Since 1920s Hollywood, the red carpet has been a grandiose location for the best beauty moments in history. And tonight, the biggest names in fashion held onto the tradition of glamor at London’s Royal Albert Hall in honor of the 2024 British Fashion Awards.
Rihanna, in an archival Christian Lacroix couture hat, sheathed her mid-length black hairdo with the exception of two face-framing strands. Arguably the evening’s loudest ensemble, her understated no-makeup makeup recalled fashion’s muted past. Seen on a number of supermodel guests—like Precious Lee and Joan Smalls—was sculpted eye makeup featuring a mélange of deep tones.
While Georgia Palmer, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Yvonne Orji’s quiet grunge makeup leaned into wabi-sabi beauty, Anok Yai’s seconded the trend, but with a chopped and spiked pixie cut. To juxtapose the stone tones, new romanticism had a moment with near identical beauty looks on Chloe and Halle Bailey: circular blush, side-parted locs, and a light pink lip.
Below, take a look at the best beauty moments from the Fashion Awards red carpet.
