Graphic Eye Makeup and Big Hair—the Golden Globes Proved the '60s Are Back, Baby
The 80th Golden Globes on Tuesday marked the kickoff to our favorite season: award season. Not only do award shows give us incredible, meme-worthy moments that will be cemented in the cultural zeitgeist for years to come (see also: Jennifer Coolidge saying she’d like to play a dolphin in her next role), but they also give us some of the best style inspirations possible.
Whether it’s the incredible fashion or the tantalizing beauty, red carpet style will always reign supreme. Not only is it fun to look at, but the red carpet also often serves as a harbinger of trends to come.
This year, red carpet beauty made one thing abundantly clear: the '60s are back in a big way. From graphic eye makeup to '60s-inspired hairstyles, we’re pretty sure 2023 will have a major '60s revival. Keep reading for our favorite red carpet beauty looks that drew major inspiration from the decade.
