Many celebrities chose to not play it safe at last night’s 87th Academy Awards with the red carpet brimming with voluminous gowns and undercut do’s.
Contributing to the bold looks of the Oscar-goers was Tracey Cunningham, Redken Celebrity Colorist, who helped Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, and Dakota Johnson, among others, prepare for the awards.
