This year was disappointing, to say the least, as far as hair goes on the red carpet. There were more big stars there than usual, but not many took chances with their hairstyle. The dress and accessories were far better overall that the hair this year. Now to be fair, it was raining, but most had umbrellas. However, some of the hairstyles had less to do with rain and more to do with poor choice.
Let's start with those who missed it. Fergie was a disappointment . I love her long beautiful hair, but the color was too dark for the dress and there was no style there? Tina Fey wasn't far off with a half-up do, and bangs which were parted and too long. A very funny lady, but not a funny style. Now on to Marion Cotillard, I actually liked the up-do, just not with the asymmetrical dress, and no ear rings? How do you wear your hair up with no ear rings or necklace? Emily Blunt also falls in this category. She was wearing a very pretty pink dress that matched her skin tone and hair color very well, but choose to wear her hair down with soft curls and really no style? To round out those who fell short is, Jennifer Garner. One of my favorite actresses, I've loved her fashion sense in the past, but the this night was not one. The bangs were pulled back and up, but her long gorgeous hair was down in back, and didn't look like it had been touched with a curling iron or flat iron? Sorry Jennifer, but I call them like I see them.
This brings us to my favorite part, the winners! To me Courtney Cox had great hair. She wore a classic up-do with soft curls off the side, brilliant. Another great up style was worn by January Jones of Mad Men. Hers was very fashion forward with the use of an elegant black headband, to match her equally beautiful black dress. Up-do of the night however was worn by Kristen Bell. She got some grief for her short white dress, but I loved it! The hair was up very stylish in the back, and pulled back and down tight in the front and on the sides for the winner in this category.
My personal favorite is the long hair worn down. I know it doesn't look as elegant for awards shows, but done right I think its more stunning. Christina Hendricks of Mad Men, can really do know wrong when she wears her hair down as she did that night. Soft curls all over with all those layers, and it was parted in the perfect place. This style is very similar to the Jessica wig by Henry Margu. Number two for me was Julia Roberts, again soft long curls all over, and parted in the middle to show off those gorgeous red and blond color tones. How could we do this blog without mentioning Heidi Klum? She looked amazing with her beautiful blonde hair down in a perfect off the shoulder dress, very glamorous.
I saved these two for last because I thought they were the best in any category. Sandra Bullock was the only one for me who pulled off the half up style. Very elegant and up in back and on the left side, while slightly down and off her crown to the right were these beautiful soft curls. The grand champion of hair for the evening was Olivia Wilde. Again, to me the only one who got away with rockin the classic up pony. Pulled back softly on top and the sides with a high pony in back done to perfection! Thank you Olivia for showing us how its done.
Best self admitted use of a hairpiece goes to Giuliana Rancic. When Ryan Seacrest accused her of wearing extensions, she said "No, but the pony is a piece". It appeared to be the beautiful Jessica Simpson wrap around pony, but I don't know for sure.
