Cameron Diaz rocks the "natural, surfer-chick" look better than anyone, but at the Academy Awards, we expected her to glam it up a little. Instead, all we saw was a messy ponytail and (far too) minimal makeup. Maybe our standards are too high since she normally looks so gorgeous, but we were disappointed. Cam, you can do better.

This was Ellen Page's night to shine as a first-time Best Actress nominee. Instead she faded into the background with a slightly smoky eye and natural-looking lip. Her hair slightly covers her face instead of framing it, as if she couldn't decide between an up-do or a down-do. We applaud her for not looking too mature (she is only 21), but such a gorgeous girl could have had more fun with her look.

We give Calista props on her better-than-natural makeup and glowing skin. But we wished she would have spent a bit more time on her hair. True, it was a windy and rainy day, but plenty of other stars managed to keep their hair under control. Instead, she looks like she's wearing the style we all wear when we hop in the shower and want to avoid getting our hair wet.

Tilda Swinton's bold hair color by Christophe and volumized style by Jamal Hammadi was striking -- we couldn't take our eyes off of it. But she failed to balance the strong look with notice-me makeup. Her deep green eyes, and really her entire face, seemed to disappear. A little mascara and eyeliner would have punched this look up and bumped her into our favorites list.
