Omar Apollo made a striking appearance at the 97th Academy Awards, turning heads on the red carpet with a unique and unexpected look. Collaborating with stylist Brandon Tan, the duo aimed to push boundaries in men’s fashion by incorporating a birdcage veil into Omar’s outfit, inspired by the desire to create something fresh and innovative. The Valentino ensemble paired with the veil was a perfect match, creating a standout moment for the singer.

Working on the grooming aspect, hair and makeup artist Anna Bernabe aimed to blur the lines between masculinity and femininity. Using strong hair products for sharp, graphic hair sculpting and various shades of blush for a rosy flush, the overall look was a perfect balance of edgy and soft. Adding depth to his cheekbones and defining his eyes with black liner, the makeup artist shared a clever tip for achieving a natural, lived-in liner effect – squeezing the eyes tightly.

The combination of bold fashion choices and creative grooming techniques resulted in a memorable red carpet look for Omar Apollo at the Oscars. Stay tuned to witness more stunning looks from the 2025 Oscars Red Carpet!
