Glamour in Black & White


One of the freshest looks for this spring is the pairing of black and white, and there’s no better way to do that than by pairing the classic white button-up with a sexy pair of black shorts. Celebs like Alexa Chung, The City’s Olivia Palmero, Gwyneth Paltrow and British model Daisy Lowe have all been seen rocking this trend on the red carpet .

Palmero wore this trend in a bold and sexy way, with sequined shorts, sky-high black studded heels and a sleek, pulled back hair style. Olivia fashioned the perfect New York look by wearing the style in a sleek and chic way, with just enough glam to make the look turn heads.  Palmero accompanied the look with a large and classicly cut handbag to complete the sophistication of her style.

Palrow’s approach to this style was a more laid-back, California type of sex appeal. The star wore her top loosely unbuttoned, wore her hair down, and accompanied the style with a long silver charm necklace, which all gave the traditionally conservative color combination a more bohemian vibe. Paltrow then dialed up the sex appeal by wearing black pumps and holding a hot silver clutch.

Lowe wore this style in a way all her own by pairing the look with unique everyday pieces. Instead of wearing the color combo conservatively, Lowe paired standout accessories with the style to make her own version of the fashion. Lowe paired the shorts with black tights and mid-calf black lace-up boots for a more alternative version of the style. Lowe also wore a brown belt with a bold buck that stood-out against the rest of her outfit.

10 Hottest Celebrity Hairstyles


While everyone else seems more concerned with what their favorite celebs are wearing this summer, I’m a lot more interested in how they’re wearing their hair! I’ve been searching for a new hairstyle and who better to help me choose than my own best beauty buddies, my favorite actresses and other celebrities! They have teams of pros dedicated to making them look polished, sexy, and gorgeous, so why not borrow a few ideas from them? If you’re in the market for a new ‘do, keep reading! Here are the 10 hottest celebrity hairstyles, and which of our favorite celebs rock them out!

1. Pixie cut

 

Celebrities who rock this hair style: Emma Watson, Michelle Williams
It’s official: with hot celebs like Emma Watson and Michelle Williams rocking this hot celebrity hairstyle, this summer is the Season of the Pixie Cut. It’s short and simple, and incredibly cute. Anyone can wear it, and it’s super-easy to care for and style. I speak from experience, since I had a pixie cut this spring. One note of caution, though: super-short haircuts like Emma Watson’s pixie cut MUST be styled every morning — the bed-head is extreme!

2. Stacked Bob


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Victoria Beckham, Selena Gomez
Before I had my pixie cut this spring, I wore a stacked bob, and it’s so chic! I stole my stacked bob from one of my favorite celebrities, Victoria Beckham, and again, almost any one of us mere mortals can rock the look, too! Be careful about the stylist you choose to do the cut: be sure he or she can do a good precision cut, or it will look choppy and cheap. But when it’s done right, wow, this hairstyle is hot!

3. Messy Curls


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Mary Kate Olsen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift
Another of my favorite looks this summer is the beach-ready look of wind-blown messy curls. It seems like all of my favorite actresses and songstresses are rocking this hot celebrity hairstyle, from Taylor Swift for Sarah Jessica Parker. It’s easy to do. Just add a little mousse to damp hair, and after air-drying, curl a few chunks around the “halo” of your hair with a big curling iron, or even a small flat-iron. Spritz with hair-spray, scrunch with your fingers, and you’re rocking this hottest of the hot celebrity hairstyles, too! Try a cute headband or feather-encrusted clip for extra gorgeous-ness, too!

4.  Loose Braid


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Nicole Richie, Leona Lewis
I’ve always loved the look of a messy braid, and this summer, it seems like all of my favorite celebs have been wearing them. I especially love the herringbone braid! They take practice, but they’re so pretty! I’m wondering if they’ll show up, in a less casual format, on any red carpets soon?

