She may be never, ever getting back together with Conor Kennedy, but Taylor Swift still has the best bangs on the block. Deep-set and full, her fringe grazes her brows beautifully, bringing focus down to her alluring baby blues. This recent shot is from the European MTV VMA’s, where she debuted a new dirty blonde color tone. Luxurious and shiny, this duskier hue also creates a contrast that helps her peepers pierce. For those at home, a bang cut is a great way to make your eyes your focal point, and change up your look –– without losing length. Click style notes for expert tips on styling bangs.

Modern Day Grace Kelly: A New Version of Effortless Glamour

Effortless, classic beauty was the signature look of actress Grace Kelly. Famous for her roles in films like Dial M For Murder and Mogambo, Kelly also became a literal princess when she married the prince of Monaco in 1956. She was famously photographed without makeup for the cover of Collier’s, breaking away from the evening gowns and flawless facade that were typical for film stars of that time. What is most inspiring about Grace was her ability to look at home in both casual and formal ensembles, and the ease with which she transitioned from glamorous starlet to prim and proper monarch. Although she wore her hair in different styles a few things never changed. Her dark  blonde color, deep side part, and collar dusting length were hallmarks of her signature look. Her elegance and confidence ensured a lasting legacy. Give her signature style a modern twist with these simple steps. –– Laura Martin

From Our Archives: Cameron Diaz & The Luscious Sideswept Bangs

BLONDE, CELEBRITY, COLOR, CUT, EVERYDAY, MEDIUM, NOTED, SLEEK, STYLE

This color and cut and style is incredibly beautifying. Multiple face-framing layers are a great way to add definition to the bone structure, while the shiny sideswept bangs make it impossible not to look into those alluring clear blue eyes. Overall it is a clever choice because Cameron’s hair is relatively fine, and comes with a soft natural wave. This organic movement plays into the cascading shape of the cut; meanwhile, the loose, free-flowing design also means that she doesn’t have to worry about her style holding its structure, which can be a problem for finer hair types who go for overly structured styles. Multi-dimensional golden blonde highlighting adds final touches of glister, shimmer, and shine.
