The 82nd annual Golden Globes is my Super Bowl. Of course, we’re celebrating the best in television and movies (Anora! Wicked! Challengers!). But it’s also the first big to-do of the 2025 awards season, which means the best red carpet beauty looks are a lesson in winter hair, makeup, and nail trends.
The night has only just begun, but trends are already taking shape. Nude concealer lips that nod to the 2000s have re-emerged (Marie Claire just reviewed MAC’s new Nudes, FYI), and blush proved to be a major makeup player. Rich girl blonde is the hair color of the night, while side parts staged a comeback with an assist from Maren Morris and Monica Barbaro.
But the best beauty looks of the 2025 Golden Globes don’t just magically appear on the red carpet. It’s taken weeks of planning, a stellar lineup of products, and hours of prep with the best hairstylists, nail techs, and makeup artists in the business. I was able to grab the product breakdowns, along with tips and tricks for how stars like Selena Gomez, Nicole Kidman, and Micky Madison got glam for the big night.
To get the scoop on the Golden Globes beauty looks, scroll ahead.
