The British Academy Film Awards<\/a>, also known as the BAFTAs<\/a>, are the biggest night in British film. Though there is a special emphasis on honoring home-grown entertainment, the ceremony celebrates cinema from around the world \u2014 meaning stars<\/em> from around the world are always in attendance. Such was the case for the 79th ceremony, held Feb. 22 and hosted by Alan Cumming. And as always, the A-listers brought their beauty A-game. <\/p>\n

Before launching into the absolute best beauty moments of the night, however, let\u2019s get into the longlist (in honor of the BAFTAs themselves<\/a>). The White Lotus<\/em>\u2019 Aimee Lou Wood<\/a>, One Battle After Another<\/em> breakout Chase Infiniti<\/a>, and Game of Thrones<\/em> star Nathalie Emmanuel<\/a> proved that an updo is always a good idea for a formal event, while Best Actress winner Jessie Buckley\u2019<\/a>s slicked-back bixie felt fresh and looked elegant. Kate Hudson<\/a> channeled Grace Kelly to stunning effect with understated makeup and not a single hair out of place, Sadie Sink<\/a> put a sophisticated touch on the classic bombshell blowout, and Rose Byrne<\/a>‘s smoky brown eyeshadow created the perfect soft contrast with her blush-pink cheeks and lips.<\/p>\n

And now, the envelope please. Scroll on for five BAFTA beauty looks that stole the show, including an impossibly cool bixie, fun frosted eyeshadow, a manicure that stunned from every angle, and more. <\/p>\n

Best Bixie: Gracie Abrams<\/h2>\n

Who needs a hydro bob when you can wear a hydro bun? Kerry Washington\u2019<\/a>s piecey, swept-back chignon added a modern touch to her embellished Prada gown.<\/p>\n

While there were a few standout statement lips (special shoutout to K-Pop Demon Hunters<\/em>\u2019 Audrey Nuna<\/a>) and several reds and pinks, true neutrals \u2014 often paired with \u201cno-makeup makeup,\u201d like Odessa A\u2019Zion\u2019s \u2014 were the name of the lippie game.<\/p>\n

Teyana Taylor<\/a>\u2019s custom Burberry might have been one of the evening\u2019s buzziest ensembles, but let\u2019s hear a little commotion for the matching mocha cat-eye mani. \u201cLet me just say, coordinating the nails to your look even with having gloves over is the finest, ultimate detail,\u201d nail artist Sarah Chue captioned the look<\/a>, and we must agree.<\/p>\n

Best Use of Color: Wunmi Mosaku<\/h2>\n
