These 25 Celebrity Beauty Looks Were the Highlight of 2025

Keke Palmer lit up The Tonight Show with coral-hued glam that perfectly matched her dress, paired with copper waves that made the look feel bold and seamless. We love a coordinated moment with complementary fashion, hair, and makeup.

Kendall Jenner’s low bun, framed by loose, face‑softening pieces, was the definition of understated elegance. The simple hairstyle is elevated and timeless.

Dua Lipa always nails her manicures with the help of her iconic nail tech Michelle Humphrey, and this summer’s polka dot design sparked a trend that’s still going strong well into winter.

We saw no shortage of blush in 2025, and Olandria’s MUA Ngozi Edeme (aka paintedbyesther) isn’t shy about going heavy-handed. This popping pink moment under the eyes and all over the cheeks had us all immediately layering on extra blush.

Laufey’s hair gems are forever engrained into my memory. The subtle detail turned her hairstyle into a standout beauty moment all on its own.

Charli XCX slayed the Met Gala carpet with feather-framed hair, a neutral smokey eye, and bold brows.

Cole Escola is no stranger to big glam moments, and their princess-esque Tony’s look with a curly updo and shimmering silver makeup was my favorite from Broadway's big night.

If Taylor hits the red carpet, I can almost guarantee that she’ll be rocking a red lip. And this bold shade paired with her soft bangs and matching red dress and jewels created a glamorous moment in true Taylor fashion.

Lisa’s wispy bangs tapered perfectly to frame her face, while a voluminous bump atop her head added height and drama. The combination made for a standout hair look that balanced edge and sophistication effortlessly.

Tyla spent much of the year sparkling from head to toe, and I’m definitely not complaining. Her all-over glitter, from the high points of her cheeks down to her arms is the popstar glam we need more of.

Queen Bella served pure runway perfection at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with a bouncy blowout, dramatic side part, and her caramel-blonde color.

I love when Kylie goes bold with her glam, and she put a modern twist on old Hollywood glamour with a dramatic curly updo, bright pink blush, and sparkling eyeshadow.

Doja Cat is always serving unforgettable carpet moments, but I especially loved her voluminous blowout, sharp winged liner, and classic red lip—which she then proceeded to eat.

This pastel smokey eye paired with Gabriette’s classic thin brows created the edgiest glam that the internet became obsessed with. So much so, her makeup artist Ana Takahashi created a full tutorial on how to recreate the look.

Pamela Anderson’s makeup-free red carpet glam is always a favorite, and paired with her orange shaggy bob, it became our top look of hers this year.

Chappell is beloved for her signature drag-inspired looks, and this smokey eye with thin brows, yellow-blended blush, and gems paired with a glitzy headpiece is one of my all time favorite looks from her.

Sabrina Carpenter’s voluminous curls from her Short ‘n Sweet tour will go down in the beauty hall of fame. Not to mention, the look sparked a months-long a heated debate over whether it was her real hair or not.

Sophia Richie’s bob was genuinely the haircut heard around the world. It inspired countless people to go for a major chop, and we crowned it the biggest hair trend of the year.
