Trend Alert: Up Up And-A-Wave At The 2009 SAG Awards
Last night at the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, the red carpet was filled with celebrities from television and film. In true Hollywood tradition, all of the women arrived dressed to the nines in ball-gowns and baubles from big name designers and everyone's hair and makeup was flawless.
Some of my favourite beauties were January Jones who looked slightly 70's with her loose waves and gold eye shadow, and Freida Pinto whose soft, smoky makeup enhanced her creamy caramel skin.
Sienna Miller vs. Keira Knightley: Whose Updo Do You Prefer?
Last night as Pop UK and Fab UK partied with Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Elle magazine to celebrate The Edge of Love film, they noticed a disheveled up-do trend emerging. Ok, so they didn't actually say it in those words, but that's beauty girl talk for – "Look Keira and Sienna have remarkably similar hair styles tonight!"
Keira's asymetric knot was bang on the money in terms of being prettily on-trend and I thought Sienna's messy chignon looked perfect for her bobo (boho bourgeoisie) style.
Trend Alert: Umbrellas and Updo's at The BAFTAs
All of the nominees who chose to walk tonight's BAFTA Awards red carpet wearing their hair up came out on top. About halfway through the glamorous coverage, the skies opened up and the rains came pouring down. Luckily, umbrellas and willing assisants were there to shield the dresses, tuxedo's and all of the hard work of makeup artists and hair dressers.
Love It or Hate it? Angelina Jolie's Bouffant Button Updo
Last night at the Benjamin Button premiere in Berlin, Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet looking mature and demure with Brad on her arm. Covered from head to toe in cream, her hair was upswept and asymmetrical. One side was pulled back and pinned into a twist whilst the other side was bouffant and fitted in a loose wave.
Trend Alert: Sleek, Chic Hair at The Golden Globes
The Golden Globes red carpet was filled with so many different beauty looks ranging from tomato stained lips, to loose waves, undone makeup and pink lips, however, the most prominent trend was slick, wet looking updo's. Kate Beckinsale even liked her hair so much from the Critics' Choice Awards that she even gave us a repeat performance. Others like Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Megan Fox, and Anna Paquin consistently change their hair, so this style was interesting and fresh.
Which Is Your Favorite Viennese Updo?
There are occasions like the Academy Awards where stars go all out and dress to the nines and last night's Opera Ball in Vienna, Austria was one of them. Every woman in the house was wearing a gala style gown, decadent jewels and had over-done hair. Here's a sampling of some of the looks on Dita Von Teese and Bettina Kofler (girlfriend of Austrian construction magnate Richard Lugner) whose hair kind of reminds me of this 1960's photo.
Love It or Hate It? Sarah Jessica Parker's Braided Bun
Is it the summer of braids or what? Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing a plaited bun at the opening of a Valentino fashion exhibition in Rome. I'm not sure that this heavy look is the most flattering choice for her, but I could be in the minority.
Love It or Hate It? Helena Bonham Carter's Deconstructed Updo
Here's Helena Bonham Carter at the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She's sporting a deconstructed updo, with ribbons intermixed with her wild curls. I don't think everyone could pull off this unconventional look, but I think it fits Helena's quirky personality well (and it makes me think of Hamlet's Ophelia).

Trend Alert: Faking a Shorter Style
Faking a shorter haircut by means of skillfully placed hair pins is nothing new. In fact, we saw Rosario Dawson do her own faux-crop late last year, followed by Nicole Kidman's asymmetric version. In recent times, the look has taken on resurgence in popularity, as celebrities have been tricking us out with their own adaptations, giving the appearance of freshly cut locks.
