FNZ’s Best in Hollywood Hair: Oscar-Worthy Styles That Stole the Show

The 2025 Academy Awards brought more than just “best dressed” TikTok’s and “blind items” – it was also a night of stunning hair moments, crafted with the power of Dyson tools.

On the red carpet, stars like Selena Gomez, Demi Moore and Emma Stone showcased glamorous, meticulously styled do’s that paid homage to classic Hollywood elegance while embracing modern innovation.

From deep side parts and soft waves to structured finger waves, these styles were brought to life by some of the most sought-after hairstylists in the industry, using Dyson’s cutting-edge tools to achieve flawless finishes.

Here’s a breakdown of the Oscar-worthy hairstyles that turned heads on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Selena Gomez: Classic Hollywood Glamour

Styled by: Renato Campora

Inspired by the timeless elegance of Old Hollywood, Selena Gomez’s red-carpet look featured a deep side part and polished pin curls that exuded sophistication. Renato Campora prepped her hair with volumising and thermal protection products before using the Dyson Supersonic Professional Hair Dryer for a full, lush blowout. A sleek finish was achieved with the Dyson Corrale Styler, which smoothed flyaways while adding shine and structure to her elegant waves.

Demi Moore: Timeless & Powerful Waves

Styled by: Dimitris Giannetos

Drawing inspiration from Demi Moore’s stunning Armani gown and an iconic Vogue cover she shot with Mario Testino, Dimitris Giannetos crafted a look that was both glamorous and commanding. After prepping the hair for volume, he used the Dyson Supersonic Professional Hair Dryer to create a fresh blowout, followed by the Dyson Corrale Styler to create soft, structured curls. The final touch? A brush-out for effortless, cascading waves that framed Demi’s face with timeless elegance.

Emma Stone: Vintage Finger Waves with a Modern Touch

Styled by: Mara Roszak

Channeling the sophisticated aesthetics of the 1920s and ’30s, Emma Stone’s finger waves were a tribute to vintage Hollywood beauty. To achieve the sculpted S-wave effect, Roszak used the Dyson Supersonic Professional Hair Dryer at high heat for a sleek, frizz-free base. A styling cream added smoothness and hold, while careful combing and precision shaping created the perfect waves. A final mist of hairspray, sealed with a low-heat blast from the Dyson Supersonic, locked in the look for the night.

With Dyson’s advanced technology, hairstylists were able to create red-carpet styles that not only looked stunning but also maintained hair health and shine throughout the night. Whether achieving smooth, glossy waves or structured, sculpted styles, the combination of Dyson Supersonic Professional Hair Dryer and Dyson Corrale Styler proved essential in bringing these Hollywood-worthy looks to life.

As the Oscars continue to celebrate the best in film, the beauty industry is also stepping up its game – blending innovation with artistry to redefine red-carpet glamour.
