Hollywood's Sleek Hair Era: Awards Season Style
26 Feb
Summary
- Sleek buns and chignons are predicted for awards season.
- The Actor Awards are March 1, Oscars are March 15.
- Ballet-core looks will highlight necklines and earrings.
Awards season is entering a sophisticated phase, with the 2026 Actor Awards and the 98th Academy Awards poised to feature Hollywood's elite showcasing elegant hairstyles. Trends point towards sleek buns, sculpted chignons, and perfectly neat twists, often incorporating ballet-core elements to enhance necklines and pair with dazzling earrings and off-the-shoulder gowns.
The Actor Awards, presented by SAG-AFTRA, are slated for March 1 at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Two weeks later, on March 15, the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood will host the Academy Awards, celebrating cinematic achievements.
Unlike the more relaxed styles sometimes seen at the Grammy Awards or Golden Globes, these upcoming ceremonies encourage shiny, smooth updos. Experts anticipate a return of brushed-back styles, sleek braids, and sculpted updos that offer an elegant yet edgy appeal, seen recently on stars like Amanda Seyfried and Kate Hudson.
