2008's Oscars Worst and Best Tressed!

Between the fringed and sideswept bangs, the 2008 Oscars brought out new and old styles in hair trends.

 

"Texture, color, style, and elegance are on the way live from the red carpet. Women saw and will continue to see a sense of glamour coming back into the styles for 2008, in hair, makeup and clothing," says Margie Wagner-Clews, Corporate Director of Education for Empire Education Group.

 

Jennifer Garner, Amy Ryan, Nicole Kidman, and Cameron Diaz sported sideswept bangs while Diablo Cody and Jennifer Hudson were trendy with their fringed bangs.

 

Several stars chose to summon the 1920s with finger waves like Juno star, Ellen Page and Untraceable's, Diane Lane. 

 

Starlets Katherine Heigl, Amy Adams and Marion Cotillard brought back old Hollywood pin curls reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe and Veronica Lake.

 

Loose and feminine buns were spotted on Kerri Russell and Jessica Alba who added pulled back braids, but the evenings most talked about bun belonged to Heidi Klum.

 

New trends were seen on Rene Zellweger, who unveiled her new pixie cut, and Miley Cyrus, who emerged with a sophisticated pony with a side part.

 

"Men are starting to leave the longer, un-tamed looks for more tailored, cleaner lines and finished styles. The stars are true trend setters when it comes to fashion, colors, make-up and hair style. This coming year will bring both style and fashion to a whole new height!" adds Wagner-Clews, noting the slick and simple tailored styles of Patrick Dempsey and George Clooney
