The 29th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are underway on Sunday, Feb. 26, and the show is already bringing the heat – especially in the beauty department. With a nominee list that reflects all the hottest actors of the year – from Michelle Yeoh to Jennifer Coolidge to Quinta Brunson – it should come as no surprise that the evening’s hair, makeup, and nail looks would be just as off the charts.
The best glam of the night so far include (but aren’t limited to) matching outfit/hair accessories, elegant updos, and lots of new twists on your standard french manicure. With the latter, “rich girl” nails were all over the red carpet (on Aubrey Plaza, Jenna Ortega, and more), while Niecy Nash-Betts kept it simple with a cloudy french. In the hair category, volume reigned supreme – from Amanda Seyfried‘s half-up ponytail to Meghann Fahy’s ’90s blowout – as did curtain bangs. And, of course, the cast members of your favorite shows like “The White Lotus” and “Wednesday” shone on the red carpet with hair, makeup, and nail moments that deserve awards of their own.
Take a look at the best beauty looks from the show ahead. We promise you’ll be starry-eyed.

Meghann Fahy's '90s Blowout at the SAG Awards
This year has seen the big return of the ’90s blowout, so it only makes sense that the “The White Lotus” star brought it to the SAG Awards. Hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg used products from John Frieda Hair Care and the old-school, tried-and-true method: a round brush, roller clips, and a blow dryer.
