See the best celebrity hair colour changes up close »

We’re smack in the middle of the lazy, hazy days of summer and, if you’re anything like us, heat and humidity equal doing as little as possible when it comes to hair and makeup. Which makes it the perfect time to mix things up with a new hair colour—aside from an afternoon spent at the salon (or at the hands of a trusted friend) a new shade is the easiest way to refresh your otherwise low-maintenance look.

In order to inspire a change, we’re taking a look back at some of the best celebrity dye jobs from the past few months. While a number of these looks were all part of the day’s work—like Jennifer Lawrence ditching her Katniss hair colour for honey blonde or Emma Stone returning to her (faux) red roots—other dye jobs seemed to signal a change in personality. There is no doubt, after all, that a new hair colour can make you feel like a new person. (At least, that’s what Miley Cyrus keeps telling us!)

Curly and wavy hairstyles are, without a doubt, one of our favourite red carpet looks. From perfectly coiffed Old Hollywood ringlets to messy beach waves, there are endless ways to wear your hair down—while still giving it some style. Curly hair is easier to master than an updo, looks much more dramatic than a ponytail and definitely has an appeal that straight hair just can’t match. Need further proof? We’ve gathered some of the best curly hair and wavy hair looks from recent red carpets all in one place. (If you haven’t already logged into your Pinterest account, now’s the time!)

We’ve got a brand spankin’ new cover girl today, and it’s none other than hit pop artist Demi Lovato. To celebrate her covering our latest issue, we present this insider’s look at what the award winning artist carries with her from day to day. Photographed while on the set of our cover shoot, these snaps reveal Lovato’s biggest makeup obsession: “I carry a lot of concealers [and] powders because I love to have clean glowing skin, but the secret is to make sure you wash it off every night to keep your skin clear!” she said.

See the best celebrity short hairstyles for summer »

As many Hollywood A-listers have proven, right now short hair is having a major moment. From Jennifer Lawrence’s recent lob to the staying power of Michelle Williams’ pixie cut, long hair is being phased out of the red carpet spotlight. And now that summer is officially here, there’s no better time to embrace short hair. After all, there’s nothing quite like a good hairstyle makeover to really get us in the mood for our favourite season.

If you haven’t yet cut off a couple of inches, consider that anything above shoulder length is the best way to keep cool when things turn sweaty and humid. And lest you think that a short cut means you’ll no longer have the versatility to change up your style, this slideshow of the best short celebrity hairstyles proves otherwise. From the super short—like Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron—to Karlie Kloss’s infamous cropped bob and Miley Cyrus’s constantly changing shaved style, we’ve rounded up 10 celebs who not only make short hair look really, really good—they know how to style it for red carpet-worthy events. Click through and don’t blame us if you’re booking a hair cut before you get to the end.

At last night’s MuchMusic Video Awards both Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato went thigh high.

Often seen in elegant gowns on the red carpet, Taylor Swift blew us away in last night’s decidedly sexy ensemble. Showing off her body (and her legs!), T-Swift wore a Herve Leger white mini bandage dress with black piping details. The songstress accessorized her ensemble with minimal amount of jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira, as well as a pair of black gladiator sandals by Christian Louboutin. To complete her sultry look, this MMVA winner kept her hair down in natural beach waves with smoky eyes and statement red lips.

Toronto’s ultimate summer music party took place last night outside the streets of MuchMusic’s Queen Street headquarters. As the A-listers made their way down the red carpet, hundreds of fans greeted and snapped pictures of their favourite actors, artists and South Korean sensation Psy, who made his first Canadian appearance as MMVA co-host.

In her first MMVA appearance, Taylor Swift played the bombshell in a form fitting white mini-dress with black striped details by Herve Leger and Christian Louboutin black gladiator sandals as she picked up the award for favourite international artist. T-Swift accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira jewellery as well as her signature red pout, smoky eyes and effortlessly tousled beach waves.

Also sporting smoky eyes was MMVA co-host, Demi Lovato, who took home international video of the year for “Heart Attack.” Trying out an uncharacteristically edgy look (and quite well, we might add!), the singer wore a little black dress with zipper detail and black pumps both by Saint Laurent.

Who doesn’t love a good change? Two of the music industry’s top talents, Demi Lovato and Carly Rae Jepsen, certainly enjoy switching things up—both popstars debuted radically new hair colours last night and we absolutely love the results.

First up: Demi Lovato. She’s ditched her raven locks for a delightful shade of honey-blonde. (Lovato showed off her new hair colour yesterday evening, when she was honoured for her charitable work at the National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day.) Although we’ve seen her go blonde before, this time around the the X Factor judge paired the colour change with a shorter cut. Together, the new colour and cut has a very sophisticated look and it paired beautifully with her all-white ensemble at the ceremony.

Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards was certainly full of news, from Beyoncé’s big baby reveal to Katy Perry’s four outfit changes to Lady Gaga’s first public appearance as her drag alter ego Joe Calderone, who had previously only been seen on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan last September. Who though, tops the list as the best dressed?
