The 2025 SAG Awards proved that the second to last award show of the season is home to some of the most noteworthy red carpet glamour. Stars like Selena Gomez, Anna Sawai, Mikey Madison, Keke Palmer, Pamela Anderson, and Demi Moore arrived for an evening to celebrate the best and brightest on-screen talent with plenty of chic red lipstick and gravity-defying bouffants in tow. The vibe was distinctively old Hollywood chic, with actors of all ages showcasing their unique spin on the classic aesthetic.

Held at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall on Feb. 23 and hosted by Kristen Bell, the 31st annual awards are selected by members of the Screen Actors Guild for both film and television. Clearly, there was no shortage of talent, and enviable hair and makeup, in the room.

Rivaled only by the best red carpet fashion, our picks for the most swoon-worthy hair and makeup looks provided plenty of inspiration for our next elegant night out, and left us hoping that next week's Oscar's ceremony will continue to level up the glam. Keep scrolling for our 11 favorite SAG Awards beauty looks of the evening.
