A Timeline of Sandra Bullock's Best Beauty Looks, From “Speed” to “The Lost City”

The Oscar-winning actress looked resplendent at the U.K. screening of her latest action-adventure film The Lost City earlier this year. With a head full of cascading waves and a matte pink lip and subtle smokey eye, her soft glam complemented her colorful Carolina Herrera jacket.

Bullock understood the assignment when she stepped onto the red carpet at the 2020 Golden Globes. The actress was a vibrant vision in her sunny marigold dress, which she wore with a tousled lob, peach-toned makeup and her signature smile.

Day-um, Sandy. You get a two-syllable expletive for this look. We love the way her sleek, center-parted bob frames her doe-eyed features here. And that tomato red lip matches her ravishing Martin Grant gown to a T. Bravo to her glam team for this one.

The actress took a departure from her typically soft glam for a sultrier look at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015. Between the heavy-set fringe and moody makeup, we almost didn’t recognize her, but it’s Sandra Bullock we’re talking about here, so of course she still looked stunning.

Here she is looking like a Bohemian princess with her earth-toned makeup and breezy updo. With two, face-framing tendrils (which, btw, are back in style) and a miniature crown braid, we’re willing to bet this look was saved to many a bridal Pinterest board.

You could say that Bullock looked out of this world at the premiere for Gravity at the Venice International Film Festival. Her voluminous hair seemed to defy, well, gravity. OK, corny jokes aside, we really did appreciate the contrast between her tousled updo and the sharp lines of her dress.

If you had to encapsulate a look that defined the early-mid 2000s, this is it. Sunkissed highlights, a ton of bronzer, frosted lips and long, layered necklaces to adorn your equally long tank tops and/or belted dresses.

This is right around the time when Bullock cemented her status as rom-com queen with her blockbuster hit Miss Congeniality. In revisiting this look, we’re reminded once again that Y2K beauty really is back. Just look at those skinny brows and money piece highlights!

It’s amazing what a difference a couple of years makes. Even in 1999, you get the last vestiges of ‘90s grunge on Sandra here with her brown-toned lips and mussed up hair. (Also, does anyone else see the slight Dua Lipa resemblance?)

Considered by many as her breakout role, Bullock won America over with her turn as Annie Porter, a heroic passenger on that fated bus. Her mischievous grin and girl-next-door vibes are on full display here, along with her striped overalls and barely-there makeup.
