2015 Academy Awards Trends: Simple Updos, Smooth Styles & Red Lips

There was a lot of beautiful hair, makeup and fashion at the 2015 Academy Awards! Embellished dresses were not to be missed, and as a consequence of perhaps the super-glammed gowns and the less-than-ideal rainy weather, there were a lot of no-fuss hairstyles trending—but we didn't mind.

So much of being a stylist is knowing when you need to let something shine, such as a gorgeous dress or bold makeup, and it seems like a lot of behind-the-scenes stylists were doing just that. 

Take a look at the trends we noticed:

  • Updos: Sleek, low-key upstyles
  • Down styles: Smoothed, side-parted shorter styles
  • Makeup: Red lips
  • Color comeback: chunky highlights
