There’s nothing quite like the Oscars to make us wish that adult proms were a thing. There’s just so much elegant beauty inspo to gain from watching the Academy Awards that it’s a shame we don’t all have our own “biggest night in [your town here]” to recreate it.
That being said, there’s really no reason not to take the best hair, makeup, and nail looks seen on the red carpet and incorporate them into everyday life. Why wait for a wedding when you can emulate Emma Stone’s hair for a Monday all-hands meeting? Or take a photo of Teyana Taylor’s nails to the salon for your very next manicure?
We’re rounding up the most stunning looks of the Oscars, otherwise known as the most anticipated event of award season and the pinnacle of red carpet glamour. If you can’t find your ultimate adult prom dream glam—or just an idea for date night—here, you can’t find it anywhere.

Best Actress nominee Rose Byrne could not have looked like more of a classic beauty. A simple yet elegant updo swept cleanly into a low knot topped off a timeless makeup look: red lips as the centerpiece, supported by a wash of gray eye shadow, and sweet, rosy cheeks.
