Oscars beauty looks are notoriously boring, so it was a delight to see a few upsets to the cliché tonight. There was Janelle Monáe in a radiant, gilded crown, and Halle Berry in a hairstyle that required its own ZIP Code. Thrown into the mix was Emma Stone wearing a pretty berry lip, and Kirsten Dunst, who kept it casual in a messy, asymmetrical faux-bob. For the best, weirdest, and chicest beauty looks from the Oscars, click the slideshow below.

Emma Stone - Most Likely to Cause a Surge in Lipstick Sales There's been nary few bold lipstick colors on the Oscars red carpet, but thank goodness for Emma Stone. Her lips look defined and the brick red (NARS Cosmetics Audacious Lipstick in Mona) is strong without overpowering her face so she looks classic and poised. Which is probably just as well, in case she wins tonight. Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Octavia Spencer - Most Gloriously Modern Hmm, this one is tough. Octavia Spencer arrived in a glorious feather Marchesa gown, but she also complemented the silvery frock with an asymmetrical hairdo. The short bob wins by a hair (sorry it had to be done).

Dakota Johnson - Most Suitable Hairstyle for Vanilla Sex Here lies the modern-day mullet of hairdos. It’s all business in the front, but a total party in the back. Definitely not BDSM-safe, though.

Ruth Negga - Most Regal Without Actual Crown Jewels A fancy headband that doesn’t read Gossip Girl or Blair Waldorf at all, but draws the attention elegantly to Negga’s face. Instead, it reads almost like an elegant, ruby tiara, and not at all retro. In fact, it was a Gemfields x Irene Neuwirth headpiece with 146 carats of rubies). Maybe that's Negga's secret to not having her head hurt all night while wearing a headband. Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Isabelle Huppert - Most Non-Instagram Beauty-Like Her lip is a strong but beautiful bright brick red, which is a nice change from all of the nude, overly lined lips that are so ubiquitous nowadays on red carpets. Her hair also looks shiny but not too coiffed (a style created by Marcus Francis for Suave). Most importantly, she looks happy and she’s actually smiling on a red carpet.

Darby Stanchfield - Most Likely to Cause Connie Britton to Sleep With One Eye Open Why hasn’t anyone recognized Darby Stanchfield as the person most likely to snatch the title of Best TV Hair from Connie Britton? At the Oscars, where hair can look overly shellacked, crunchy, or too done, Stanchfield’s hair looks effortless while still looking polished. But then again, it’s not entirely a surprise as Stanchfield was one of the Herbal Essences shampoo girls in that now-legendary commercial.

Sunny Pawar - Most Likely to Cause a Surge in Hair-Plug Appointments Tomorrow Give this guy’s groomer a raise. He’s so cute that he could have come on the red carpet with a Shia LaBeouf–like rat tail and everyone would have said, “Awwww.” But he clearly was born with a healthy head of hair and with just enough hair gel to make his hair look fancy. It’s enough to make Jeremy Piven look longingly over from another table. Keep an eye on this one, Dove Hair. Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
