We might not know who will take home the best original song Oscar until the show gets underway, but in my mind, Billie Eilish has already won the glam of the night award.
Eilish, who’s known and beloved for her alternative beauty looks and pioneering neon-tinted roots, two-toned hair, and choppy wolf cuts, did a total 180 for her Oscars hair and makeup. To the point that while watching the 2024 Oscars red carpet, I had to rewind: I quite literally did not recognize her.
Typically a more-is-more maximalist—she is, after all, best known for her bright green hair—Eilish instead opted for long layers, a sleek yet voluminous blowout, and deep brunette hair so long it reached halfway down her back. I’m pretty sure this is the longest Eilish has worn her hair in years—and at least since she’s been famous. Does this mean a new era is loading?!
Eilish’s makeup was similarly minimal yet super chic. The look, which consisted of natural brushed brows, classic mascara, and just a hint of over-lined lips topped with gloss, is very much giving less is more, and honestly, serves as a masterclass for how to rock subtle soft glam.
