The 13 Best Beauty Looks at the 2025 SAG Awards
Red lipstick and metallic eyeshadow brought the glitz and glam to the red carpet
The best beauty looks at the 2025 SAG Awards were a masterclass in red carpet glamour. Stars gathered at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in California to celebrate some of the top achievements in film and television. Red lips were the biggest beauty trend of the night, but metallic eyeshadow looks, soft old Hollywood-style waves, and elegant eyeliner added an extra dimension to the evening's star-studded red carpet. Keep scrolling for a few of our favorite hair and makeup looks from this year's SAG Awards.
Elle Fanning
Actor Elle Fanning's smoldering SAG Awards eyeshadow look was the perfect match for her pigmented red lip and sleek, side-parted lob. Her makeup was done by celebrity artist Erin Ayanian-Monroe for L'Oréal Paris, inspired by the '50s photographs of Irving Penn crossed with the '80s photographs of Helmut Newton.
"For Elle’s hair look, we decided to do bouncy, high-shine hair ensuring the look was very elegant. I wanted her hair to have that effortless, glass shine, so I incorporated the styling with the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Glossing Lamination Mask," celebrity stylist Jenda Alcorn says in a statement. "To finish, we set the look using L’Oréal Paris Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray to last all night long."
Mikey Madison
Another of our favorite bold lip moments of the night, Anora star Mikey Madison's, crafted by celebrity artist Melissa Hernandez for Armani Beauty, was a welcome pop of color next to her layered silver gown. Celebrity hairstylist Rena Calhoun used Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris products and brushes to style Mikey Madison's sleek, center-parted look.
Keke Palmer
We couldn't get enough of Keke Palmer's bouncy auburn bob and statement lip at this year's awards. Her stunning makeup look was perfected by celebrity makeup artist Kenya Alexis for Vaseline.
Selena Gomez
SAG Awards nominee and Rare Beauty founder Selena Gomez paired a bright red manicure with a red lip for a hint of red carpet beauty drama (in a good way). The Emilia Pérez star's manicure was polished by celebrity artist Tom Bachik using Aquaphor to nail prep, with hair styling crafted by Renato Campora for Joico.
“Tonight’s clean, soft shape is 1960s inspired, but the additional tuck behind the ears adds a more modern aspect to her look," Campora says in a statement. "The face is open and perfectly shaped by the style. Tonight, Selena’s silhouette was incredibly chic, so it was essential for the hair to reflect that same elegance.”
Cynthia Erivo
With fluttering lashes, bold eyeliner, and frosty silver shadow, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo's makeup look, created by celebrity artist Joanna Simkin for Charlotte Tilbury, provided understated yet impactful glamour next to her metallic outfit. “The look tonight was completely inspired by the iconic archive dress Cynthia is wearing!" Simkin says of the star's SAG Awards styling. "The silver raffia was begging for some silver drama!”
Michelle Yeoh
Actor Michelle Yeoh offered a masterclass in fresh-faced beauty on the SAG red carpet. Her easy curls, flushed cheeks, and dewy skin were award-worthy.
Janelle James
Abbott Elementary's Janelle James's spiky pixie cut and trending red lip stole the show on the SAG Awards red carpet.
Nicola Coughlan
Here's a beauty look that proves a little goes a long way. We're swooning over the sophistication of Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan's side-parted chignon and sharp cat eyeliner flick, courtesy of celebrity artist Adam Breuchaud for Charlotte Tilbury. “We wanted to fit the classic silhouette of the Dior dress," Breuchaud says. "And the juxtaposition of the rock 'n' roll edge of the black leather gloves, with the makeup so we opted for a bold smoked eyeliner.”
Danielle Deadwyler
We don't know what we love more, The Piano Lesson star Danielle Deadwyler's sculptural, polished updo or her firey eyeshadow look next to her strapless red gown.
Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson was glowing at tonight's SAG Awards thanks to shiny vintage-inspired waves styled by celebrity artist Lacy Redway, dewy skin, and an effortless glossy lip.
Quinta Brunson
SAG Award nominee Quinta Brunson's tonal red carpet glam was crafted by celebrity artist Rebekah Aladdin for Dior Beauty. The star's smoky eyeshadow and chestnut brown lip combo were standouts next to her lace Dior gown.
Jane Fonda
We loved SAG Lifetime Achievement Award winner Jane Fonda's flowing silver curls crafted by celebrity stylist Jonathan Hanousek for L'Oréal Paris and a timeless matte lip on tonight's red carpet. "I always start with the dress for inspiration. This evening, Jane wore a Hollywood glamour-inspired salmon-pink beaded floor length custom printed Armani gown that was perfect for the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award," celebrity makeup artist David Deleon says of the evening's look. "I went with a soft-glam look on her, complete with shimmery smokey eyes, light bronze skin, and a soft pink, mauve lip."
Ariana Grande
Best Supporting Actress nominee and r.e.m. Beauty founder Ariana Grande was pretty in pink at this year's awards ceremony. Next to strong eyeliner, and lengthened lashes, the star's rosy lip and subtle blush really shined.
