They’re Here, and I’m Sat: The Most Breathtaking Beauty Looks From the 2026 Actor Awards

We need not remind you that award season is in full swing, with the last few weekends playing host to a smattering of glitzy red carpets (hey, Golden Globes and Grammys), bespoke designer gowns, and cutting-edge tuxedos (we won’t soon forget Bad Bunny’s Grammy-sweeping Schiaparelli ‘fit). However, we may need to remind you that you do, in fact, know what tonight’s award show is—it’s just henceforth going by a different name. The Actor Awards have been renamed after 32 years of being known as the SAG Awards, a decision reached by the SAG-AFTRA Awards Committee and main showrunner to make things more obvious—and though the title has undergone a rebrand, the on-stage glamour remains.

The Actor Awards are the final key benchmark before the Oscars on March 15, meaning that tonight will set the scene for what kinds of results we’ll expect on Hollywood’s most prestigious stage come mid-month. While we can’t wait to learn the fate of each nominee tonight, we beauty editors are eagle-eyed on the small details that bring their couture ensembles to life. The romantic tendrils, painted lips, and silky nail polishes we see on these carpets exude the kind of Hollywood glamour that inspired us into these careers, and we’re already swooning over the looks floating down the red carpet. Keep scrolling for the ones that are bookmarked in our brains.

Irina Shayk brought smoldering supermodel glamour to the red carpet this evening. Her striking makeup holds nothing back, pairing a smoky eye with geometrical lower liner and a bright red lip. To balance the statement look, the model kept her hair loose and seemingly natural, with a touch of wavy texture.

Quinta Brunson made a show-stopping appearance thanks to her elegant glam: a matte brown eye and rich red lip combo. She pulled everything together by coiffing her Zoë Kravitz-esque bixie into classic, glossy waves with a romantic kiss curl at the center.

If you need us, we’ll be staring off into space thinking about Michelle Williams‘ dreamy bubble bob. The Dying for Sex star wore her blonde tresses tucked behind her ears and dramatically flipped inward to create the chic, bouncy style we’re currently saving to our hairspo boards.

We might as well call this stunning serve from Chase Infiniti the gasp heard ’round the world. Rihanna-esque diamante naked dress and matching cap aside, Infiniti’s glam deserves a round of applause. From her delicately drawn-back strands to her toasted blush and silver eye shadow-accented inner corners, every bit of the actress’s glam feels intentional.

Another day, another Mia Goth slay. The Frankenstein star wore her glossy brown strands in a sweeping, straight style, with her bangs parted into a thick curtain style. Her simple glam accentuates her features in all the right ways—including a thin swipe of jet black liner and what we can only assume are pillowy Nina Park lips.
