More than just one of local television’s biggest nights, the Star Awards has also served up some of the most unforgettable hair and makeup moments through the years. As the show celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, we’re looking back at the most head-turning beauty looks of all time from Zoe Tay in 1994 to Kym Ng in 2006. Scroll on for the full list
Just two and a half months after giving birth to her first child, Rebecca stole the spotlight at the awards show with a sleek, shoulder-grazing lob and her signature radiant glow.
On the night she clinched both her first “Most Popular Actress” award and a spot in the “Top 5 Most Popular Female Artistes,” the veteran actress was the picture of elegance in a bold scarlet lip and ‘90s-style smokey eye, a beauty look as iconic as the moment itself.
Beachy, but make it glam. Fann dazzled in a shimmering Versace bustier dress, complemented by a luminous complexion, coral-hued pout, and effortlessly tousled waves.
Channelling peak Y2K style, Kym accepted her third “Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes” title with poker-straight brunette strands, sharply arched brows, and bronzed skin — no blush in sight.
The image of Jeanette lives rent-free in our minds: micro bangs, a sleek updo, bold brows, and a pinkish lip, a beauty combo that deserves its place in Star Awards history.
The 2023 Star Awards marked a milestone for Ann, who clinched her tenth “Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes” title. Fittingly calling her look a “perfect 10,” she stunned in a floor-grazing emerald gown with a sweetheart neckline that highlighted her collarbone and framed her chic lob.
The Emerald Hill leading lady and former K-pop girl group Skarf member never fails to bring her signature Korean flair to the red carpet. Embracing a classic K-beauty look, she accentuated her aegyo sal (under-eye fat) with glitter accents, paired with wispy lashes and blush-drenched skin.
Carrie brought full-on glam to Changi Airport and Jewel Changi with a plunging, bedazzled gown, wispy bangs, and a glazed, high-shine pout to match.
Lady in red, Jesseca Liu set the scene ablaze in a ruby toga Romona Keveza gown, finished with a bold swipe of perfectly matched red lipstick.
Ever the red carpet risk-taker, Chantalle went all out for her 2024 appearance with XXL extensions, a funky manicure, and smouldering, unforgettable eyes.
What a doll! Rui En emphasised her doe eyes with inky lashes, soft pink blush, and a monochromatic lip, celebrating her first Best Actress Award at the Star Awards for her role in With You.
