See the best celebrity cat eye inspiration »

In the beauty world, there are a handful of trends that we never seem to get tired of—a good cat eye being one of them. Because it’s such a versatile and fresh look, we often forget that it’s been around for ages. Think Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot. Heck, Cleopatra was rocking this look back in Ancient Egypt.

There is no doubt that a cat eye can instantly amp up the glam factor of your look with nothing more than a simple flick, taking you from everyday and natural to sexy in a matter of seconds. However, it’s definitely one technique that is not easy to master and can easily discourage those with shaky hands. Thankfully, the beauty gods have heard our prayers and drawing the feline flick is easier than ever, thanks to brands who carry eyeliners that pretty much do all the work for you (from gels to liquids and even cool combos of both) and beauty blogger tips (including our Beauty Panel!) that help make the process a less daunting. Still haven’t convinced you? We’ve got just the trick. Flip through this celebrity cat eye gallery for the encouragement you need. From girl-next-door Jennifer Lawrence to rock icon Gwen Stefani, we know there’s a cat eye for you.

Topknots, braids and ponytails are three ways to play up an everyday hairstyle (especially when the look is so easy to achieve), but you’ve got to admit, nothing beats the addition of a hair accessory to instantly amp up your hair game. There’s just something we love about putting an extra somethin’ in your hair to really stand out in a crowd. While celebrities have experimented with everything from tousled side-swept hair to elaborate updos, it seems like lately many of these A-list stars are adding accessories to make the ultimate hair statement. From Chloe Grace Moretz’s simple fedora to Blake Lively’s satin headband to something a little more outrageous (cue Sarah Jessica Parker’s 2013 Met Gala headpiece), we’ve rounded up 15 wild celebrity hair accessories you can tackle for an everyday look. Or maybe for your next costume party. Your call. 

Find out which celebrity ponytail hairstyle you should try »

Like braids, the ponytail has been around for as long as we can remember. While this look may seem like the boring option when it comes to choosing a updo (after all, it is a go-to hairstyle for bad hair days and the gym), celebrities have shown us that this ‘do is anything but boring. Find it hard to believe? We’ve rounded up 10 celebrity ponytail hairstyles that work for everything from running errands to going all-out glam. And to show you that there is a ponytail for everyone out there, we went ahead and matched a personality to each style, because we care.

For the bombshells out there, Laura Vandervoort’s sleek ponytail is the look you should go for when you’re heading out for date night. Invited to a high school reunion and want to show off your unbelievable confidence? Who better than to channel Blake Lively’s Amazonian braid and ponytail hybrid for the ultimate professional-chic look? And if you just want to take a cue from Cara Delevingne and work an It Girl attitude, then her messy high pony is one you need to try. Whoever coined the term “let your hair” down clearly never laid eyes on any of these chic and easy hairdos. Here are 10 celebrity ponytail hairstyles we love.

Where to wear these drool-worthy celebrity braids »

Braids and summer seem to go hand in hand. Sure, you can opt for other summer-worthy hairstyles but somehow we keep going back to sweet, sweet braids, time and time again. What’s better is that celebrity braids have been getting more glamorous and unique each season, leaving us mesmerized and needing to try them out.

Braids have been a part of our lives forever, from sporting cute pigtails during our elementary school days to trying out the latest trend (Waterfall! Fishtail! Mermaid!) for prom, the look is one hairstyle that just never gets old. Casual or glam, you can always count on a good braid or two to take you from day to night.

In the spirit of summer, we’re all about experimenting with new hairstyles, and up next on our list is each and every one of these celebrity braids. So if you’re tired of the same old French braid, fear not. We’ve rounded up 15 of the best celebrity braids (from Blake Lively’s ponytail hybrid to Rihanna’s Amazonian braid) and shared where to wear each one this season. Whether you’re looking for a braided hairstyle suited for a dinner date or something quick and easy when you’re biking around the city, we’ve got the celebrity braid for you. So for nostalgia’s sake, it’s time to call up your besties for a night of braiding and gossip. Don’t believe us when we say there’s a braid for every event? Check out the gallery below and see for yourself! 

See the best celebrity top knot hairstyles »

Beach-waves may be synonymous with summer, but there are some days (ahem, extreme heat warnings) when we just need to throw our hair up into a quick bun ASAP. Because honestly, nothing feels worse than having hair stuck to the back of your sweaty neck on a hot summer day.

