EC Trend Report: The 83rd Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet Watch

Posted February 28, 2011 by Suzy Kenny.

Oscar winner Natalie Portman in beautiful plum colored Rodarte gown with Tiffany & Co. Jewels and Jimmy Choo shoes. 

The biggest night in Hollywood is all about sophisticated glamour. Shades of red and purple were popular colors at the Oscars this year. Many gowns were detailed in lace or adorned with delicate beading, in silver and pearl tones. Hair was styled in loose brushed out curls or sleek and pinned back; most celebrities wore subdued makeup, leaving embellished evening dresses as the main focus.

Bright Color: Florence Welch looked divine in Valentino Haute Couture. Wearing a muted beige gown let her fiery red hair pop. Make a statement this spring with a bold color change. Book in at EC today to update your color.  

Lovely Locks: Scarlett Johansson looked stunning in a Dolce & Gabbana gown. She left her hair down, showing off her modern shag haircut, styled to enhance her natural texture. To achieve this look apply EC curl cream to damp hair, working from root to end and diffuse with hair dryer. Finish by spraying sections with EC to the Edge hairspray and curling hair around the T2 Tourmaline Flat Iron, then separate curls with fingers.

Best New Look: Jennifer Hudson keeps looking better and better. Last night she walked the red carpet in a halter-cut tangerine Versace gown. What a fantastic dress to show off her beautiful new body, magnificently fitted and bursting with color. Today is your last chance to vote for your favourite candidate to win a customized makeover package from EvelineCharles Salons & Spas.

Best Overall Look: Cate Blanchett looked fierce arriving in a fashion forward, lavender Givenchy Haute Couture gown- one of her all-time best looks. The cut, beading, and lime details are unexpected and very welcome. She let the dress shine by keeping hair simple, skin flawless and makeup subdued.
