The Award For Biggest 2022 Oscars Beauty Trend Goes to Middle Parts

With the 2022 Oscars officially underway, we've got our eyes peeled for the best celebrity beauty and makeup trends. One we immediately noticed? The middle part. It seems as though the viral middle part vs. side part debate started by Gen Z a few months ago has been settled, at least according to those attending the Oscars.

Becky G, the Haim sisters, Maddie Ziegler, and Vanessa Hudgens were just a few celebrities seen walking the red carpet with their middle parts on full display. Becky G popped up on the red carpet with a slicked-down middle part coupled with loose waves, and sisters Este, Alana, and Danielle Haim all opted for middle parts with straight hair. Ziegler wore her hair in a low bun with a middle part and loose face-framing pieces, while Hudgens wore a high slicked-back braided bun with a middle part.

Whether celebrities were wearing their hair up or down, middle parts still reigned supreme. Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite stars' stunning middle-part looks.
