Though this year’s most memorable movies span genre, place, and time, the aesthetics that defined some of our favorite characters seemed to fit squarely in the present. Whether recent trends were merely hinted at or fully embraced, we saw a lot of ourselves (and our Instagram feeds) mirrored on the silver screen, making this year’s best cinematic beauty moments a fitting ode to 2015.
Fifty Shades of Grey hit theaters in early February, drawing crowds of fans and skeptics, who, if they’re anything like us, were instantly won over by Dakota Johnson’s fresh face, bold brows, rose-tinted lips, and slightly tousled layers; her Anastasia Steele was the poster girl for this year’s no-makeup makeup look. Old Hollywood glamour found form in Carol and Spectre, with both Cate Blanchett and Léa Seydoux embracing the perfectly coiffed blonde chops and classic red lips that defined the era. The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution utilized archival footage of the iconic Afro style—a look that has undergone something of a renaissance this year.
Marion Cotillard’s Lady Macbeth sported a gilded headband, a trend seen on this year’s runways, while Rooney Mara recalled the Resort collections in Pan, her otherwise clean complexion adorned with a wash of pink eyeshadow. Charlize Theron as Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road provided Halloween costume inspiration by way of truly unique makeup and badass, girl-power attitude. The Wolfpack and Mustang demonstrated the power of youthful beauty in numbers, with the Wolfpack’s Angulo brothers sporting identical dark, swingy, waist-grazing manes (some of which are chopped off as acts of rebellion). And with Star Wars: The Force Awakens making its debut tomorrow, newcomer Daisy Ridley’s textured ponytail, freckled face, and power stance are sure to inspire a new wave of Force-seeking fans. Here, our 17 favorite cinematic beauty moments of 2015.
