See the best celebrity ombre hair »

For as long as we can remember (and by that we mean since approximately 2010), the ombre has been hot. Ascending the ranks of typical two-year hair trend cycles, the ombre has proved perennial: it just keeps coming back. And although we can’t exactly pinpoint when and how the trend came to be (one too many missed trips to the hair salon could be a possibility), there is no doubt that many celebs have caught the ombre bug, including two of its earliest adopters, Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie. 

The classic ombre (think Sarah Jessica Parker) shows no signs of departing, but an edgy dark versus light a la Demi Lovato has become more and more popular in recent years. If standing out from the pack is your thing, Brit It girl, Poppy Delevingne works a reverse take on it that may be one of the best celebrity ombre hair looks we’ve seen. And then there is Kylie Jenner whose hairstyles may not be considered ombre per se, but the dip dye-like effect is definitely one chic version we know many fans will follow suit this season. Still think ombre hair is so last year? From Olivia Wilde to Jared Leto, we track down 15 of the best celebrity ombre hair looks that prove the gradient is so not over.

See the Miu Miu Fall 2014 front row »

As Paris Fashion Week wraps up today, the international fashion circuit comes to a close. But as with all good things, the arguably best shows were saved for last. Or rather the most star studded front rows. At this morning’s Miu Miu Fall 2014 show, every pretty young thing turned up to watch the runway; even Jared Leto and his perfectly coiffed hair made an appearance!

Prada/Miu Miu It girl and newly minted Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o was wore a Spring 2014 ruched pink skirt and cropped jacket with an embellished collar in a deep raspberry shade that complemented her skin tone flawlessly. After reportedly introducing herself to all of her fellow front row-ers (so darn polite!), she pulled out some thick framed tortoise shell glasses to enjoy the show. Bad eyesight be damned. Fellow Miu Miu frontwoman Elle Fanning kept things prim and proper, removing her light blue Miu Miu jacket to reveal a yellow houndstooth sleeveless top and matching blue pleated skirt as she sat for the show.

If you’re looking for volume or planning on styling an updo, chances are you know that second-day hair is the way to go. Freshly washed hair can look too squeaky-clean and doesn’t hold its shape as well, plus there’s also a gritty, cool-girl factor that only second-day hair can provide. However, should you think this is a hair secret only used by women, think again. According to Vidal Sassoon hairstylist Chase Kusero, Jared Leto’s winning hair at the 2014 Oscars was all about the second-day style.

Should you want to copy the look (hey, those beachy waves would look just as good on a lady as they do on Leto) or get your guy on the edgy, long hair train, here’s how it was done. The night before the Academy Awards, Chase prepped Leto’s wet hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Waves Primer Spray and Pro Series Waves Pomade.

Just when we thought the weather couldn’t get any worse! After a week of chilly temps but not much snow, Snowstorm Pax brought its arctic fury to the streets of Manhattan for the last day of New York Fashion Week. The scene outside the Fall 2014 shows was one of attendees bundled up from head to toe, so it was fitting then that most of the shows yesterday—J. Mendel, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren all included—sent out strong furry looks, perfect for braving the snow. If our recent season of snowstorms is looking to become a reoccurring trend, we will be needing a whole lot of fur come this time next year.

Given the veritable blizzard going on, hats were the necessary accessory du jour. Miroslava Duma and Nasiba Adilova channelled their native land looking like life-sized Russian nesting dolls, each with their embroidered scarf as headgear. André Leon Talley was even sporting a toque and burgundy snakeskin gloves to stop the cold – you know it’s serious when the King of Fabulousness goes practical. But there was no hat worthy of crowing Jared Leto’s expertly ombré-d head – nothing can stop those luscious locks. Not even a havoc-inducing blizzard.

See the pictures from the Dallas Buyers Club dinner and after party »

While King Street West is getting a ton of TIFF action this year, Dundas West is becoming a notable neighbourhood thanks to Hudson Kitchen. The newly-opened space made headlines on Friday when it was revealed that Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and the rest of the 12 Years A Slave cast sat down for a post-screening dinner there. Last night the restaurant’s private dining room saw even more A-list action when Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto attended a pre-screening dinner for Dallas Buyers Club. (Needless to say, a reservation at Hudson Kitchen will be in high demand once TIFF ends.)

McConaughey’s impressive-scary weight loss for his leading role in Dallas Buyers Club was still visible last night, but it was certainly more of a healthy-skinny than “omg this is alarming.” After dinner at Hudson Kitchen and walking the red carpet for the film’s TIFF premiere, McConaughey, Garner and Leto arrived at Cibo Wine Bar for the official after party, presented by Audi. Unlike some of the cozier TIFF parties I’ve been to, the Dallas Buyers Club party was a massive affair—in a massive venue—and the talent was hidden away from the eager eyes of attendees. However, despite not catching a glimpse of Jennifer Garner’s pretty lace Dolce & Gabbana dress IRL, partygoers enjoyed Italian snacks and glasses of wine late into the night.

The A-listers were abounding at the Dallas Buyer’s Club premiere at TIFF 2013—you know, the one that famously required co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto to lose a combined 68 pounds. It seems these guys haven’t fully bounced back from their weight loss as they were looking verrrry tiny on the red carpet.

Leto was channeling Tom-Cruise-circa-Interview with the Vampire in an all black suit, combat boots, and blood red pocket square that set off his flawless pale skin, piercing baby blues, and ombred locks. We should probably mention that he’s 41.  He looks 25. Get us whatever facial cream he’s using. Stat.

Thankfully, McConaughey ditched the blood-hungry look in favour of a classic black suit, skinny tie, and crisp white shirt. We can’t help wondering if this was the influence of his model wife Camila Alves McConaughey who chose an elbow-length black shirt with tapered black pants.

After being in the news for looking surprisingly thin in recent photos, Crystal Renn‘s agent asserted she was still a “solid size 10.” She’s been hiking a lot lately, perhaps explaining why she looks so toned. [The Cut] Read our interview with Crystal Renn from the August issue.
