And the award for best supporting act at this year’s BAFTAs goes to… some rather excellent beauty looks. This year’s mood was all about–whisper it–quiet luxury, which is still, believe it or not, yet to exit the chat. On London’s starriest red carpet, A-listers opted for minimal, fresh and natural make-up, while the hair felt elevated but undone, polished but not perfect.
One of our favourite beauty looks from the 2024 BAFTAs came courtesy of Rosamund Pike, whose dewy, rosy skin paired perfectly with her brushed-up brows and slicked-back chignon. Wearing a cream blush on the apples of her cheeks, and a lipstick that delivered that coveted just-bitten effect, the Saltburn star looked positively luminous–earmark this vibe for springtime. Margot Robbie also showed off a tonal rose look, wearing a dusty pink on her cheeks and eyes, alongside a nude lip.
Luxurious hair was another key trend, with Ayo Edebiri and Carey Mulligan both sporting what hair pros are calling the “old money” bob–bouncy, lustrous hair that looks every bit as expensive as it feels. Elsewhere, there were big-barrelled curls and luxurious waves that would give the screen sirens of Hollywood’s golden age a run for their money. Crucially, more polished hair looks were paired with ultra-fresh make-up, a juxtaposition which prevented anything from looking too “done”.
