By now, you're likely familiar with our beauty crush on the lovely Jennifer Lawrence. But our love affair had to start somewhere, and we can pinpoint the exact moment: When she stepped out with this effortless blowout (and her curve-hugging red gown) to the 2011 Oscars.

Has there ever been a more perfect cat eye? Possibly, but we haven't seen one. Jessica Chastain's flirty, perfectly lined cat eye from the 2012 Oscars was the perfect addition to her loose, wavy half-updo.

Of course Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw to those of us obsessed with Sex and the City) would show up to the 2009 Oscars with the most perfect vintage beauty look. Her glossy curls, glowing skin and minimal makeup remind us of a simpler, more elegant time in beauty.

We love a redhead who's confident enough to rock a red lip. Amy Adams is always fearless with her beauty looks, so it was no surprise when she paired her glossy waves with a bold red lip for the 2008 Oscars.

Michelle Williams's most shocking beauty move of all time? Chopping her hair into that amazing pixie. Her best Oscars beauty moment? This perfectly balanced look from 2006. The rosy red cheeks, bold red lip, subtle glow and perfect lashes combined to create one beauty look we won't soon forget.

Some celebs are just known for their cool girl locks. Gwyneth Paltrow certainly does long, straight hair like no one else, but her glam take on the easygoing look in 2007 had us all staring. The key? The slight bounce and major shine!

There are some hairstyles you just never forget. Mila Kunis' romantic, ethereal side chignon was the highlight of our 2011 Oscars experience. Oh yeah, and her flirty violet dress wasn't too shabby either!

After you cut your hair short, highlighting your features with makeup can become even more important. Anne Hathaway sure knows that, and showed off her gorgeous bone structure and pretty features with a flirty pink lip, glowing skin and bold brows at the 2013 Oscars.

Hey Barbie! Reese Witherspoon's 2011 Oscars hairstyle reminded us a lot of our favorite childhood doll. Seriously, how can we get that unreal volume?
