural! Yes, smoldering stare!
Blue eyeliner will be a staple in our 2020 makeup repertoire.
Must-have beauty product: Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon ($26)
Colman is giving us fresh skin and feathered brows—a winning combo in our book. We're also living for her cropped haircut, which is so timeless and elegant.
Must-have beauty products: Kevin.Murphy Rough.Rider Moldable Styling Clay (36) and Pause Well-Aging Fascia Stimulating Tool ($115)
Shimmering, silver shadow seems to be a trend tonight, and we're so here for it.
Whoever said orangey-red lipstick was only appropriate during the summer clearly never saw this shade on Mbatha-Raw.
Must-have beauty product: Lashify Bold Gossamer Lashes in B.10—Short ($20)
Beachy waves are clearly Robbie's best friend, but that subtle lilac hue on her eyelid is something new. We're into it!
Must-have beauty product: T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand Set ($300)
This slick, deep side part is so simple yet so sophisticated.
Must-have beauty product: Harry Josh Pro Tools
Ceramic Flat Styling Iron ($200)
Aniston is proof that you don't have to do the most on the red carpet to totally shut it down.
It's no secret that we love a bob, and this old-school waved look is a gorgeous style on such a short cut. It worked so well paired with Williams's fresh face and plump, glossy lips.
Must-have beauty product: Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath Gloss ($35)
We're loving the rock-and-roll vibe of Waller-Bridge's cascading bouffant.
This undone updo is effortlessly chic. And don't even get us started on that skin!
Must-have beauty products: Olivia Garden Style-Up Combo Folding Teasing Brush ($10) and Leonor Greyl Voluforme ($36)
Offbeat red lips had a moment on the carpet too.
It looks like the guys got the silver eye shadow memo too. More men in makeup this award season, please!
Leave it to Dame Helen Mirren to remind us that a cranberry lip stain always adds a little something special.
Must-have beauty product: L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Luminous Hydrating Lipstick + Nourishing Serum ($9)
She's beauty, and she's grace. That J.Lo glow was on level one million this evening.
This simple look is just angelic.
Must-have beauty product: Virtue Labs Volumizing Primer ($36)
Yes to literally everything happening here, but especially the shimmery gunmetal hue swept across Washington's lids.
It looks like Theron cropped the dark bowl cut she had earlier this year back to her signature blonde pixie cut. She really is a hair chameleon.
Must-have beauty product: Virtue Labs Healing Oil ($42)
Kravitz also brought a pixie cut to the party. The more, the merrier.
It has to be said: That hair is absolutely snatched.
Paltrow was all about showing a little skin on the carpet, and the theme extended to her super-soft glam. She's proof that a strip of lashes and an impeccable skincare routine can really take you places.
Must-have beauty product: Chantecaille Faux Cils Longest Lash Mascara ($72)
So here for the dull drama of Woodley's eye makeup.
Must-have beauty product: Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl Eyeliner ($26)
Oh, and Taylor Swift was there!
Our 2020 mantra: shiny hair, full brows, can't lose.
Witherspoon showed us that a little bit of gel can take you from bob to boom, just like that.
Must-have beauty product: Lashify Fluffy Gossamer Lashes in F10 and F12 ($20 each)
Boynton went for it with this look, and she stuck the landing. She's no stranger to pushing the envelope with her edgy eye makeup, and tonight was no different. Kudos to the actress for really going for it, even when everyone else is keeping it low-key.
Here we have another case for updated Old Hollywood glam, and we think it's a great idea.
Must-have beauty product: Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation ($47)
Another fresh face for the books. And that bold lip? Yes.
Must-have beauty products: Tresemmé Smooth Dry Oil Spray ($5) and Lashify Amplify Gossamer Lashes in A.12 and Bold Gossamer Lashes in B.14 ($20 each)
Up next, every striking look from the Golden Globes red carpet.
