From Our Archives: The Beautiful Bangs Of Rooney Mara

BRUNETTE, CELEBRITY, SEXY, SHORT, TRENDING

We can’t stress enough the value of brilliant and stylish bangs. Have them cut wrong and the eyes can look closer together, or they can weigh you down into a dated look. Get them cut right and bangs will lift you up, frame the wonderful features of your face, and bring more attention to your eyes. Be brave and try different ways of wearing them.

For inspiration, use these images of edgy film star, Rooney Mara. While keeping the raven color and the pixie look, she has creatively changed up her style by reshaping the front. A comb, a blowdryer and a lightweight styling product is all you need to try a variety of fashionable fringes. Go for it!

Olga Kurylenko Shows a Sleek & Polished Pony

BRUNETTE, CELEBRITY, LONG, SLEEK

Olga+Kurylenko+Long+Hairstyles+Long+Straight+4OzMFE3i3SPl

A little bit Russian, a little bit French, the all gorgeous Olga Kurylenko turned out for the Tokyo premiere of Oblivion wearing a sophisticated ponytail. By pulling hair up and away from the face, ponytails help to lift and elongate features like cheekbones and chin, which is why they’re such a popular nighttime style. Olga’s trim and elegant version is artfully lacquered to hug her feminine head shape, while the pony, placed just below the occipital bone, is all about timeless elegance, beauty and grace.

Scary Movie 5 may be giving people the creeps, but Ashley Tisdale’s classic long, side-parted layer cut has the scintillating color that inspirits the heart. A mocha to dirty blonde ombre, combined with sultry dark eyes and tan complexion, it gives Ashley an Amazonian quality –– strong and sexy and powerful. Modern highlighting patterns and freehand hair painting can both achieve this look; the most important thing is to get tones that suit you. For professional tips, click style notes.

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.

BLOGGER, BRUNETTE, COLOR, CUT, EVERYDAY, MEDIUM, NOTED, SEXY, STYLE

Even for Olivia, this is a stand-out style. A vintage, fashionable look, it follows the seventies-inspired trend for the drop down wave –– a wave that goes from straight at the crown to tousled down below –– but features a lustrous, modern take. The shiny chestnut brown and the bountiful shape of the tumbling waves combine to create a sultry and seductive, yet elegant and beautiful aesthetic. Wear this style on a romantic date night!
