Screen Actors Guild Awards 2014: Close-cropped locks

Besides the easy waves and sleek ponytails, short hair ruled on the SAG awards red carpet.

Perhaps the most striking hairstyles were the pixie cuts, a la Jennifer Lawrence, who seems to have started a trend leading women to take the chop challenge. And a chic, angular bob, as seen on Jane Krakowski, proved to be a modern approach to red carpet hair without any trace of a curling iron or backcombing.

Emma Thompson’s blond crop was also very cool. She clearly goes for effortless. Just check out her flat, gold Christian Louboutin sandals worn with a black, floor-length gown. And Helen Mirren’s sleek pushed-back style took nothing away from her dramatic gown.
