This season exceeded our expectations with makeup looks that compel us to DM pros for all details on these gorgeous looks.
This season, Cynthia Erivoâs wicked-cool manicures made us do a double take, Olivia Rodrigoâs cat eye inspired us to pick up liquid liner and Demi Mooreâs effortless waves blanketed our inspo boards.
Read on for pros nailed these and more looks.
Best Grooming Game: Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo and his groomer Jamie Richmond are so close, the actor presented her with InStyleâs Imagemaker Award in 2024. Sometimes the pro uses makeup on her client to boost his natural radiance, but for the SAG Awards she went au natural with stunning results. The look âreflects the essence of who Colman is: beautiful, bold, and unapologetically himself,â Richmond said. She used Charlotte Tilbury skin care to cleanse his skin and boost moisture, which she locked in with the brandâs Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. âSince it has aloe vera to keep skin smooth and supple, and Japanese green to keep skin hydrated, it keeps the skin looking radiant all night long â itâs like a skincare secret weapon,â she told PEOPLE.
(Hands Down the) Best Nails â Ever: Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivoâs nail artist Mycah Dior has been working overtime this awards season. On every red carpet, the star has a fresh set of decked-out nails that pull together her look and nod to her Wicked character Elphaba. At the Grammys, Erivo shared her inches-long looks took approximately âfive hoursâ to create. The look was perfected using five OPI shades, including the cobalt blue hue, Fiyeroâs My Mani, from the brandâs Wicked collection.

Weâre certain Demi Mooreâs hair is full of secrets, but her pro Dimitris Giannetos revealed a few of them after the SAG Awards, where she made a convincing case for embracing the âlazy girlâ hair trend. He used a volumizing mousse at her roots to build body and texture, then blow-dried her hair with a round brush to create lift and smooth all over. Two different curling irons â a 1-inch and a 1.5-inch â gave the pro uneven waves for a more natural feel. A texturizing spray and the his magic hands added the finishing touches for the tousled look. âDemi is far from lazy,â he assured, âbut this trend perfectly balances the structure of her outfit.â
Best Red Carpet Hair Debut: Emma Stone
Emma Stone, a natural blonde, has gone from platinum to jet black during her career. So sheâs mastered the art of debuting hair transformations. After months of buzz that the actress had cut off all her hair, Stone confirmed so much was true when she stepped on the Golden Globes carpet with a textured pixie styled by her longtime pro Mara Roszak.
