Sandra Oh
Tonight’s co-host Sandra Oh channeled old-Hollwood glamour for her first look of the night, courtesy of her glam squad (hairstylist Ted Gibson and makeup artist Danielle Danielle Vincent with Giorgio Armani Beauty). We’re talking muted red lipstick, shimmery eyes, and soft waves pulled back into an elegant updo. We can’t wait to see what else she has up her beauty sleeves for the long night ahead.

Lucy Boynton
Sadly, we weren’t too sure who Lucy Boynton was before the Golden Globes, but wow, what a mistake that was on our part. Let’s just say we’re not worthy of the red-carpet beauty trifecta the Bohemian Rhapsody star just dropped on all of us at the start of the night: cooper-colored, double-winged liner, clumpy, Twiggy-inspired mascara, and intentionally messy waves.

Gemma Chan
“Gemma’s look was old-school Valentino — a classic red lip was the focal point,” says makeup artist Monika Blunder. The pro used a lip serum to prime Chan’s lips, then applied the Clé de Peau Lipstick Cashmere in #103 Legend. After a quick tissue blot and a bit of setting powder, she was on her way.

Camilla Belle
“Wow” is all we can really say about Camilla Belle’s electric teal eye shadow. She paired the show-stopping shadow moment with a dramatic side part and creamy pink blush.

Lupita Nyong’o
If you blink, you might miss the subtle blue color fluttering off of Lupita Nyong’o’s lashes. Makeup artist Nick Barose, inspired by the ’80s beauty trend of contrasting colors on the eyes and lips, applied an electric blue liner (the Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil in Cote d Azur), and then complemented it with a bright red lip (the Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte in 507 Dram’atic).

Rachel Brosnahan
Rachel Brosnahan’s canary yellow Prada gown may be the star of the show, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t give credit to her sweet, peaches-and-cream lip and cheeks moment created by makeup artist Lisa Aharon.

Regina King
Fresh, dewy, and flawless was on the agenda for Regina King’s look tonight, according to the star’s makeup artist Latrice Johnson. After a full skin-care routine, Johnson swept the Clinique Cheek Pop in Peach Pop to the apples of King’s cheeks and dabbed the Clinique Pop Splash in Bubbly Pop to her lips.

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga doesn’t do anything half-assed. Take, for example, her literal head-to-toe monochromatic beauty look, which is one for the books. Shout-out to her genius glam squad — makeup artist Sarah Tanno and hairstylist Frederic Aspiras — for this show-stopping moment.

Lili Reinhart
We live for a monochromatic makeup moment, and Lili Reinhart’s red shadow certainly didn’t disappoint. The Riverdale star’s fiery eye shadow is courtesy of makeup artist Adam Breuchaud, who used Pat McGrath Labs.

Janelle Monae
While we can’t take our eyes off of Janelle Monae’s glow-y skin, her gold hat sure is fun to look at, too.

Saoirse Ronan
Sometimes, all you need is a bright red lip — and not much else — to pull off one of the brightest (and simplest) looks of the night.

Penélope Cruz
“[Penélope] is the ultimate dolce vita icon with her flawless, glowing skin, hypnotizing eyes, and seductive, pillowy-pink lips,” says makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury. Honestly, we couldn’t agree more.
VALERIE MACON

Caitriona Balfe
Caitriona Balfe accessorized her center-parted bob with sweet, delicate diamond-encrusted barrettes.

Emmy Rossum
Another monochromatic makeup look for the books. This time, it’s a pretty pink moment on Emmy Rossum, courtesy of makeup artist Jo Baker.

Jessica Chastain
We’re just going to say it: Jessica Chastain’s ponytail is major. “The height of her ponytail allows her to look flawless from straight on and really complements her profile — so from all angles the hair looks simple and elegant,” says hairstylist Renato Campora. He kept the two-part, sky-high style in place all night using the Sally Hershberger 24K Supreme Body Volumizing Mousse.

Jamie Lee Curtis
All hail the queen! Jamie Lee Curtis hit the red carpet in all white and drapped with diamonds, including her shimmery smoky eye.

Kate Mara
Looks like Kate Mara may have taken a page out of sister Rooney Mara’s beauty book (and we’re totally OK with that). Hairstylist Ryan Richman crafted the star’s intricate ponytail by weaving a golden rope-like material throughout the updo. It’s so chic we wish we could show you the look from every angle — but isn’t that what Instagram is for?

Cody Fern
Can we just say we’re living for Cody Fern’s liner moment? That is all.

Emily Blunt
Drawing inspiration from Joan of Arc, along with the texture of the Alexander McQueen gown, hairstylist Laini Reeves created a messy Dutch braid for Emily Blunt. “We landed on [the fish tail] because it showed femininity, but with an un-done texture,” says the stylist.

Emma Stone
“I wanted to enhance Emma’s natural beauty,” says makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. Which is why the pro opted for creamy, peachy-pink eye shadow with enough shimmer to pick up the sparkle from her beaded gown, along with a slightly pinkier lipstick.