5. Long Layers


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson
Long layers are flattering to almost any face-shape, and they’re so feminine and pretty! Just look at Miss Jessica and Miss Miley — they always look so pretty with their long layers! The longer layers also make it possible to do the messy curls and even the loose braid, so it’s like getting three of the hottest celebrity hairstyles in one!

6. Funky Color


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Rihanna, Pink
The catwalk is full of summer bright dresses, from coral to turquoise, so why not add a little pop of color to your summer tresses, too? Temporary dyes in a rainbow of colors are available in most salons and even drugstores, and we can look to our favorite punk-sass celebs for a hint on where and how to apply. And for another fun layer of funky color, try Featherlocks, too!

7. Fringe 


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Jennifer Aniston, Katie Holmes
I loved Jennifer Aniston in her role as a “Horrible Boss,” and aside from her wicked sense of humor, she had the cutest fringe! When have blunt bangs ever looked better? Whether they’re brushing your eyebrows or are cut further up on your forehead, whether they’re wispy or blunt, bangs are another of the hottest celebrity hairstyles you can try!


8. Top Knot


Celebrities who rock this hair style:
The cover of Vogue this month features three gorgeous blonde models, all sporting tight top-knots, and this hot celebrity style is popping up in so many other places, too! I’ve seen J Lo sporting it, and it looks like fun! It’s easy, too: just pull wet hair into a tight bun, gloss over your hair with a light pomade to make sure there are no pesky fly-aways, and you’re ready for a day at the beach or date night!

9. Sleek & Straight


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, J Lo
If your hair is straight, and doesn’t like to hold a curl, why fight it? Rock the sleek and straight look, like Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, or Miss J Lo (again!). The key, of course, is deep conditioning and a damn fine flat-iron.


10. Short & Sassy


Celebrities who rock this hair style: Vanessa Hudgens, Rihanna
Two words: faux hawk. While I’m not bold enough to rock one, this hot celebrity hairstyle is so much fun! And there are lots of other short and sassy haircuts I love, including the modified super-short shag Vanessa Hudgens debuted last week. Again, while short hair is fun, and easy to care for, beware the bed-head!
With so many of the hottest celebrities rocking the hottest celebrity hairstyles, the best part is, you’ll never have to choose just one! Rock the pixie cut with a fun color, and occasionally rock it as a faux hawk. Or do the long layers, worn straight and sleek, or with messy curls — so much versatility, so much fun!

Celebrity Fresh Fierce Style



One of the hottest spring looks is dashes of bold color, added into your wardrobe for a fresh and fierce style. One way to do this is with a daring orange blazer. Add the piece to other interesting colors or your most basic pieces. Celebs like Rachel Bilson, Camilla Belle, and The City’s Olivia Polmero and Whitney Port have all been spotted wearing the trend.

Bilson wore this look with a classic tan dress, which gives a laid-back yet chic style. With tan boot style open toed sandals and a quilted black bag, Bilson has a fierce style that is perfect for doing lunch with a friend or a night on the town. Pairing the fashion with the classic pair of black wayfarers.

Palmero also chose to pair an orange coat with more classic pieces. To accompany her orange trench style coat, Olivia wore a brown top with plaid pants rolled into a chic cuff. The starlet accessorized with a brown snakeskin clutch and a gold cuff. On top of these basic tones, Palmero also wore daring yellow heels, another one of the spring’s biggest styles.

Celebs like Camilla Belle and Whitney Port have also been pairing the style with equally bold dresses and other pieces. Belle wore the piece with a silky purple top and green high wasted pants. She also wore sexy green shoes and a stand-out gold belt for a sexy and sophisticated style.

Port wore the style with bold pieces, wearing a multi-colored sweater dress. With tights and brown boots, Port wore the style in a way that’s a perfect everyday look.

For your own version of this look, try this blazer by Brionior this one by Giorgio Armani.  Or, for a way to incorporate this color into your everyday style, look at this TIBI trench style coat.
