Oscars 2013 Hair & Beauty
We present our own hair and beauty awards to the stars of this year's Academy Awards red carpet. And the Glamour Beauty Oscar goes to…
Best Crop: Anne Hathaway
Our Best Crop gong goes to Anne Hathaway, whose pixie ‘do still continues to wow us with every outing. For her big Oscars moment, Best Supporting Actress Anne teamed her chic crop with feline flicked eyes and a hot pink pout. Winning.
PA PhotosBest Bouffant: Adele
Adele continued her love affair with retro beauty for her big Oscars moment, teaming her stunning black, embellished Jenny Packham gown with this half-up/half-down beehive and her signature heavy liquid liner and lashings of lashes.
PA PhotosBest ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ Moment: Jennifer Aniston
Our Jen stuck to her signature beauty formula of super-sleek and polished tresses, an enviably-glowing LA tan and that winning smile. However, the starlet broke tradition by abandoning her traditional black and sporting a show-stopping cherry-red gown by Valentino.
PABest Natural Beauty: Jennifer Lawrence
Can this girl do any wrong? Well, she did trip up the stage steps when collecting her award… But that just makes us love her even more. As does her subtle yet shimmering Oscars beauty look. Jen let her natural beauty, not to mention her Dior Couture gown (swoon) do the talking, sweeping her locks back for a soft, romantic up-do and giving her eyes, lips and skin a spot of shimmer and sparkle.
PABest New ‘Do: Charlize Theron
One word: Wow. Charlize looked show-stoppingly-stunning (and very Sharon Stone-esque) with her blonde, edgy new crop and soft pink make-up. Top marks for the no doubt tinted and impeccably-groomed brows, too: a MUST if you’re going to pull off such a severe and daring ‘do.
GettyBest Haphazard Hair: Kristen Stewart
Never one for elaborate and polished ‘dos, Kristen worked her signature tousled tresses – with quintessentially cool two-tone colour job – with her dreamy, creamy skin and a subtly-smoky eye.
PABest Silver Screen Siren: Jessica Chastain
Jess is fast-becoming one of our favourite new hair icons. This stunning side-parted mane of deliciously strawberry blonde waves was reminiscent of golden era legend Rita Hayworth – especially when teamed with lashings of lashes and the Hollywood staple: show-stopping red lippy.
PABest Up-Do: Naomi Watts
Often, styles are lost in a red carpet sea of up-dos, but there was no danger of us missing Naomi’s. We love her body-beautiful French twist with loose tendrils, teamed expertly with glowing skin and on-trend spiky lashes. And just wait ‘til you see what was happening south of her shoulders…that silver sequin creation by Armani Prive. Swoon.
PABest Veronica Lake Impression: Reese Witherspoon
Not a red carpet season goes by without one starlet paying homage to the golden age. This year, Reese stepped back in time to channel Veronica Lake with these beautiful, tumbling blond waves.
PABest Pop of Colour: Amanda Seyfried
Kudos to Amanda for having some fun with her palette at the Oscars. In a sea of smoky eyes, the starlet stood out with this refreshing pop of shimmering purple, teamed perfectly with this edgy, futuristic-style up-do
Rex FeaturesBest Ballerina Bun: Kristin Chenoweth
Kristin took the bun to dizzying new heights with this head-turning top knot. The musical star teamed her ‘do du jour with darkly smouldering eyes and a nude gloss.
PABest Romantic Heroine: Amy Adams
Best Supporting Actress Nominee Amy Adams looked every inch the romantic heroine with this softly-coiffed beehive and sweeping bangs, paired with barely-there make-up and a spot of red carpet shimmer.
GettyBest Chignon: Jennifer Garner
Chignons are ever-popular amongst the A-list when there’s a red carpet a’calling, but our Best Chignon gong goes to Mrs Ben Affleck herself. Jen teamed her chic yet romantic ‘do with enviably-glowing skin and that infamous smile.
