Breathtaking Beauty
Ethereal. Goddess. Elvin Royalty. Just a few ways to describe Cate Blanchett's look. (See also: majestic and flawless.)

Her hair was styled by Wella Professionals stylist Robert Vetica, who cut her hair into this chic bob the day of the Oscars.

Her romantic makeup look was created by makeup artist Jeanine Lobell, who used Giorgio Armani Eye Tint, $39, in #8 and #10 to create her soft plum smoky eye.

Understated Glamour
Priyanka Chopra's simple, elegant low ponytail is very of-the-moment -- as is her berry-hued lipstick.

To get her exact lip color, blend together Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour, $28, in Cocoa Pout and Seduction.

Where There's Smoke
We're #dead. Saoirse Ronan's smoky eye and golden blonde waves were executed flawlessly.

Makeup artist Mai Quynh applied Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow, $tk, in Mysterio from Ronan's lashline to crease. Then, she used Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow, $61, in Tissé Smoky. She applied the gray shades along her lid and the black shades along her lashline and in her crease.

As for those killer waves? Celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel used John Frieda Lucurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse, $5.99, on her roots before drying her hair with cold air to give her extra volume. He used velcro rollers to create her undone waves.

Pony Up
Kerry Washington is giving us serious #ponytailgoals. Celebrity hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew created this edgy look. She used GHD Air Hairdryer, $225, and a round brush to add volume to Washington's hair, then used GHD Soft Curl Iron, $199, to curl her hair. She finished off the look by using a Versace leather band to secure Washington's hair in a ponytail.

Carola Gonzalez created her soft makeup, focusing on Washington's eyes and finishing the look with Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick, $8.49, in Almond Nude.

Green With Envy
Rachel McAdams slayed the red carpet with a sleek hairstyle (created by Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend) and a hint of green eye shadow (Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow, $36, in Griffith Green, to be exact) that matched her gown. Fun fact: Her sister Kayleen McAdams did her makeup for the red carpet.

To make her hair shiny and sleek, Townsend applied Dove Regenerative Nourishment Serum-in-Oil, $5.99 to her damp hair, and then blew her hair out using GHD Air Hair Dryer, $175.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for: The 2016 Academy Awards have finally arrived. This year, there was some stiff competition -- and we're not just talking about the nominees (here's hoping Leo finally gets that Oscar). Celebrities went all out on the red carpet, showing off their most glamorous beauty looks. Our votes are in, and these were deemed the best beauty looks of the night. So grab your glass of Pinot Noir, and prepare to be blown away by these stunning beauty looks, fresh off the 2016 Oscars red carpet.
