It’s Oscar night! With the 98th Academy Awards kicking off tonight, March 15, at 7 PM EST, the world is holding its breath for the Best Picture announcement. But if you’re anything like me, the real competition starts on the red carpet.

While the winners are still a mystery, one thing is for sure: Teyana Taylor is going to wow us with her style. Nominated for her first-ever Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Taylor has already proven she’s a fashion chameleon, and we can’t wait to see the ensemble she brings to the biggest stage in Hollywood.

If there is one thing we can count on, it’s a hair moment. At previous award shows, she’s kept her signature wispy pixie cut in perfect shape thanks to one of her go-to brands, SheaMoisture and styled by Nikki Nelms:

“When I’m creating a look, I use products that make the art come alive while taking care of the hair itself. I like to use the SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Define and Shine Styling Gel and SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Smoothing Oil because it treats the hair’s health while making the style last.” — Nikki Nelms

Below, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite picks for recreating the look, including the specific SheaMoisture essentials Teyana’s team used to prep her award-winning Golden Globes style.
