Blackpink’s Lisa turned heads at this year’s Oscars with a bold beauty statement that fused contrasting styles. Instead of choosing the typical Hollywood red carpet glam, the K-pop star delivered a unique mix of preppy hair and gothic nails.
Performing at the ceremony, Lisa wore a tuxedo-style gown and matched it with dramatic, ombré nails. Her soft stiletto-shaped manicure featured a striking fade from deep black at the tips to smoky white at the base. The edgy gradient offered a moody contrast to the event’s usual elegance. Nail artist Juan Alvear created the look using Après Nail Gel-X Sculpted Stiletto Extensions and a blend of Après shades: Midnight Shadow, French Black, and Cloud Nine, which was airbrushed to create the smooth fade.
While her nails leaned dark and daring, her hairstyle brought a retro-preppy twist. Lisa’s light brunette hair was teased at the crown for a ‘60s-style lift, styled in soft waves, and complemented by long bangs that brushed her lashes. The effect drew comparisons to Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl fame—headband not included.
Her makeup completed the chic fusion. Lisa wore a precise black winged liner, rosy cheeks, and a touch of highlighter down her nose. Pale pink, glossy lips added a sweet finish.
In a night known for standout beauty moments—like Cynthia Erivo’s golden nails and Lupita Nyong’o’s pearl accents—Lisa’s combination of classic prep and edgy goth added a refreshing twist. Her look was unexpected, bold, and one of the evening’s most memorable.