Love the convenience of a top knot but cringe at the thought of wearing the same look day in and day out? From simple high buns to dramatic bouffants, we tracked down our 10 favourite celebrity top knots on the red carpet. With the humidex slowly but surely rising lately, you know you’ll need endless ideas to switch up your ‘do. Here’s to keeping cool while looking good this summer.

See the celebrity hair transformations »

If we were to name our favourite kind of celebrity news, dramatic hair transformations would be high on that list. Though it comes as no surprise to hear that some of our fave celebs are changing up their looks for film roles (it’s in the job description, you know), we’d be lying if we said celebrity hair transformations don’t faze us from time to time. So whether the A-listers are going from long to short or from blonde to red, we’re all for it.

There’s no question short hair was a clear celebrity trend last year with Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway making the change from long to short. But judging from the latest celebrity hair transformations, this trend is here to stay. While Taylor Swift went for the drastic change earlier this year, chopping off her Rapunzel-like hair and opting for a bob style instead (possibly inspired by her IRL BFF Karlie Kloss?), the most recent (and surprising!) celeb to go short is Jennifer Aniston. Known for her wavy blonde hair, she shocked fans by debuting a sleek lob in a soft brown hue.

See the best celebrity eyebrows »

Gone are the days of over-plucked brows—full and bushy is what’s in now. Thanks to model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne, there is no denying that full eyebrows have been making waves in the beauty world in the past couple of years. Instantly able to catch someone’s attention across the room, the bold look definitely gives reason to stop and stare. And with more and more celebrity eyebrows appearing strong on the red carpet, we’re definitely taking note and ready to let our own brows run their natural course.

While there is no doubt that Delevingne is at the forefront of the statement brow trend, she isn’t the only Brit working the look. Starlets like Keira Knightley and Emma Watson are also on our full brow radar, but it’s Lily Collins that definitely takes the cake when it comes to the bushy eyebrows. Without letting them run too wild, Collins is the star to look to for inspiration on how full eyebrows should look: neat and tidy, sans “extra.”

See the 10 best bang hairstyles »

Cutting your bangs may be a drastic beauty move (and hard to maintain at times), but there’s no question it’s an instant way to change your look. Bangs work with any hair length (long, shoulder-length, pixie—you name it!) and can transform your style from sweet to edgy in a snap. But, as with any beauty trend, sometimes you need a little A-list encouragement to make the cut. From blunt to side-swept to wispy layered fringe, we tracked down the 10 of the best celebrity bangs from recent red carpets. These pictures are the ones you’ll be taking to your next hair appointment, we’re sure.

See the best celebrity style from this weekend »

Whether you live for the glamour of red carpet galas or are obsessed with how stars dress when they’re off duty and street stylin’ it up, this past weekend has you covered. Things started off with a sartorial bang at the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book gala in New York City. Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes were amongst the notable guests, and both dressed in black and white. But it was Kate Bosworth, in a pink silk Katie Ermilio dress, who stole the style show that night before jet setting to the golden coast to join Emmy Rossum at the Alexander Wang and H&M Coachella party.

Brightly coloured hair, don’t care! It took less than a day for Katy Perry’s new “slime green” dye job to make an appearance on the red carpet and we have to say… we’re pretty into it. Sure, the ends may look just a touch fried and if you squint you could easily mistake her hair for part of the background foliage, but her almost-neon style is pretty eye-catching and, well, flattering.

Perry was out with a few other notable names (Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie) to support California congressional candidate Marianne Williamson. Fun fact: Williamson, who is best known as the author of the Oprah-approved A Return to Love officiated Elizabeth Taylor’s last wedding, which was held at Neverland Ranch in 1991. Needless to say, Williamson has some pretty influential people in her rolodex, hence the star-studded press event.

We thought Katy Perry was in recovery from her days of constant hair dyeing (the wigs were working so well!) but, nope. Bring on the green! Last night the singer showed off a spring-worthy change on her Instagram, courtesy colourist Nina K from the Chris McMillan Salon in Beverley Hills. (That’s Jennifer Aniston’s BFF/hair stylist, just FYI.) The new shade, which Perry affectionately calls “SLIME GREEN” is indeed a little swampy, looking more ’90s grunge than high fashion. But Perry’s always been one to embrace DIY-inspired dye jobs: her take on pink was very Coachella-ready and her electric blue looked best with a little bit of root growth.
