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!

There was a surprise winner on the red carpet at last night’s Emmys awards show and it happened to be the colour yellow. It’s safe to say many of the stars had a sunny outlook for the night.

Julianne Moore, Claire Danes, and Kaley Cuoco all sported dresses in egg yolk yellow. Moore opted for pieces from Raf Simmons’ first couture collection for Christian Dior, Danes wore Lanvin which flattered her pregnant belly, and Cuoco wore Angel Sanchez.

Our favourite funny girls, Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey, kept their looks simple and classic. Dressed in a cream Balenciaga, black sequined Stella McCartney, and burgundy Vivienne Westwood, respectively, these comedians looked anything but silly.

There were some could-be-prom-queen moments from Zooey Deschanel and January Jones, whose trains were as long as they were wide. Deschanel had a cutesy manicure (of course) to go with her Reem Acra fluffy gown that featured a tiny TV on her nail. Turns out wearing tulle on the red carpet is harder than it seems because Zooey Deschanel got her gown caught on Lucy Liu’s metallic Versace dress. Oh, the agony!

Despite Zooey Deschanel and January Jones’ large looks, many women opted for body hugging dresses. Sofia Vergara resembled a sparkling mermaid in Zuhair Murad which featured a between the boobs cut-out and Hayden Panettiere was feeling blue in her bollywood inspired Marchesa gown. Michelle Dockery also hopped aboard the blue train in a Louis Vuitton satin dress and Nicole Kidman joined as well with a teal embellishment.

The Snuggie runway show had it all: prints, colours and canine sizes to suit every Snuggie occasion. But according to Joan Rivers, the Snuggie is a rip off of the Slanket. “I think the Slanket is an item of fashion, because he was on my show How’d You Get So Rich?” Rivers said. “And he was the original — the Snuggie took it from the Slanket.” Sounds like a classic case of which came first, the Snuggie or the Slanket?

The buzz was high surrounding the appearance of Lady Gaga at Out Magazine’s party last night. The pop singer showed up an hour after the scheduled end of the party, refused press, and gave no performance, disappointing her eagerly-awaiting fans. Did we mention the wannabe diva left after a mere 15 minutes? [WSJ]
