From her shimmery lips to her gilded lids to her simply styled hair, Elizabeth Banks looked absolutely stunning on ‘The Hunger Games’ red carpet. The best effect was definitely her half updo that pulled her hair up and out of her face and left attention on her eyes and mouth. Her blonde locks looked sleek and shiny and had just the right amount of poof at the crown. 

Nicki Minaj may not generally be my cup of tea, but I was speechless when I saw her fabulous line of nail colors for OPI. Each color is more marvelous then the next, beginning with Pink Friday and ending with her own special shatter shade, Super Bass Shatter. Leave it to Hip-Hop’s current “It Girl” to be a part of nail colors so amazing they ALMOST make me rethink my stance on acrylic nails — I’m sure they’ll look just as good on my natural nails, though.

Cameron Diaz looked amazingly put together on the red carpet for the 84th Academy Awards. And all credit for her glowing makeup job goes to celebrity makeup artist, Robin Fredriksz. Using a smattering of Lancôme products, Robin gave Cameron a look we’ll all remember for it’s simplicity. 

The most glamorous night of the year—the Oscars—has come and gone once more. And now that a few days have gone by, we’ve culled our favorite trends of the evening. Here are the ones we liked the most.

Red lips
Angelina Jolie and Milla Jovovich both brought the drama with one of the red carpet’s bolder trends of the evening, the red lip.

High, voluminous updos
Tina Fey, Jennifer Lopez and Shailene Woodley all proved that bigger is better with buns and chignons that were high, poufy and totally drama-filled.

Glamorous ponytails
Leslie Mann, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sandra Bullock all went for ponytails—but, rather than looking simple or little girlish, they were uber-glamorous and chic.

Dark manicures
While many celebs opted for really pale nails, a few starlets took some chances with their nail color on the red carpet. We love the dark manis worn by Kristen Wiig, Octavia Spencer, Kate Mara and Melissa McCarthy.

Thick, blunt bangs
Who knew girly bangs were making such a comeback? We love the blunt fringes seen on Rose Byrne, Rooney Mara, Anna Faris and Ellie Kemper.

Pink lips
Some celebs opted for a slightly subtler lip color than red, which was just so sweet and feminine on the red carpet. We love the pink lip colors chosen by Natalie Portman, Emma Stone and Michelle Williams.
