Celebrity Hair Inspiration for Spring 2015

Spring is in full swing and summer is just around the corner. We are turning to celebrities for the scoop on this season's hottest hair trends with an emphasis on styles that are fun, care-free and easy to manage. Last summer, we highlighted the long bob, and are happy to report that it's still trending this season. Celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Lucy Hale and Emma Roberts are all successfully rocking this look. We especially love how they tuck one side behind the ear, which adds a little edge and  shows off their statement earrings.

Taylor Swift was recently spotted at the iHeartRadio Music Awards with a change to her long bob: thick, choppy bangs with lots of volume. Her awards for the night included Artist of the Year and Song of the Year with "Shake it Off" among others. Taylor's music and looks are adored by fans and this night was proof that she still has it.

We haven't forgotten about the long-haired beauties! For long hair, it's all about long layers and subtle ombre (aka, 'sombre'), illustrated perfectly by Minka Kelly (above). 'Sombre' is taking the trendy ombre hair color and making it more subtle and blended by adding layers to frame the face and brightening the ends with a natural color.

Kenza Zouiten is a great example of how long layers combined with subtle ombre can create a care-free, beautiful style for long hair. Bangs blow-dried away from the face matched with a deep side part can help achieve this look.

2015 Oscars Celebs Rock the Red Carpet and Instagram

The night of the 2015 Oscars once again guaranteed that celebrities walking the red carpet at the Dolby Theater would be dressed top-notch. Actresses sported dresses by the best of the best designers. This past Sunday night left viewers 'oohing' and 'ahhing' while perhaps some young ladies also gathered inspiration for their 2015 prom dresses. We loved this years' dresses for their timeless elegance and our best picks are just that– classy and stunningly beautiful.

Gweneth Paltrow, who was a presenter for the night, was captivating in a feminine pink Ralph and Russo gown. She stuck with a more classic-shaped dress and we absolutely love how she chose to show off the elegant neckline and bold flower by sleeking her hair back and accessorizing with blingy, bold earrings. The look was one of the more polished of the night.

We were swooning over 18-year-old actress Chloe Moretz's Old Hollywood glamour look for a few reasons.  First of all, she rocked ear cuffs which are a HUGE trend that we love. Her hair style choice and makeup showed off her natural beauty, and how fun are the pockets on her beautiful floral-print gown by Miu Miu? The subtle pattern and champagne color mixed perfectly, proving that floral patterns are still hot.

Reese Witherspoon is an actress who is well-known for dressing with class and top-notch style and this year she was stunning yet again on the red carpet. Notably, her and Chloe both decided to wear their blonde locks down with a center part. While a center part is not for everyone, we love how it tones down the formality of the extravagant dresses and makes the look seem do-able for a viewer wishing to draw inspiration for prom. Also, while Witherspoon may not have received an award that night, she rocked the Instagram game that day, documenting her entire day of Oscars-prep and giving shout-outs to Tom Ford for her amazingly flattering black and white gown and Tiffany and Co for her dazzling jewels.

49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards

This past Sunday, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton hit the stage hosting the 2014 ACM Awards where countless country musicians were recognized and presented awards in front of many other talented musicians. The night was filled with incredible performances by numerous artists such as Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, and Rascal Flatts.

Carrie Underwood, being one of the presenters at the awards show looked absolutely stunning. Wearing an Oscar de la Renta beaded fringe gown surpassed our expectations on the red carpet. This dress is unlike any other in the way it covers, sways, and fits Carrie beautifully. This is definitely not the first time we have caught Carrie looking amazing on the red carpet.

Kimberly Perry, lead singer of The Band Perry wore a slimming black Georges Hobeika dress where she was able to accept an award for 'Vocal Group of the Year' at the event. Kimberly and her two brother's Neil and Reid make up The Band Perry where they were also able to perform their single 'Chainsaw' after accepting their award.

Sheryl Crow arrived at the event wearing a black geometric Christian Siriano dress, where later she performed the song 'I Hold On' with country singer Dierks Bentley. Their performance ended with a standing ovation from the crowd alongside a standing ovation from us when it comes to her style!

The 2014 Oscars Best Dressed

The night of the 2014 Oscars this past Sunday night had celebrities walking down the red carpet in style as paparazzi took thousands of photos. With a rainy start to the eventing, celebrities arrived with umbrellas before walking the red carpet. The 86th Annual Awards ceremony was viewed by millions and we were anxious to see what the celebrities chose to wear for this important event. Celebrities dressed in top notch attire to potentially receive an award. We picked out gorgeous dresses we thought stood out at the awards ceremony. Cate Blanchett won the Best Actress Award with her role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine while wearing an elaborate Armani Prive gown. The dress was worn perfectly by Cate with her luminous skin tone and the light gold color of the dress.

Jennifer Lawrence defines best-dressed at the awards in this beautifully fitting strapless red dress made by Dior Haute Couture. After tripping just moments after exiting her limo, she quickly gets back on her feet looking adorable as usual. She exudes confidence and beauty in her choice of the floor length gown even after falling on the ground.

Another dress that we could not help but love was worn by Penelope Cruz. This faint pink Giambattista Valli gown flowed with her as she walked the red carpet with a beautiful choice of diamond accessories. We can safely say that these ladies looked amazing for this event.

NAACP Nominee Tamera Mowry-Housley's Style

Just recently the NAACP nominees were announced and will be awarding those with outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts. This February, the 45th annual awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles including nominees such as Nick Cannon, Kerry Washington and many more. In past years, out of all of the celebrities nominated for the event, Tamera Mowry-Hously stood out to us.

In the 43rd NAACP Awards ceremony, Tamera and her bubbly personality loved by so many, walked down the red carpet in a sleeveless silver gown made by Nicole Miller. Tamera's husband, Adam Housley escorted her down the red carpet in style. We are excited to see what she will wear this year at the awards ceremony. Becoming a new mother, her style is young, vibrant and energetic whether she is at home or walking down the red carpet.

Tamera also made a more casual appearance at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation wearing a striped maxi dress looking confident event after people disagreed with her interracial marriage with Adam Housley. She is all smiles at the event displaying confidence and strength after the controversy. We love the added blazer to add a touch of gray to cover her shoulders. She knows how to mix and match to make her outfit come together perfectly. Overall, we think they look absolutely great together and we are excited to see what is to come as they begin their beautiful family.

Our Best Picks from the Golden Globes

This year's 71st Annual Golden Globes Awards was a night to remember when it came to select celebrities dresses. Top Buttons was very excited to see what these stars were going to wear down the red carpet this time. Our team selected three of the most beautiful dresses that were worn at the event.

Our top favorite was a shimmering ombre Gucci dress worn by actress Mila Kunis. We can tell that she knows how to dress to impress at an event as important as this. This floor length dress attracted all eyes to Mila as she arrived at the awards.

Another one of our favorite dresses by designer Christian Dior was worn by well-known actress Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence was presented a Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actress in the famous motion picture "American Hustle". We loved how she graced the stage in her white gown looking flawless as she accepted her award.

Last but not least, Taissa Farmiga made her red carpet appearance in a knee length, lace Elie Saab dress. She accompanied her dress with Stuart Weitzman sandals giving it a more casual yet classy look for the awards. She was one of very few who decided to be different by wearing a short dress for the event.
