2010 Oscar's Updos Review

Jennifer Lopez Updo

Jennifer stole the red carpet spotlight with her stunning Giorgio Armani dress and Ferragamo satin pumps. We barely noticed the enormous diamond-studded earrings as our attention was fixed on her spectacular updo hairstyle. She has the front lifted a tiny bit to give her some nice height in the form of lovely waves back to the crown. The curls are left loose to give more of a softer, messy look to this updo. Take notes girls, this will be a popular one for prom!

Rachel McAdams Updo

Rachel McAdams wore a similar looking pulled back updo which helped distinguish her charming neckline. The combination of the strapless gown and the pulled back hair is a perfect combination for her longer face shape. We were expecting more of a half up half down look and for her to somehow incorporate her famous bangs but we’ll settle for this elegant look nonetheless.

Miley Cyrus Updo

As you can see, updos were the hairstyle of choice for the stars last night. Miley Cyrus followed suit with a wavy puffed look that was an excellent complement to the long gold earrings. It seemed as though the trends of the night included a strapless gown, gold jewelry and a pulled back elegant updo. It’s hard to believe that this is Billy Ray’s daughter already grown up!

Did anyone else see the awkward red carpet moment where Miley’s mom showed Ryan Seacrest her back tattoos? Mrs. Cyrus looked fabulous and was not shy at all in showing her affection for Ryan. Perhaps next time Billy Ray will stick to her side!

Amanda Seyfried Updo

Amanda Seyfried’s updo was our absolute favorite of the night. The ‘Dear John’ star wore a chic modern bun that was the work of celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh. We didn’t know that Amanda had it in her but she showed off a remarkably elegant side of her at this year’s awards. In her interviews and then while presenting, none of us could take our eyes off of her.

While Amanda has been in the business for a number of years, we believe that ‘Dear John’ will catapult her into A-list status before long.  She has a number of projects in the works and this is a face (and updo!) that will not go away anytime soon.  So if you’re unfamiliar with her work, we recommend the following:

1. Dear John – love story about circumstance and difficult decisions.  Be sure to bring a pocket full of tissues to this one.
2. Mean Girls – this is a great high school movie that stars Rachel McAdams.  True to hit a chord with everyone!
3. Mamma Mia! – movie version of the Broadway classic!
