CREAMY LIPS
With Hot Pink and metallics in fashion, just about everyone toned down the lip color to creamy neutrals and low-key shades of pink including Lady Gaga even though she wore black in the form an exquisite strapless Alexander McQueen dress.
THE GLOW ON
While some stars went for matte skin, several opted for a glimmer and glow on cheeks and eyelids like the make up on JLo and Regina King.
BRAIDS
Afrocentric braids reflected the current Black pride movement with Lisa Bonet, Amandla Stenberg and Danai Gurira wearing Oscar-worthy braids styles.
PONYTAILS & CENTER PARTS
With center parts and side parts, Serena Williams, Constance Wu and host Elaine Welteroth went for dramatic ponytails. But there was notable action in chic relaxed chignons.
