If there was anyone that understood the assignment last night at the 2021 Oscars, it was Regina King. From head to toe, the actress stunned with her elegant gown, sultry makeup, and sleek angled bob that came together perfectly. Responsible for the hairstyle in particular was stylist extraordinaire Larry Sims, who crafted the bob using products created by himself and another successful actress: Gabrielle Union.
“For Regina’s look, the lines and shoulder detail inspired the look,” Sims tells ESSENCE. “We wanted to go with something sleek, modern & clean that wouldn’t compete with the structure and craftsmanship or the dress. We also wanted to show off Regina’s beautiful neck line.”
Oscar award winner H.E.R. did not come to play in a custom hooded cape by DUNDAS and Rocking long glamorous waves pulled to one side by her hair stylist Nina Monique. Pairing it with a deep crimson lip and a winged purple eyeliner.

Regina looked stunning in her custom Louis Vuitton gown. “I feel like a whole statue” She states on Instagram. The blunt bob created by hairstylist Larry Simms compliments the exaggerated shoulders of the dress. To get Regina’s look, Simms flat ironed her freshly chopped bob and finished her hairline with Flawless By Gabrielle Union Edge Control and tucked one side of her hair behind her left ear. Her makeup look by Latrice Johnson was created using Clinique Neutral Grey All about Shadow, Pretty Easy Liquid Eyeliner in black and Even Better Pop Nude Lip Foundation.

In a year that pushed the timing of the Academy Awards from its typical February date to a Sunday in late April, our stars showed up and out in a riot of color rivaling any spring garden. Whether in neon brights, jewel-toned hues or the poshest of pastels, this year’s red carpet was not only the most diverse in Oscars’ history (no, really despite a deeply disappointing and arguably disrespectful end to the festivities); it was also one of the most colorful, as the stars shirked of a year’s worth of mourning garments (and loungewear) in favor of a far more optimistic palette.
