Last night at the Deadfall premiere in Hollywood, the lovely actress proved just how powerful (and gorgeous!) a classic ponytail can look when styled right. To give the ultra-sleek, sport-chic style a ladylike twist, Mara wore a bright chartreuse lace-embellished Jason Wu dress with T-strap peep-toe Brian Atwood sandals, and a luxe Mulberry bracelet.(Photos by Getty)Love...Read Full Story

(Photo by Lizzy Sullivan) My reaction to my new red hair. Delighted, clearly!In the past week alone, I've had multiple strangers (New York strangers, mind you) stop me on the street and ask, "Are you a natural redhead?" My response? An enthusiastic "Nope!" and a referral to the magician, er, colorist, responsible for my mane — Rick Wellman, co-owner of Patrick Melville Salon, who's also worked his rockstar magic on the likes of Nicole Richie and Catherine Zeta-Jones.But before last week, my...Read Full Story

"The higher the hair, the closer to heaven." Isn't that how the age-old Southern belle adage goes? Well, despite her goddess-worthy gown, glowy complexion, and a stare that could kill, country music sweetheart Lauren Alaina looked decidedly down-to-earth at the 46th Annual CMA Awards. Thanks mostly in part to her gorgeous girl-next-door 'do. The singer wore her bleached locks teased to perfection and pulled...Read Full Story

From the singer's electric-pink highlights to the off-beat placement of her braided bun, this plait is certainly much more punk than princess. The Voice judge wore this vibrant style—along with a pair of patriotic star-spangled jeans—to dinner in LA on Monday with BF Matthew Rutler and...Read Full Story
