Every Single Must-See Beauty Look From This Year's SAG Awards

Amid an award and red carpet season that has largely been postponed, canceled, or virtual, we couldn't be more excited to get back into the *somewhat* traditional swing of things with this year's 2022 SAG Awards. And yes, just the sheer anticipation of the forthcoming and exceptionally drool-inducing beauty and fashion moments have us chomping at the bit. 

Unlike most award shows, the SAG Awards don't have designated hosts (a tradition that will continue this year), but fear not. In addition to the glitz and glamour, there are definitely a few highlights and surprises in store. For instance, the show's opening will feature Hamilton stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Daveed Diggs, and Leslie Odom Jr., and five-time SAG Award winner Helen Mirren will be presented with the SAG Life Achievement Award by Kate Winslet.

Personally, we'll be enjoying tonight's show by indulging in the best sodium-laced takeout we can find and a nice pour of wine while, of course, keeping track of every head-turning hair and makeup moment that occurs on the red carpet. If you're equally hungry for a large helping of A-list-caliber beauty inspiration, we suggest you follow along. The best beauty looks from the 2022 SAG Awards are just ahead, and you'll want to screenshot each and every slide. Keep scrolling!

Matte nude lips took over the red carpet at this year's SAG Awards, so we appreciate Kidman's classic red lip, which really made her strawberry-blonde strands sing.

Beauty Director

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
