The "Edge of Seventeen" Actress Hailee Steinfeld was an ethereal angel on the red carpet. Her romantic double-knot updo and billowing floral gown complemented her glowing complexion and pretty pink lip, but to stay true to her bad-girl side -- Steinfeld rocked a smudgy maroon smoky eye. While a bold move, the eye makeup brought all the attention to Steinfeld's dark eyes.
To create her classy updo, Steinfeld teamed up with celebrity stylist Chris Appleton who says he "went for a bold style to complement the mixture of classic and modern vibes given from her gown." To start, Appleton prepped Steinfeld's wet strands with Toni & Guy Prep: Heat Protectant Mist High Temperature Protection, $6.39, and blow-dried hair backwards away from the face using a paddle brush. Once dry, Appleton sectioned off the top half of hair and gathered the lower half into a ponytail at the back of the head. Then, Appleton applied Toni & Guy Style Spray Wax, $14.99, throughout the top section for a high-shine effect and began curling her hair using a 1-inch curling iron. Once the curls were cool, he gently brushed Steinfeld's curls out and joined them to the existing ponytail, wrapping sections of hair from the ponytail in a clockwise motion above and below, twisting into a flower shape. He secured the gorgeous look with pins and Toni & Guy Medium Hold Hairspray, $12.99.

While actress Ruth Negga was nominated for the Best Actress in a Leading Role, we'd happily give her the award for one of the best looks on the red carpet. Negga kept her look simple and elegant, sweeping her dark tendrils into a romantic updo embellished with a gorgeous ruby headband, which matched her red gown beautifully. As for her makeup? She combined a pretty red lip with a hazy, light smoky eye. The result? Pure beauty
When it comes to awards shows (or beauty in general) Chrissy Teigen never disappoints. Teigen looked like a goddess when she stepped onto the red carpet with hubby John Legend in her gorgeous Roman-style dress. To balance her glowing white gown, Teigen enhanced her eyes with an elegant brown smoky eye and mauve pink lip.
As far as trends go at this year's 2017 Oscars, red lips were a hot commodity. Actress Kirsten Dunst paired her black satin gown with dark lined eyes and -- you guessed it -- a red lip. While her dark gown and black liner could've channeled some serious punk vibes, Dunst softened the look with flushed cheeks and a soft romantic updo.
Move over Cleopatra, there's a new queen in town. Jessica Biel looked flawless when she strutted onto the red carpet wearing a dazzling gold gown and a Tiffany & Co. spiked diamond bib necklace. To balance her sequin dress and bling, Biel kept her makeup minimal and applied thick winged liner, and tied her long brunette strands back into a voluptuous low-bun.
