If you were to come up with a list of the most iconic women in film, Demi Moore would undoubtedly feature somewhere on the list. With appearances in nineties blockbusters like Ghost and G.I. Jane and more recent films like Substance – for which she became an Oscar winner in 2025 – she is very much up there, once holding the title of the highest paid actress in the world.

As such, many of Demi Moore’s best looks, in both fashion and beauty, have served as cultural references – but here we’re focusing on the latter, revisiting some of our favourite glam looks from her hair and makeup archives.

Without further ado, here are some of our all-time favourites from the star…

Easily one of our favourite ever Demi Moore beauty looks was when she stepped out for the closing ceremony of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with this eye-catching flush of glowy pink on her cheeks.


Copy Demi's look...

Undone updo

For the 2010 Oscars, Demi opted for an elegant updo, with most of her hair swept to one side and some loose curls on one side at the front for a nice bit of asymmetry. She paired this with tightlined eyes and a sheeny pink lipstick.

Metallic shades are both ultra-wearable and an easy way to elevate your makeup look without much effort – we love these copper shades on Demi's hazel-green eyes, paired with a deeper rose lipstick for the 2024 amfAR Cannes Gala.

The topknot

Ah, the topknot. Here, Demi showcases how this easy, reliable hairstyle can work for both days off and special occasions. Makeup-wise, she paired this classic 'do with defined, lined eyes, radiant skin and rosy pink lipstick – one of her go-tos.

The fishtail braid

We love a statement plait, like Demi's fishtail braid, worn to one side for the 13th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards back in 2011. The look was complemented by a classic smokey eye and a generous wash of the best bronzer to warm up her complexion.

Classic wing

Eyeliner is such a versatile product that lends itself to so many different looks, but the classic flicked wing will always have a place in our hearts, as seen on Demi for a photo call during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Rose gold sparkle

This look incorporates everything you need for a winning soft glam look with pink tones: fluttery lashes, a slick of liner, rose gold sparkly shadow and pink cheeks and lips – as seen on Demi at the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards.

Complementing the utterly chic outfit, this look is visual proof of the power of the best highlighter in action, working perfectly alongside this dark steely, smokey eye look for an FYC Red Carpet Event in 2024.

Feeling like a softer and more modern take on Brigitte Bardot's iconic signature hairstyle, we love Demi's lengthy hair worn in this half up half down hairstyle to the LACMA Art + Film Gala back in 2016.

The long pixie cut

Though she later made longer hair her signature look, this longer layered pixie cut remains one of Demi Moore's most recognisable looks from over the years, around the time of her appearance in Ghost in 1990.

Old Hollywood glamour

This hairstyle just screams "Old Hollywood" to us, with the deep set waves and swept over section of hair at the front of Demi's face. She kept the rest of her makeup fairly classic alongside this timeless look.

Looking straight out of the 1940s with these big barrel curls pinned under a beret, Demi's makeup was kept mostly soft and subtle with a berry-raisin shade of lipstick as the focal point for this shot around 1992.

Soft and sparkly cut crease

With a lot of contrast in the crease of her lids and accentuated with a peachy glittery, metallic shade of shadow, the attention was all on Demi's eyes for her appearance at the 2024 Met Gala – easily one of our favourite glam Met Gala makeup looks.

When it comes to pulling off red lipstick, a crisp and saturated sweep of colour is usually the go-to – but these shades look great with a really blurred, "dabbed on" effect, too, as Demi proved at the 2024 Hamptons Film Festival with this look.

Mermaid-esque hair

Falling in cascading, glossy waves, this extra-long hairstyle on Demi is giving us a kind of mermaid-like feel, don't you agree? She stepped out with this eye-catching look for the 2019 Met Gala, the theme for which was "Camp: Notes on Fashion".

Big pin curls

Though this picture was technically taken in the 1990s, we feel like this look of Demi's has a definite '80s hairstyles feel to it, paired with an eye-catching red lip and long lashes for a red carpet appearance.

With the dead centre parting and her lengthy tousled hair kept away from her face and swept over to one side, this look manages to feel quite intense in the best way (and a little Game of Thrones somehow!). Demi paired this with lashings of mascara and a soft red lip.

The buzz cut

For her role in the hit action film G.I. Jane, Demi shaved her hair into an ultra-short buzz cut, which really highlighted her bone structure. She kept her makeup fairly minimal, with a soft smokey eye and a little lip gloss, for the New York premiere of Striptease in 1996.

This is probably the hairstyle that comes to mind for most people when they think of Demi Moore: ultra-long, smooth and sleek dark hair. It's been her signature hairstyle, on and off, for decades – she paired it with lashings of the best mascara and a glossy coral lip for the Cheaper By The Dozen premiere in 2003.
