Another awards night, another round of great hair and beauty looks. While, of course, I’m just as excited about recognising acting talent as Emma Stone’s hair colour, it’s important to indulge in fun things on a Monday. Because it’s Monday. Everyone was looking dapper as always (Timothée Chalamet, well done on being you) – but, these are the looks that got me screenshotting the red carpet last night. Nails, eyes, 10/10 hairstyles – here are our top 8.

1 Hair accessories
Who wore it: Lucy Boynton and Mandy Moore
While Mandy Moore and Emma Stone were 'subtle' in their choice of hair accessories last night, Lucy Boynton's adorable ribbon was a'top her half-up-half-down do for all to see. Adding a bow is an easy way to spice up a simple hairstyle; lifting a ponytail from 'just left spin class, and everything is greasy', to 'your hair looks nice'.

2 Dramatic eyeliner
Who wore it: Alison Brie and Angela Bassett
Well, a smokey eye is always a good idea. One you can do right at your desk (pre-date, pre-drinks, post-just-got-a-new-eyeliner), just swipe a little kohl pencil beneath your lash line and smoke out with a pencil brush or your fingertip. Alison Brie kept it smokey last night, while Lucy Boynton made abstract, 60s eyeliner a thing. Both winners.

3 Pink-toned everything
Who wore it: Yara Shahidi, Laura Harrier, Emily Blunt
In an interview with Allure, Shahidi's makeup artist Emily Cheng described her look as 'an oil painting, with the different textures and intensity across the eye'. For her dewy cheeks, a combo of Bobbi Brown eyeshadow and clear gloss was used for glow, while BB Crushed Liquid Lips in Haute Cocoa and Cool Beetz were applied to the lips for dimension.

4 Smoothed-out curls
Who wore it: Jane Fonda and Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie kept it slick, and 40s-esque (coiffed by hair stylist Bryce Scarlett), while Jane Fonda went short and springy for her first SAG awards appearance since 2014. To smooth-out curled hair (for controlled bounce), apply leave-in conditioner post wash and comb. Continue to scrunch as it dries naturally, and sleep in a silk scarf (boujie, right?).
-
5 Intricate braids
Who wore it: Lupita Nyong'o and Laverne Cox
Can I call Lupita Nyong'o queen of all award ceremonies, now? Yes. Yes, I believe I can. Nyong'o's box braids/cornrow combo were an ideal companion to her Vera Wang outfit last night. Hairstylist Vernon François is to thank, taking inspiring from Lupita's outfit to craft the hair as a look too.
-
6 Berry-toned nails. And lips.
Who wore it: Lady Gaga, Gayle Rankin, Emma Stone
From blue hair, to last night's berry-toned look, the Star Is Born actress has been dabbling with a wondrous colour palette this awards season. We already knew oxblood nails were a biggie for 2019, and after some expert research (me – trolling the web), we're calling Zoya nail polish in Courtney as a good match for last night's look.
-
7 Properly sleek
Who wore it: Rachel Brosnahan and Mandy Moore
We've been eyeing up Brosnahan's bouncy bob in The Marvellous Mrs Maisel since the show kicked off, but her sleek, centre-partin vibe looked mighty fab last night too. Mandy Moore combed down her low ponytail for a sleek aesthetic also, finished with a teeny pearl clip to top it off (bravo Moore, bravo). You'll need a combo, a good hairspray, and a venue lacking wind.

8 Block-colour lids
Who wore it: Ashleigh LaThrop and Susan Kelechi Watson
One strong, pigmented shade, used across the whole eye to match (or clash) an outfit. Susan Kelechi Watson paired a lemon dress with green eyeshadow, while LaThrop's lids were coated in purple. The easiest eye look going? Correct.
