2020 kicked off with a blast, with serious beauty, fashion and makeup goals shown off at the 77th Golden Globes. The Golden Globes are much awaited by fashion enthusiasts around the world as the first major award show of the year. The looks we see here set standards and trends for the months to follow. From Billy Porter to Margot Robbie, our favourite stars gifted us with several beautiful and noteworthy fashion trends. Here, we break down the makeup and hairstyles adopted by some of the best-dressed celebrities at this year’s Golden Globes so you can try them yourself.
4 Beauty Looks That Owned the 2020 Golden Globes
Fashion fans noticed a few makeup and hairstyle trends sported by many of the actors and actresses who attended the recent Golden Globe Awards. Let’s look at the awards show styles that are here to stay in 2020:
Sculptural lobs
Reese Witherspoon and Zoey Deutch gave the timeless bob a modern twist by flicking their ends outward and keeping it as sleek and clean as possible. Both had nearly identical side-swept coifs that only differed by their texture and colour. Witherspoon sports an ash-blonde lob that’s sleeked out to perfection, while Deutch’s auburn lob has a warped wave at the crown. Kerry Washington paired her red lips with a bob that was blown out to perfection and had a well-defined parting.
Pro tip 1: To achieve a sleek and sculpted lob, a liberal amount of strong-hold hair spray or gel will be needed to keep the hairstyle intact through the day. |
Metallic embellishments and makeup
Silver metallic tones triumphed over gold this year as they were sported by celebrities of both genders. Joey King’s silver shimmer smokey eyes were among the more subdued forms of metallic shades of makeup spotted on the red carpet. Look for Lucy Boynton’s dramatically glittery winged liner with encrusted gems to trend in 2020. Rooney Mara chose to have silver threaded through her hair buns. Even actor Ansel Elgort sported a touch of silver eye glitter that elevated his navy suit.
Pixie cuts and cropped hairstyles
Several actresses including Cynthia Erivo, Olivia Colman and Zoë Kravitz, owned the pixie cut and cropped hairstyle. Shorter hair, which was a popular style of the 1960s, is coming to the fore again in various forms, from a close-cropped buzz to elfin pixie cuts. According to celebrity stylist Coree Monero, who styled Cynthia Erivo’s chrome pixie, “The concept was an elevated, more feminine version of the 1960s combover.”
Shades of rose
While dramatic makeup looks with metallic shades were worn by many celebrities, the soothing and romantic hue of rose was also a predominant red-carpet colour. Rose-toned blusher was the key highlight of looks sported by Dakota Fanning, Beanie Feldstein, Priyanka Chopra and Kirsten Dunst. Peach eyeshadow and no-makeup looks were another variation of prevailing shades of rose and pink.
Tips to Take Beauty Inspiration from the 2020 Golden Globes
We have categorized the various celebrity looks into four umbrella ideas. Here are different ways to take inspiration from your favourite star’s Golden Globe style:
Incorporating silver into your makeup
There are several ways to incorporate silver tones into your hair and makeup routine. It’s a versatile look, and how you integrate it into that routine can make it a focal point. Here are a few tips to use metallic tones inspired by the Golden Globes:
Silver as brow bone and inner corner highlighter: Is your outfit a cool-toned colour like teal, navy blue, grey or mauve? Irrespective of the eye makeup you choose, silver can be used as a highlight to impart a finishing touch.
Silver accessories: From jewelry to handbags, you can never go wrong when you add a metallic touch to your accessories.
Jewel-encrusted makeup: Using rhinestones and sparkly elements to create dramatic and bold makeup is a great way to create a statement look. You can tone it down and make it more wearable with smaller and simpler rhinestones.
A new hairstyle
Nothing alters your look more than changing your hairstyle, and lobs and pixies are among the boldest haircuts. A few things to keep in mind regarding these hairstyles:
Lobs and pixies with curly hair have very different textures and won’t look exactly like the Golden Globe trends. You need to be calculative about your hair length beforehand as curly hair tends to shrink significantly. That is, unless you’re willing to straighten your hair all the time.
Beach and soft blown-out waves are a classic hairstyle in fashion for a long time. Most recently it’s been sported by the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Margot Robbie. This can be your go-to hairstyle if you prefer to keep your hair long.
Rose hues
Like metallics, there are several ways to incorporate rose tones into your makeup routine. Here are a few inspired by the Golden Globes.A rosy blush paired with any eye makeup is the easiest way to add this colour to your look, and there are numerous rosy-toned blushers on the market.
Rose-toned lipstick is another way to try this trend without going overboard. Rosy colors have always been a popular choice and there are many to choose from. Since it’s a muted and classic color, this is a trend anyone can comfortably wear.
Pro tip 2: Don’t have a rose-toned blush and not ready to invest in one? Substitute with rose-toned lipstick. |
Keeping up with trends is a passion among beauty enthusiasts, and Golden Globe attendees have always set the standard for the trends we’ll be seeing in the coming months. Take inspiration from these styles and try some new looks in the new year.
