The big night is finally here — the 92nd Academy Awards are underway, and we’ve already spotted the best-dressed stars, adorable celeb couples and one standout trend on the red carpet: ’90s beauty looks. Whether or not you were a fan of the decade that brought us Bonne Bell Lip Lites, Sun-In hair lightener, choker necklaces, butterfly hair clips, body glitter and Tommy Girl perfume, there’s no denying the ’90s were the inspiration behind several of the stars’ red carpet looks this year.
We haven’t seen any overdrawn lips or bold blue eye shadows (yet) but the stars have stepped out with an elevated and modernized take on our favorite ’90s fashion and beauty trends. Remember those intricate and wispy updos that were made popular by stars like Alicia Silverstone? Florence Pugh absolutely stunned in a new version of that famous look. And remember that blunt bob Britney Spears loved to wear? Maya Rudolph is wearing something eerily similar to tonight’s show. Ahead, we’ve gathered our favorite ’90s-inspired looks from the 2020 Oscars red carpet.
Florence Pugh
We were beginning to think intricate updos were a thing of the past, but Florence Pugh is bringing this ’90s hair trend back and we are loving it.
Saoirse Ronan
Saoirse Ronan is sporting an updated version of the bangs that were so popular in the ’90s: baby bangs.
Maya Rudolph
Although it’s a bit shorter than Britney’s signature blunt bob, we are loving Maya’s ’90s throwback haircut.
America Ferrera
This is taking me back to fourth grade when I wore a similar headband to school every. single. day.
Scarlett Johansson
Bangs and an updo! A total ’90s lewk.
Rooney Mara
Dark, moody makeup and an updo? It’s like we’ve been transported through a time machine.
Lilly Singh
Lilly Singh is wearing a nude lip — possibly the most iconic beauty trend of the decade.
Olivia Scarlett-Watts
If this matte makeup worn by Olivia Scarlett-Watts looks familiar, it’s probably because all of our favorite pop stars from the ’90s wore it to at least one red carpet.
Penelope Cruz
A matte nude lip is as ’90s as it gets.
Natalie Portman
Similar to Maya Rudolph, Natalie Portman opted for a windswept blunt bob for tonight’s Oscars look.
Geena Davis
Geena Davis is rocking our other favorite ’90s lip trend: a bold, dark lip.
Sandra Oh
Sandra Oh slaying an absolutely elegant updo that we can’t stop staring it.
