Oscar Nominations 2025: Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Angelina Jolie and More Snubs and Surprises
Kylie Jenner was missing a valued member of her glam squad on 2025 Oscars night.
The Kardashians star’s hairstylist Jesus Guerrero passed away last month at age 34 and, according to her makeup artist Ariel Tejada, had been looking forward to seeing Kylie at her first-ever Academy Awards with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. (See all the Oscars arrivals here.)
“Today was really hard without you, but I know how excited you were for Ky to attend the Oscars,” Ariel wrote on Instagram March 2, sharing a photo of Kylie in her black Miu Miu gown with her hair styled in loose waves. “I felt your energy guiding us today.”
Ariel—who collaborated with Jesus on multiple occasions—added in his tribute, “I hope we did you proud. we love you forever.”
Indeed, both Ariel and Kylie had a close bond with the late hair guru.
“Family is not always just assigned at birth sometimes they are chosen and you were my chosen family,” Ariel shared on Feb. 22, describing Jesus as “my Anchor, my Rock”
