Oscars 2013 Beauty: The secrets behind Jennifer Lawrence’s red carpet hair, makeup and manicure
If you’re a fan of Jennifer Lawrence, her appearance and win at last night’s Academy Awards was the epitome of JLaws amazingness. (And if you still need convincing that she’s the best, watch her post-Oscars win interview. If you don’t have a mega crush on within the first 60 seconds, please see a doctor to check your pulse.) While Lawrence has had both red carpet hits and misses over the past year, from the dress to her hair and makeup, last night’s look was completely flawless. As such, it makes sense that you’d want to know all the secrets to Jennifer Lawrence’s Oscar style.
First up: Hair. Dove celebrity stylist Mark Townsend was the man behind Jennifer Lawrence’s Academy Awards hair and clearly he’s on team Jlaws: “Jennifer Lawrence is a dream to work with, she is so unbelievably fun and inspiring,” he said of the experience.

Jennifer Lawrence sizzles in Calvin Klein at the Oscars 2013 Vanity Fair after party

Just when we thought Jennifer Lawrence couldn’t top the frothy pink Christian Dior Haute Couture princess gown she wore on the red carpet at last night’s Oscars, we saw the photos of her after-party look from last night’s Vanity Fair soiree. Yowza.
Lawrence wore a custom beaded gunmetal grey Calvin Klein Collection dress that just oozed the star’s signature va-va-voom appeal. Featuring a low cut bodice, thin spaghetti straps and a body-hugging slim shape, the dress was certainly a departure from the actress’s awards ceremony look, which some might say was a bit too fairytale for the typically more edgy star. But, hey. What could be more fairytale than winning your first Academy Award at only 22 years old? Nothing, probably. Lawrence paired the shimmering gown with simple earrings, bangles and a ring from Shay Jewels.
We loved her Dior Haute Couture gown, but the Calvin Klein Collection dress seems to suit her more. What do you think? Cast your vote in our red carpet poll!

Oscars 2013 Beauty: JLaws, Jessica, Charlize and more! The top 4 trends in hair at the Academy Awards
See the top hair trends from the Oscars 2013 red carpet »
From side-parted curls to cropped cuts, hair at the 2013 Oscars played it safe—but with maximum results. Dare we say there was not a single bad hairstyle at last night’s award show? Three leading ladies—Jennifer Lawrence, Naomi Watts and Amanda Seyfriend—wore their blonde hair in similar styles on the Oscars red carpet: pulled into a low chignon with volume at the crown. This romantic look was more about loose texture than showing a sleek style, and considering that all three women have a bit of a natural wave to their hair it was a smart move by their hairstylists. When it comes to marathon events like the Academy Awards (which, from prep to afterparty can last for more than 15 hours) it’s always wise to choose a style that works with your natural hair texture—there’s simply too much time for anything else to fall flat or frizz out.

Oscars 2013: 20 of the red carpet’s best dressed at this year’s Academy Awards

The yearlong reign of Angelina’s Right Leg has officially come to an end. Oscars 2013’s fresh crop of red carpet wows is sure to erase that blunder from our minds, at least for a few days.
Last night’s red carpet was awash with the spectrum’s palest shades. From the serene to the layer cake-like, white and pale pink took top A-list honours. And starting at the very top, Academy Award winner for best actress, Jennifer Lawrence, did Christian Dior proud in her latest look from the house. Plucked from the house’s Spring 2013 couture collection, the frothy pale pink dress was a much more feminine look than we’re used to for Lawrence, but beautiful just the same. As for that pre-acceptance speech slip up the stairs? We’ll just file that, along with this list of her epic Oscars facial expressions, away with all the ways she’s endeared us to her. Another in the pink corner, was supporting actress award winner Anne Hathaway, who stunned in a sleek petal pink Prada dress. And where the extreme side-boob pleats made for some easy jokes by many, we are head-over-heels for the look, especially its open back detailing which Hathaway paired with Tiffany & Co. jewels worn backwards.
Charlize Theron made the strongest case for white, wearing one of the night’s best dresses, another Christian Dior Haute Couture, featuring a deep V-neck strapless cut and a slight peplum waist. Babe, to say the least. Also sporting pale shades, were Zoe Saldana, Kristen Stewart and Amanda Seyfried, in varying shades of grey and cream, and Oscars 2013 nominee Jessica Chastain, who did her best Jessica Rabbit in a stunning light copper and white custom Giorgio Armani dress.
And speaking of Armani! While the rest of red carpet season seemed to be deadset on introducing the world to younger talents like Erdem, Marios Schwab, Simone Rocha and Alexander Vaulthier, Giorgio Armani made a big statement last night, with Chastain, Naomi Watts and Quvenzhané Wallis helping to reclaim its red carpet domination.
