The Oscars…Tinseltown’s biggest night is finally upon us - thank goodness the writer’s strike ended! Sadly I couldn’t attend, but luckily I was able to spot three key trends from my very own couch!

~ LIPS: Retro is out (finally!), and modern is in. With the exception of Katharine Heigl (who went for full-on red lipstick), the lip color of choice was glossy nude. Cate Blanchett, Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Renee Zellweger, Hilary Swank, Keri Russell… The list goes on and on. A few gals went for a flesh pink look: Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Ellen Page, Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus… The point is, hopefully the ‘Old Hollywood Glamour’ phenomenon will be given a rest for a few more seasons…

~ HAIR: Pulled straight back is oh-so-boring! These ladies LOVE wearing their locks off-to-the-side: Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Garner, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, and Kristin Chenoweth, just to name a few.

~ EYES: Hilary Swank, Jennifer Hudson, Penelope Cruz; Oh, the drama, drama, drama! Between out-to-there lashes and sparkly silver eyeshadow, on tonight’s red carpet, the eyes have it.
