After the party it’s the after-party, and at the Academy Awards, that means the opportunity for a quick-change beauty transformation. Red carpets may call for elegance and glamour, but the post-show festivities are defined by a pared-down, loosened-up vibe, particularly for those who opted to skip the actual ceremony. In 1961, Elizabeth Taylor celebrated her Best Actress win in the company of her golden statuette, raven lengths piled high and paired with full bangs, layers of black eyeliner, and occasion-worthy earrings.
The ’70s were defined by a casual nonchalance—best personified by then-teens Brooke Shields and Mariel Hemingway, who were nothing if not fresh-faced—supplemented by the occasional over-the-top aesthetic. Silver screen darlings Winona Ryder and Drew Barrymore each made an era-defining splash at post-show parties in 1998, Winona relying on a piecey pixie and porcelain complexion, while Drew embraced her inner grunge-loving flower child with matte bordeaux lipstick and a literal daisy tucked behind each ear.
Last year brought a slew of aspirational, contemporary beauty looks—Zoë Kravitz’s onyx eyes and baby braids; sleek, tucked back blonde lengths and bold brows as demonstrated by Suki Waterhouse; and Solange’s fuzzy, voluminous chop and poppy red lips among them. While we’ll certainly be watching the awards show tonight, we’re looking forward to the above-the-neck inspiration that’s bound to follow the credits.
