Beauty and Glamorous hairstyles usually come to mind when thinking about red Carpet Events. That’s exactly what the women of the 2011 Oscars brought to this year’s Academy Awards. From impressive waved updos to the straight and sleek, find out how you can achieve some of these popular hair trends.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Harry Josh of John Frieda created this sleek, straight, and simple look for Gwyneth Paltrow. Josh applied John Frieda’s new Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight ,blow-dried her hair with a Mason Pearson brush, and flat-ironed to finish. Flyaways were tamed with Full Repair Flyaway Tamer.
Hilary Swank
To complement Hilary Swank’s Gucci gown, stylist Robert Vetica created a sleek-at-the-sides asymmetrical chignon. “My inspirations were the romantic, elegant styles worn by Hollywood film icon Grace Kelly, though this is very modern, not retro in any way,” Vetica said. He used Moroccanoil Treatment to prep the hair, placed the hair into a chignon, and finished with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine spray hair. Anna Hu platinum and diamond earrings (affixed on each side of the chignon) added elegance to the chic style.
Nicole Kidman
David Babaii for Couture Colour gave Nicole Kidman a “playful ponytail” that was also inspired in part by Brigitte Bardot. Babaii used Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment to keep the hair shiny, blow-dried with the IT&LY Hairfashion Ionic Dryer and a round brush, and created a bump at the crown for a voluminous look.
Amy Adams
Stylist Laini Reeves for Couture Colour was inspired by Jerry Hall when creating Amy Adams’s sexy waves. To get the look Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment was used to prep the style, and Amy’s hair was wet-set using one-half inch curlers. When dry, her hair was brushed out to reveal soft waves.
Melissa Leo
Stylist Creighton Bowman created this effortless and carefree updo for winner Melissa Leo to complement the dramatic collar of her dress. Bowman used Leonor Greyl products in Leo’s hair, blow-drying with a medium-sized round brush so it wouldn’t be completely straight. After pulling the hair into a high chignon, Bowman used just four hairpins to secure the style.
Sandra Bullock
David Babaii for Couture Colour created this textured look for Sandra Bullock. He used Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment for shine, and then twisted random half-inch sections of hair, flat ironing them with the IT&LY Hairfashion Digital Styling Iron for texture. After pulling the hairstyle back into a ponytail, he then wrapped the hair around the band, securing with bobby pins.

‘MOVIE STAR’ HAIR SHINES ON OSCAR’S RED CARPET
Top 10 Red Carpet Hair Trends by Marc Anthony Celebrity Hair Stylist
Toronto – February 27, 2011 – A wave of high sophistication yet delicate charm flooded the Red Carpet at this evening’s 83rd Annual Academy Awards; it takes us back to the time of the ‘movie star’, when picture perfect glam was status quo.
It was a melting pot of decades – from soft 40s waves to sexy 60s bombshell – and every strand played its role to perfection. Tonight’s Oscar style had that gratifying feeling of “yes I worked hard to look this good and proud of it”.
1.Cate Blanchett
Cate’s cut was simply amazing. We love that she just got a perfect blowout and left it at that. Her side part looked flirty and the body in the blowout let it move with her. This was definitely a modern bob.
2.Anne Hathaway
Anne wore an amazing red dress on the Red Carpet. This was a great colour for her and so were her lovely highlights. The bits that were left out at the front gave it a young look but the overall feel was very grown up. The clean simple low bun wrapped and tucked into a half circle had a very 40s feeling to it.
3.Reese Witherspoon
Her high ponytail was very Bridget Bardot in feeling – it was so polished and elegant. This look works well when you Velcro roller the hair before hand for a fuller finish. Hair is wrapped around
the elastic and the pony is left to fall naturally.
4.Sandra Bullock
Her messy bun worked because it was not tight or overly contrived. She has left her hair natural with that great wave and then pulled it up for a very modern finish. We’re glad that she pushed that heavy fringe off of her face.
5.Scarlett Johansson
Her short, blunt cut really worked for the Red Carpet. She may get a bit of flack for the casualness of her hair but with her classic look she could have easily looked overdone. This was a nice balance. The simple blowout and lightly curled finish looked modern and fresh, which is something she does not always get right. This time she did.
6.Hailee Steinfeld
Perfectly grown up her look was just right for her age. The modern twists in this could have been a tad too mature but were made soft by their execution. Two bits twisted together and wrapped over and under worked well and the hair band kept it young in feeling.
7.Celine Dion
Celine arrived with shine, body and a very cool mix of Veronica Lake and Victoria’s Secret. Hair loosely wrapped around a large barrel curling iron has never looked so good – You go Miss `Canadienne`.
8.Mila Kunis
We loved Mila Kunis’ Red Carpet hair. A few finger waves as a nod to the 30s with a semi messy bun loosely pinned in the back to make it modern.
9.Michelle Williams
We love that her hair is a bit longer now. If you wear you hair short making it too fussy can make you look older. Michelle kept it simple which is the best way to wear shorter hair and her side swept fringe really worked.
10.Penelope Cruz
Perfectly smooth, sexy, modern hair. She bounced back after having a baby and kept her look classically simple. This woman is so stunning that simple works amazingly well on her.
