Oscar hair: How will the leading ladies wear their locks?

Naomi Watts

Naomi is a great example of this season’s buttery blonde — her one process color totally screams 2013! She will look spectacular in a bright red or shimmery golden dress, and a loose, wavy chignon. Her blonde is golden and sunny and she will keep her look classic and simple to make her both memorable and stylish.

Amanda Seyfried

This Les Mis star will shine, even without a personal nomination. She's this year's perfect "ombre" girl. She really got it right, as her golden blonde starts deeper at the crown and gradually gets more platinum toward the tips. Amanda will look spectacular with her hair deeply parted, and some wide Veronica Lake-ish sort of waves stacked off to one side. Sexy, but sophisticated.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway is rockin' the short do in style. While the majority of the actresses are going long, Anne has chosen that classic, shagged pixie in a rich chocolate brown. I would throw in a few caramel brown pieces to give her hair a bit more texture, but nonetheless, she will be a showstopper. I predict a strapless fitted gown, in black or emerald green to accentuate her flawless skin, and some soft finger waves in the hair, a la pinup girl.

Jennifer Garner

This year's awards are all about her husband, but Jennifer won't let him down on his big night. Her brunette locks will be Oscar worthy with warm chestnut and honey face-framing highlights.

I think Jennifer should wear her hair down with sexy, light waves that complement her without making an overly bold statement. Smoky natural makeup with chunky earrings. Hot, with a twist of class.

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain has the chance to SHINE as our brightest coppery redhead this year. While she's gone soft and simple for the past awards, I think the Academy is where she's going to "bring it."

I would add in a few deeper vibrant red and strawberry pieces to make her hair color pop. I see her in a flowy nude gown with her hair whisked off to one side by a sparkly hair clip.

Adele

Adele holds a style all her own, and I'm sure she's claiming a golden statue for her performance in Skyfall. I love this reddish hue SO much more than her previous blonde. The golden bits help to break up her thick mane of hair, giving it some texture and contrast. I see Adele with a Brigitte Bardot updo and a heavily brocaded crimson dress. Think British royalty meets French sex kitten.
