There's no better place to scope out Hollywood beauty secrets than at the World Series of red carpet events. Check out stars like Jennifer Lopez, Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman, whose flawless Oscar beauty never ceases to amaze. 

 

 

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman was a stand-out at the 2009 Academy Awards in an unconventional pastel Rodarte evening gown. Her make-up was designed to highlight the soft floral hue of the chiffon dress. Natalie's eyes were bordered with a deep purple and faded into a soft lilac shadow.

 

 

 

Beyonce

Beyonce is never one to shy away from dramatic beauty looks, and for that we love her. The starlet's cat eye at the 2005 Academy Awards was intensified with a metallic line and false lashes. Beyonce drew attention to her high cheek bones by lining them with red and highlighting the apples with white shimmering powder.

 Charlize Theron

It's impossible to forget the bronzed blonde bombshell who received the Best Actress Oscar in 2004. Charlize Theron graced the Academy Award red carpet in a sparkling Gucci gown that accentuated her fresh tan from South Africa. Her makeup hues were earth tones to play-up the sun-kissed look.

Kirsten Dunst

In 2007 Kirsten Dunst added drama to her baby blue organza evening gown with a bold red lip. Her crystal blue eyes were played down with a cream tinted shimmer as to not fight the crimson lip hue.

Salma Hayek

In 2005 Salma Hayek left her lips bare to feature her gray-bordered eyes and choppy bangs. She used blush lightly on the apples of her cheeks and wore a soft white shimmer under her eyes for added brightness. 77th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals.Kodak Theatre, Hollywood & Highland, Hollywood, CA.February 27, 2005.

Hilary Swank

Two time Academy Award winner, Hilary Swank, let her backless dress do the talking at the 2005 Oscars while leaving her cosmetics subtly beautiful. The actress wore a glittering gloss on her lips and highlighted her hazel eyes with a salmon shadow. She finished off the clean look with shimmering white under the outside arch of her brows. 77th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals.Kodak Theatre, Hollywood & Highland, Hollywood, CA.February 27, 2005.

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore looked like a Jane Austin novel at the 2005 Academy Awards with her voluminous airy updo, porcelain foundation and red lips. Drew lined her eyes with dark silver liner that faded into a hint of purple shadow, fnishing off this romantic look. 77th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals.Kodak Theatre, Hollywood & Highland, Hollywood, CA.February 27, 2005.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson looked like a modern day princess at 2005 Academy Awards with her blond ringlets and regal makeup.

1. Sandra Bullock 2010

Sandra Bullock's 2010 awards season was one for the books: She cleaned with a Golden Globe, SAG, and BAFTA for her role in The Blind Side, then took home the Oscar (just days after winning a Razzie for Worst Actress for her All About Steve part). It was epic. Her then-husband Jesse James cried when her name was called, then we all wanted to cry for her again when it was revealed weeks later that he'd been having an affair with a whole lot of tattoo models.

2. Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron turned heads on the red carpet at the 2003 Oscars, then she went on to win the Best Actress prize for her role in Monster during the show. She became the first person from Africa (she was born in South Africa) to win an Academy Award in a major acting category.

3. Beyonce (2005)

Beyonce was asked to perform during the 2005 Academy Awards. She performed three songs at the show, including a duet with Josh Groban, and was generally well-received -- except some people claimed she butchered the French language during her performance of "Vois Sur ton Chemin." Yikes.

4. Jamie Foxx (2005)

Jamie Foxx was so excited to win the Best Actor prize for Ray in 2005 that he got onstage and kissed presenter Charlize Theron! He brought his daughter Corinne as his Oscar date and said when he got to the podium (while on the verge of tears): "I want to thank my daughter, who said to me before I got up here, 'Dad, if you don't win tonight, you're still good.'" Aww!

5. Reese Witherspoon (2006)

Reese Witherspoon went from playing a ditzy sorority girl in Legally Blonde to playing Johnny Cash's wife in Walk the Line, a role that earned her the Best Actress Academy Award. She gave an emotional acceptance speech, thanking her kids ("who should be going to bed") and quoted June. She said at the end of her speech: "People used to ask June how -- how she was doin'. And she used to say, 'I'm just tryin' to matter.' And, I know what she means, you know. I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody."
