Oscars:
THE HAIR STORY
he 88th Academy Awards was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood at
the end of February. This year’s Oscars was notable for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the lack of diversity among the nominees,
which many were quick to point out. Host Chris Rock kept his criticism
lighthearted by referring to the event as the “white Oscars” and centering
his comedy monologue around the controversy. Academy president Cheryl
Boone Isaacs made a more serious statement addressing lack of diversity among the
nominees. It was an exciting night for Leonardo DiCaprio, who won the award for Best
Actor after having been nominated six times. Brie Larson took home the Best Actress title,
and Spotlight won best picture.

More than anything, though, we were focused on the hair, and the stars did not disappoint. Whoopi Goldberg sported her signature locks on the red carpet, and Brie Larson
wore a gorgeous hair pin on her half up-do. Also wearing a half up-do and adding a
sleek bun was Alicia Vikander, who won the Best Supporting Actress award for her
role in The Danish Girl. Relaxed waves were a big hit, as seen on Naomi Watts and
Sophie Turner, and a more Hollywood inspired wave was worn by both Lady Gaga
and Emily Blunt. Scandal star Kerry Washington and Sofia Vergara wore effortless
ponytails. Braids were back this year: Chrissy Teigen wore her long hair in a gorgeous loose braid, and Olivia Wilde kept it simple with a braid framing her up-do.
The men also looked dashing: Leo, Mark Ruffalo, and Eddie Redmayne wore a
more traditional coif, while Dev Patel kept his locks loose and long, and The Weeknd,
who performed during the event, sported his signature style.
