Rachel McAdams wearing a sleek slegant hairstyle at the the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Rachel McAdams looks beautiful with blonde hair, although I do love her brunette versions as well. This hairstyle is beautiful and would work perfectly for Proms, weddings or any elegant events. Pay close attention to how she has the top loose but held nicely (most likely with a quality hair product of course). The sides are tight but not too tight and she paired a great pair of earrings to go with the look as well!

Mariska Hargitay wearing a messy updo hairstyle with bangs at the the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA. While this hairstyle is elegant with a little bit of that “messy but sexy” look. Mariska Hargitay has been using similar hairstyles for events and while it does work for her, you can only push a hairstyle so far, so many times and so many versions. She should opt for some more cleaner elegant hairstyles even that frame her face which does look good on her but the same old thing is well getting old. Love Mariska Hargitay’s recent elegant hairstyles but it is totally time for a much needed change!

Miley Cyrus wearing an elegant updo hairstyle while attending the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA. This hairstyle has a very sexy and messy feel which I love. It’s elegant but as Miley Cyrus likes it , it also makes her look older with a little sex appeal as well.

I particularly love Nicole Richie’s rich dark color which I think is a very big step up from her washed out trashy blonde colors she used to run around with when younger. This hairstyle is not only elegant but shows Nicole Richie is maturing into a beautiful tasteful individual unlike her used to be counter-part Paris Hilton.

Jennifer Aniston’s Academy Awards Hairstyle

Jennifer Aniston opted for a simple hairstyle while attending the 81st Annual Academy Awards.

Jennifer Aniston kept her washed out beachy blonde locks and opted for a simple braid at the hairline for her hairstyle at the 81st Annual Academy Awards. While its obvious this hairstyle took little time it still overall completed her look for the awards show.

Jennifer Aniston is attending an elegant event, so you would think she would have opted for a more glamorous look with her hair other than something that would look better with jeans and a t-shirt. Something her “rival” Angelina Jolie has down pat and Jennifer Aniston could really take some pointers on, or hey even better steal Angelina Jolie’s hair stylist and maybe finally somehow call it even?. Regardless I am very disapointed in this hairstyle and how many times we run into a few celebrity hairstyles at elegant events that are better suited for a event that calls for simple dresses and jeans, than for gowns and tuxes.

Love This Look?
A very easy celebrity hairstyle to achieve you can start dry or just freshly towel dried hair. By using a round brush and blow-dryer create soft subtle waves. Pin back strands from the hairline to braid after you have achieved the waves you desire, then braid those strands and pull back, tuck under ears.