PABest ‘No Muss – No Fuss’ Award: Kerry Washington
Django Unchained starlet Kerry keep things simple, letting her coral Miu Miu gown do the talking. Her centre-parted, subtly-tousled tresses and nude lips left all eyes on the dress – and those smouldering smoky eyes.
PA PhotosBest Veteran Beauty: Nicole Kidman
Nicole showed New Hollywood how it’s done with this soft up-do, with naturally-curled loose tendrils, and an on-trend pop of pink on that famous smile.
PA PhotosBest Polished Perfection: Sandra Bullock
Sandra gave <A href="https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/jennifer-aniston%22 target="_new">Jennifer Aniston</a> a run for her money (and us some serious hair envy) with her perfectly-polished and über-glossy raven mane. Paired with her signature smoky eyes and nude lips. Stunning.
Rex FeaturesBest Palette-To-Flatter: Zoe Saldana
Zoe is clearly a beauty who knows her winning formula. The über-desirable lavender shade of lippy and mocha Eyeshadow she wore for her Oscars red carpet turn could have been made for her. Zoe, we salute you.
PABest Retro Beauty: Olivia Munn
We LOVE this look. Olivia wins our Best Retro gong with ease, teaming this super-chic 20s-inspired chignon with heavily-lined eyes (complete with feline flicks) and a to-die-for shade of show-stopping red lippy.
PA PhotosBest ‘Edgy’: Halle Berry
Never the wallflower, Halle worked her signature crop with a little texture, a lot of teasing for her red carpet moment this year. Clever highlights helped give this edgy ‘do dimension, while the shimmering hazelnut-hued eyeshadow gave her look a sparkly finish.
PABest Nod to the Oscars Statue Itself: Naomie Harris
Skyfall starlet Naomie made like an Oscars statue, dripping in gold. As well as her an eco Vivienne Westwood gown, the actress adorned her eyes in shimmering gold shadow, her lips in nude-gold gloss and her décolletage in gold-accented body shimmer.
Rex FeaturesBest Bob: Zooey Deschanel
Fashion Eds’ darling Zooey has always been a red carpet favourite at GLAMOUR.com Towers, and she didn’t disappoint this season either. Once we’d forced our eyes away from her stunning, embellished, blush-hued Valentino gown, we had to force them from her über-cool new bob: Retro and super-cute, we LOVE.
PA PhotosBest ‘I want her look’ Look: Lily Collins
Now here’s a look we can get on board with for your average girls’ night out – without a red carpet in sight. A sleek, super-glossy centre-parted up-do? Check. Well-defined brows? Check. Feline flicks? Check. And not to mention a subtly-coral lippy. Lily, we salute you.
Rex FeaturesBest Hair Accessory: Emily Rossum
Emily looked positively-regal - not to mention super-cute - with this vintage bejewelled Alice band and matching earrings ensemble: A great way to dress up a low bun and barely-there makeup.
PA PhotosBest 'Dare to be Different' Moment: Kelly Osbourne
Never the wallflower, Kelly worked her punky-purple hair hue into a chic French pleat, securing that strong side parting with a cute embellished clip. Rock Royalty Miss O finished her look with on-trend spiky lashes and a slick of orange-red lippy.
Rex FeaturesBest Vamp: Kim Kardashian
Yummy mummy-to-be Kim K gave oodles of va-va voom with her vampish look; namely a sleek, glossy mane, lashings of lashes and a berry-stained pout.
Getty ImagesBest Classic 'Do: Kate Beckinsale
Kate sure knows how to style that infamous, enviably-glossy mane of hers, and this particularly up-do is one of her staple, red carpet looks. We like. We also like her daring pop of shimmering shades of green on the eyes.
PA PhotosBest 'We should hate her, but we don't' Moment: Miranda Kerr
Sigh, Miranda is so beautiful - she never gets it wrong. From her Veronica Lake-esque waves to her statement coral-red lips, we want to look exactly like her. We also want to be married to Orlando Bloom, but that's a different gallery...
