The Awards season gave plenty of inspiration, but the Oscars 2016's red carpet saw a variety of hair and makeup that would inspire many looks this years, at events, weddings and any given black tie evening.
From amazing updos and waves, to accessories and messy styles. These are our picks:

Huns and accessories
Hun stands for the half-up, half-down hair. Brie Larson wore hers with a vintage cintage-looking hair-piece, while Alicia Vikander wore it as a bun (making it look effortless, when it probably had more work into it than you think).
