The 6 Best Hairstyles From The Academy Awards

The 6 Best Hairstyles From The Academy Awards

The 89th Annual Academy Awards went down this past Sunday and if you tuned in (or not, since Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram were lit with the rundown from start to finish), you know it was nothing short of dramatic. From the gowns to the snubs to the shocking ending, the award show was a great nightcap.

The red carpet wasn't as awe-inspiring as we would've liked, but a few stars brought their A-game with not only their style but their manes. Check out our favorite looks below!

Monae ditched the puffs she's been wearing during her Hidden Figures and Moonlight promotional tours and opted for this cute little pixie. Janelle was blessed with features that give her the freedom to rock any style!

We LOVE this auburn and cinnamon tinted dye job on Emma! She's giving us total Katharine Hepburn vibes.

We love the simplicity of Ava's half-updo with her locs, the look lets her beauty shine through while still creating some drama.

This double chignon style was probably our favorite hair look of the night. Shoutout to Hailee Steinfeld's stylist!
