2007 Academy Awards Oscars Hairstyle Reviews

The 2007 Oscars brought together some of Hollywoods biggest name to celebrate some great movies presented the prior year. Movies like Alejandro González Iñárritu's Babel, Martin Scorsese's The Departed, and Bill Condon's Dreams Girls were just a few of the big blockbusters. The Oscars is one of the biggest if not the biggest award show for movies and those attending definitely looked their best in designer dresses and suits, showing off jewelry, and sporting great looking hairstyles. The list of elegant hairstyles here goes on and on but there were some trends and a few that just seemed to shine above the rest.

Lets start with some of the longer, sleek hairstyles which were worn by some big names. Nicole Kidman seems to look fantastic no matter how she wears her hair and this long, sleeker look fits just fine. The front is just sleeked to one side and pinned behind the ear for a simple yet very effective hairstyle. The lovely Gwyneth Paltrow has a similar hairstyle but instead of pinning, is left to flow down the side of her face. Gwyneth looks beautiful in these hairstyles where the hair is left to just fall down naturally. Beyonce Knowles also went with the long hairstyle but with more naturally looking tousles and more volume at the top. All three beauties took a different approach and all three ended up with great Oscar hairstyles.

Now, we move on to a medium hairstyles that were the top looks at the Oscars. Starting with Naomi Watts, whose hairstyle includes a sweep of the front and smaller, curly locks on both sides that are scrunched up to fall right above the shoulders. The hairstyle is very similar to many classic looks and looks great with the lower neckline. Jennifer Lopez also wore a classic hairstyle with this great choice. The hair is swept up and to the right with bulkier curls than Naomi's hairstyle but provides a similar elegance. The hair is also scrunched right above the shoulders and the hair is brushed slightly back to display some gorgeous earrings. The last medium hairstyle presented here from the 2007 Oscars comes from Helen Mirren. This is a great look for the Oscar winner and really brings some energy and makes her look outstanding. The medium cut presented on her can definitely be used by many women of all ages for a similar appearance. Women out there that are lost with how to do their hair can definitely take lessons here.
No award show would be complete without some great looking updos and the Oscars did not disappoint. Starting with the simplest, Penelope Cruz went with the sleek back chignon. Her hair is combed back very tightly with a big bun at the back. This updo does not work for everyone but works for those with delicate facial features and well round face shapes as it tends to bring out the entire face more. Because Penelope has these features, the hairstyle looks great and the earrings really come out more as well. Jessica Biel went with a different updo which used wavy hair with a chignon. The front is waved and combed back loosely while the back consist of a simple bun to form an excellent hairstyle. Cate Blanchett is presented last because of the beauty of this updo. The hair features fine textured locks brushed to ones side with a little lift at the front. The hair is pinned in the back for an award winning look. This hairstyle is similar to Penelope's in that it will not be as appealing on everyone because it opens up the facial area more.

These hairstyles were some of the best looking ones at the 2007 Oscars and there were plenty more, including the breath taking Reese Witherspoon who wore a similar hairstyle that she displayed at the 2007 Golden Globes, that can be found at the official Oscar website as well as E!
