One of the things that makes me rethink growing my locks long is a Hollywood celebrity pulling off a fab short haircut. I almost got distracted and wanted to call my hairstylist to book an appointment when I saw Scarlett Johansson’s summer bob in its shorter crop version. At the Mango Fashion Awards in Barcelona last week, ScarJo sported an even choppier version of the original cut, which now grazes the nape of her neck with thinned out, longer wisps in front. I am so tempted right now.

How young is too young to attend Milan fashion shows? Apparently, there's no age restriction as Willow Smith—daughter of Will and Jada—turned up at a few of the bigger Milan shows with her perfectly toned mom. I was intrigued and yes, even impressed by her front-row beauty and fashion choices. The nine-year-old’s most outlandish sartorial decision perhaps came  in the form of a bold-shouldered snow leopard jacket that she wore to Ferregamo's show. But even that piece of exceptional oute...

Freida Pinto brought glamour to a whole new level with these glossy curls at the premiere of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger at the Toronto Film Festival. I'm coveting her look, created by stylist Jonathan Hanousek, and now he's sharing his step-by-step instructions for how we can re-create the style on our own.

• • Begin by wrapping thin sections of hair (about one and a half inches wide) around a curling iron with a one inch barrel.
  • Before curling, spray each section with a firm hold hairspray...

This weekend in the Hamptons, Ashley Greene showed up at a benefit for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund with a shorter, just-past-the-collarbone haircut. Although most are suckers for long, flowing hair, I'm sure every woman adores the bounce and effortlessness of Greene's new length. So how do you know when you need a real haircut? Hairstylist Oscar Blandi explains the signs:

—"Your hairstylist cut layers the last time you got your hair cut, and now your hair is nearing one length."

—"You'...

As Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf, Leighton Meester is a bad-girl brunette. But as international ambassador for Herbal Essences, the actress/singer is playing a new role: dirty blonde. Meester, whose hair is naturally flaxen, dyes it for the hit CW series, but at a photo call to fête her new spokesperson deal in Madrid, she was looking decidedly less devious sporting a honey-colored side part and loose waves. What say you: better off dark and brooding, or is blonder the better course? Persona...

It was the near-official style of spring, and given the way the side braid keeps showing up at events, I'm going to bet that it keeps on keepin’ on for summer, too. The latest spokesperson to rep the slung-over-the-shoulder plait is one Sessilee Lopez, who took a low-lying version of the look for a spin at the 2010 Operation Smile Annual Gala last week in New York. I'm still not sure how we feel about the casual coif turning into acceptable cocktail-hour fare, thanks to Spring runway shows ...

Since parting ways with her caramel highlights and chin-length bob last year, Halle Berry has been successfully working a short crop with a little added length on top. Recently, we’ve noticed that she’s taken that extra step in the styling department, using a wax to sculpt said length into spikes, instead of treating it to a softer tousle. What do you think of the style: too much “edge" that only a model like Agyness Deyn can pull off, or can you never really have enough—especially if...

With fashion week in full swing, it’s easy to forget that there are pictures being taken outside of New York City right now. But Drew Barrymore snapped us to attention with a new hairstyle last night at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Whip It. Perhaps taking cues from Daphne Guinness’ popular skunk stripe, Barrymore decided to play with black and white, blunt-cutting her medium-length blond locks and dip-dying the ends in dark pigment. It’s interesting, to say the le...

I'm not exactly sure where to begin here—with Rihanna’s adorable, front-tie headscarf or her super sick zebra-print nails (are they Minx? Hand designs? Airbrush? So many questions!). Suffice it to say, she heeded Six Flags’ “It’s Playtime” motto on a visit to the Valencia, California, park yesterday. Personally, I'm not amused with her latest beauty roller-coaster ride.

As most New Yorkers (and diehard Sex and the City fans) know, the fearsome foursome have begun shooting the sequel to the acclaimed HBO series’ first film. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted on set yesterday in Manhattan sporting two different hairstyles—tight corkscrews and a looser version with cascading waves—which got us to thinking about some of her best tresses from the show’s almost six-year run. And so, we thought we’d conjure a meeting of the minds and give you access to the ...
