Demi Moore's 2025 Oscars Hairstyle Is a Throwback to This 2000s Cover Story
Who says women over 60 can't have waist-skimming hair?


When it comes to hair icons, there are few who have stood the test of time quite like Demi Moore. The best Actress nominee is known for her long, silky, impossibly shiny locks (and, you know, buzzing them off for G.I. Jane) and, true to form, she arrived on the 97th Academy Awards red carpet looking nothing short of spectacular.
"Demi is wearing a beautiful Armani Privé dress," says celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos. "So for her hair I wanted it to be glamorous, but at the same time powerful—like Demi’s personality! Timeless. My reference was an iconic shoot Demi did for the cover of Vogue in the early 2000’s, shot by Mario Testino."
In the specific image that Giannetos referenced, Moore was wearing a silver, scoop-neck dress and her hair was perfectly blown out and incredibly shiny—i.e. the blowout of everyone's dreams. To achieve the 2025 version of this look, Giannetos started on towel-dried hair and prepped by spraying the roots with Moroccanoil Boost Spray and Moroccanoil Perfect Defense Heat Protectant.
"I brushed that through and then went in with the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer on high settings to give her a blowout. I followed by curling her hair with the Dyson Corrale Straightener on medium setting (365 degrees) and set every section." Once the hair was set, he brushed out the hair and sprayed the Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to add even more luminosity and calm flyaways.
And while it might take a few extensions to achieve Moore's rib-skimming length (or at least some hair growth shampoos with a side of biotin supplements) you can definitely achieve the silky smooth, high-shine effect at home, no matter how short or long your hair is at the moment.
