Oscars 2012: The best beauty looks

From Old Hollywood glamour to sleek and chic, we bring you all the hottest beauty looks from the red carpet.

 KATIE HOLMES
Katie, who normally favours the less-is-more mentality, went for a smoky eye and a bee-hive. We like the new glamorous look.

 KATE BOSWORTH
A simple up-do and natural make-up let Bosworth's amazing dress and perfect bone-structure do the talking.

 ELIZABETH OLSEN
Flowing locks and peachy lips are a fail-safe combination. Match that with flawless skin and a couple of freckles and you're good to go.

 ESPERANZA SPALDING
Who needs make-up when you've got an afro this wild? Jazz singer Esperanza keeps it simple with a hint of eyeliner and a natural base as she wows the crowd with her rendition of Louis Armstrong's classic, What A Wonderful World .

 GLENN CLOSE
The grand dame of the American film industry (she's a six time Academy Award nominee) goes for soft golden waves and glowing skin, and looks amazing.

 GWYNETH PALTROW
Her Tom Ford dress is already making headlines but let's not forget Gwynnie's perfectly polished pony-tail and healthy glow.

 JANUARY JONES
The classic Hollywood wave and strong lip made up for Jones' poor choice of Oscar outfit.

 JENNIFER LOPEZ
Sticking to a tried and tested formula, J-Lo knows what works for her. Smoky eyes, a nude lip, and her trademark doughnut hair never looked better.

 LILY COLLINS
Our new style crush, Lily Collins' strong brow and never ending lashes have got us all in a flutter.

 MICHELLE WILLIAMS
Williams can do no wrong with her punky white crop and a slash of pink lipstick. Liquid eyeliner adds a touch of coquettish glamour and stops the whole effect from being too harsh.

 MILEY CYRUS
Ranch girl Miley is almost unrecogniseable; gone are the bleached locks and frosty lips of yesteryear, and in their place are sophisticated curls, lustrous lashes and strong brows.

NATALIE PORTMAN
Portman won an Oscar last year for her role in Black Swan . This year her side parting and glossy finish get our vote in the beauty awards. 

 ROONEY MARA
Her high fringe is quickly becoming the must-have cut of the year, framing her flawless skin and bold lip choice.

 ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY
Not quite a Croydon Facelift, Rosie opted for a sleek centre parting and low ponytail to let her Antonio Berardi gown do all the talking

Blonde vs Brunette

 Victoria Beckham
Back in the day, Victoria looked quite the WAG with her white bob, leopard print dress and pink bra on show before transforming herself (along with her hair!) into a well-respected business woman.

 Beyoncé
Pop princess Beyoncé used to wear her hair sleek and silky on the red carpet but in recent months she has opted for a more wild, blonde 'do'.

 Cameron Diaz
Cameron didn't let her darker hair colour wash out her skin tone, although before long she restored her blonde, wavy hair.

 Cheryl Cole
Cheryl's hair makeover, which she unveiled on the evening of her birthday party, was created by L'Orèal colourist Amie Wilson. It was a huge transformation from her long, chestnut hair.

 Emma Stone
Actress and red carpet regular Emma Stone often experiments with hair colour, including this auburn look and a more casual blonde up-do.

 Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth dabbled with dark hair for a while before realising that her natural blonde was far more flattering.

 Jessica Alba
Mum-to-be Jessica Alba changed her hair colour and matched her tan to it with great results.

 Kate Hudson
The actress tried to go incognito when she dyed her normally blonde hair to dark brown and donned oversized sunglasses and a straw hat.

Agyness Deyn
Supermodel and style chameleon Agyness dyed her boyish crop from darkest of browns to peroxide white.
