The Best Beauty Looks From The 2019 NBA Awards
By Jennifer Ford · Updated October 23, 2020

Last night, Shaquille O’Neil hosted the 2019 NBA Awards at Barker Hangar, in Los Angeles California. Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo was given MVP over Houston Rockets’ James Harden, and Clipper’s Lou Williams beat out finalist for the Sixth Man Award. But as for the best beauty look of the night, everyone went home a winner.

On the red carpet, stars like Tiffany Haddish and Angela Rye stunned in chunky braids. Then there was Issa Rae’s pore-less skin that made us do a double take. While the ceremony was created to honor some of the best NBA players in the game, there were a handful of ladies present with hair and makeup deserving of praise.

Check out all the amazing beauty moments you may have missed below.
