On the opposite end of the specturm, some starlets proved that less is more by playing up their natural lip color. Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts and Sarah Hyland opted for muted pink lips with a touch of gloss and pink cheeks to match for a soft, ballerina-inspired look.
Instead of the usual picture-perfect pin curls or evenly-shaped waves, we loved the undone "I woke up like this" looks Claire Danes, Mindy Kalling and Carice van Houten wore. Some might file this under the lazy girl's guide to the red carpet, but the high-shine and touchable texture of these hairstyles held their own with the parade of designers gowns.
These bright lips gave the red carpet a run for its money. Brits Helen Mirren and Michelle Dockery used the bold pop of color to play off their netrual-toned gowns, while Elizabeth Moss picked a shade that matched her Michael Kors number perfectly.
Here's proof that you don't have to wait until spring to play up the pink. Lupita Nyong'o bravely paired her pink lip with bright blue eyeshadow, Sarah Paulson with a simple swipe of liner on the upper lid, while Kerry Washington matched her lipstick to her sparkly Prada crop top.
Time to ditch your hair brush. The prettiest updos that came down the red carpet proved that fingers may be one of the best styling tools we have. Sandra Bullock, Malin Akerman and Jennifer Garner all looked effortless with stray pieces and messy volume that looked equal parts ethereal and chic.
