Flipping through pro head-to-toe images of Oscar gowns the next morning is fun and all, but nothing beats seeing your favourite leading lady in curlers before hitting the red carpet. That’s why we’re relying on Instagram for real-time, behind-the-scenes access. Add some of these snap happy celebrities, makeup artists, and stylists to your feed before Sunday night…
The Host: Neil Patrick Harris
After Ellen DeGeneres’ social-media savvy stint as last year’s host (we all remember the ULTIMATE celeb selfie, right?), we’re guessing NPH will probably have his phone handy throughout the night.
The Red Carpet King: Ryan Seacrest
It’s hard to beat Seacrest’s view from the red carpet, especially when every celebrity has to stop by and say hi. If you’re looking for a candid close-up, he’s your man.
The Nominee: Reese Witherspoon
Red carpet veteran and candidate for Best Actress, Witherspoon is poised to bring those “getting ready” selfies we all want to see before the picture-perfect telecast begins.
The Presenter: Lupita Nyong’o
Last year’s Oscar darling is a pro at snagging A-list selfies, including snaps with Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt. We suspect she’ll be just as on point for 2015.
The Performers: Anna Kendrick and Adam Levine
If you’re looking to add a little wit to your feed, then these two (set to take the stage on Sunday) are a good place to start. Levine has already posted a very important outfit question regarding the big night.
The Plus One: Chrissy Teigen
In addition to posting cute couple pics with her nominated husband John Legend, the endearing model also sprinkles in silly shots that remind us to not take awards shows too seriously.
The Stylists: Karla Welch, Leith Clark, and Leslie Fremar
If you want to be the first to find out what (and who) the nominated actresses will be wearing, virtually stalk their stylists. Keep an eye on Welch, who styles Felicity Jones, Clark, who dresses Keira Knightley, and Fremar, who works with both Witherspoon and Julianne Moore.
The Make-Up Artists: Melanie Inglessis, Rachel Goodwin, and Kate Lee
For a peek at how some of your favorite makeup looks came together, add these celeb pros to your feed. Inglessis is the woman behind behind Rosamund Pike’s fresh-faced red carpet looks, Lee is part of Keira Knightley’s glam squad, and Goodwin is Emma Stone’s go-to.
THE Hair Stylists: Mara Roszak and Robert Vetica
To see those glam waves and impressive updos in the making, follow Roszak — the woman responsible for creating cool-girl hair for Kate Mara, Zoe Saldana, and Lily Collins — and Vetica, who works with beauties like ScarJo, Cate Blanchett (both presenters), and Best Actress nominee Marion Cotillard.
Don’t forget to check back on Monday when we’ll be recapping our favourite pre-ceremony celeb highlights from the 2015 Oscars!
