We have done a Colour Analysis at the 2025 Oscars.
Always ahead of the curve, celebrity stylists, hair, and makeup artists must stay ahead of trends to ensure superstars shine on the red carpet with the latest trend, being a colour analysis.
The latest trend seen at the 2025 Oscars is colour analysis.
But what is colour analysis?
Colour analysis examines the colours of a person’s skin, eyes, and hair to help identify their most flattering colours for clothing, jewellery, and makeup.
Anyone can use colour theory to improve their styling and makeup by analysing their skin’s undertones, which can be warm, cool, or neutral.
The concept of having a colour analysis done has become a popular social media trend from viral videos of Korean colour analysis to TikTok filters that emulate it, to well-known YouTubers and vloggers, even booking a consult and filming the whole experience.
The interest in styling clothes, makeup, and jewellery to suit your complexion and undertones has become the next big beauty trend.
Here’s how celebrities used colour analysis to enhance their looks on the red carpet for the 2025 oscars.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has been on her wicked press run since last year, sporting pink outfits to match her iconic character, Glinda, in the film.
To the naked eye and regular person, the look and makeup for Ariana’s styling would be just seen as pink; however, taking a closer look, one would notice the curated selection of shades of pink that match Grande’s undertones.
Ariana fits into the winter category for her complexion, with cool but lighter tones enhancing her features. The compliment of her blonde hair and paler skin means cool-toned pinks have been the go-to for styling. Her makeup is enhanced with warm blushes and silver, almost white eyeshadow.
Grande walked tonight’s Oscars red carpet in a champagne Schiaparelli dress, silver De Beers jewels, and Jimmy Choo shoes. The champagne accentuated her warmer tones and complimented her lighter complexion.
Cynthia Erivo
The gorgeous Cynthia Erivo has joined Grande on the wicked press run, wearing green and black outfits to match the film’s central character, Elphaba. Like Grande, the shades of green have been curated to match and complement Erivo’s complexion.
Cynthia is in the deep autumn category. Carrying bold, rich colours like emerald green, deep burgundy, royal blue, black and gold, complementing her skin in her red carpet looks. Likewise, in her styling, the colours of the clothes bring out her complexion, embellishing her gorgeous skin.
Erivo’s opulent complexion is highlighted by wearing a custom dark emerald green Louis Vuitton gown with silver Roberto coin jewels. The green draws out her gorgeous skin tone while not drowning her, a perfect and dynamic pairing for this year’s the Oscars red carpet.
Demi Moore

Demi likely fits into the cool summer category. She looks stunning in muted, cool tones like soft lavender, dusty rose, slate blue, and grey. Pastels and medium-toned colours (not too bright or dark) suit her well. Avoid overly warm or neon shades, as they clash with her cool undertones.
Sporting an all silver Giorgio Armani privé dress with Chopard jewels, Moore’s cool summer styling draws out her warm features and accentuates her look into a youthful glow for this red carpet.
Zoe Saldana
Rich, intense shades that enhance Zoe Saldana’s high-contrast features and warm undertones best compliment her colouring. Leaning towards deep autumn, she can confidently wear bold, saturated colours that accentuate her natural beauty.
Zoe’s warm undertones and high-contrast features make her look stunning in rich, saturated colours. Deep autumn shades like burnt orange, olive green, and warm burgundy will enhance her natural glow.
Adorned in an auburn Saint Laurent dress and silver Cartier jewels, Saldaña exudes the essence of deep autumn in this look on the Oscars red carpet.
Mikey Madison
Mikey Madison’s natural colouring suggests she belongs to the soft summer category. Characterised by muted, medium-contrast tones that harmonise with her delicate features and neutral-cool undertones. Mikey’s natural auburn hair and fair skin indicate she can wear warm and cool tones, though she prefers muted, medium-contrast shades.
Soft autumn colours like terracotta, olive, and warm neutrals will enhance her look if she leans warmer. Conversely, soft summer colours such as lavender, dusty blue, and muted pinks will highlight her features if she leans cooler.
She sported a soft summer look on the Oscars carpet wearing a pink Dior gown with silver Tiffany jewels, all working to enhance her complexion.
