Emily Bibb — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:27:12 EST

Julianne Hough kicked off the People's Choice Awards on a bold note. Her cropped, golden hair was contrasted by bold, dark eyebrows. She kept the rest of her look polished with inky black liner and a pop of pink on her lips. While pencilled-in, look-at-me brows are a big trend for Summer, a contrast this daring is quite a beauty statement. Julianne pulls it off, but would you test-drive this trend?

The start of the year is the perfect time to make a dramatic change to your look, and freshly chopped hair could be just the thing to scratch your new year beauty itch. The bob has made a return to the celebrity hair scene and this time it's very sharp and extremely edgy. Karlie Kloss is currently rocking the right-now-bob, as is Margherita Missoni, Leighton Meester and Phoebe Tonkin; but there's been more than a few over the years that we're looking back to for new year hair-spiration.

The Icon Kit: Emma Watson's Fun, Feathered Look

Alison Larsen — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:28:13 EST

There's been plenty of amazing Emma Watson fashion moments we could write about, but this one, from November 2010, is by far our favourite. She'd just cut her hair off following the filming of the final Harry Potter movie, and the world (Sugar included), fell in love all over again. This was the moment that Emma blossomed into a woman, and her Raphael Lopez dress was just perfect. Her legs looked next level - so brown and shiny! - and her wet-look hair was a beauty moment in itself. The whole look is very party and the feathers bring the perfect touch of festive. Wanna copy? Let's go.

How to Style Short Hair: Tips From Halle Berry's Stylist

Jessica Cruel — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 09:30:13 EST

No question about it, Halle Berry has the most envied pixie in Hollywood. Her cut is always perfectly tousled to appear undone. But it's a major misconception that short hair is a simple wash-and-go style.

If you're rocking cropped strands, celebrity stylist Neeko (who styled Halle for the Cloud Atlas premiere) has a few suggestions to make your daily hair routine an easy encounter instead of a drawn-out ordeal. If you have a great cut to begin with, you may be able to pull off Halle's "dishevelled pixie" in 20 minutes or less. Start by mussing up dry hair with a blow dryer and your fingers. Then use a product like Bumble & Bumble Thickening Spray ($50) to achieve height on top. "The trick of getting short hair to stand up is creating a great base," Neeko says. "No teasing of the hair, but using root-thickening products." Finish the look by moulding hair into a piecey pattern with a flat iron.

Luckily, the list of products needed for short hair maintenance is, well, short. Neeko recommends keeping a leave-in conditioner on hand to separate strands. To spike hair upward or slick it down, use a pomade. But achieving an even faster second-day style may require a trip to the home decor department. "I always suggest just sleeping on it, using rayon or bamboo sheets and pillowcases," Neeko said. We might not be able to live like Halle, but with practice, anyone can get close to her hair.

Happy 40th Birthday, Gwyneth Paltrow!

POPSUGAR Beauty AU — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 08:58:16 EST

Gwyneth Paltrow is celebrating her 40th birthday today so, to mark the special occasion, we thought we'd check out her beauty files. It was 'round about April 2008 that the A-lister chopped off her hair, got her sexy back and set the worldwide trend for lobs. Before then she'd played it kind of safe with her long locks. Perhaps she was still trying to recover from the matching his 'n' hers Brad Pitt crop - remember that?! But now there's no stopping the actress, blogger and Estée Lauder spokeswoman. She consistently wows on the red carpet, time and time again. Happy birthday, Gwyneth! We hope you have a fabulous day!

Celebrity Hair We Love: Lena Dunham's New Pixie Cut

Alison Larsen — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 12:09:11 EST

Writer, creator and lead star of the hit HBO show, Girls, Lena Dunham is the poster girl for twenty-something women trying to find their place in the world. We love her for her cool tattoos, awesome humour and real-girl approach to beauty (and life), and now she's taken a cue from Miley Cyrus and had The Chop! Lena posted a picture to her Instagram account showing off her new pixie crop, adding in jest, "I Miley'd the sh*t out of this Saturday". It's a much more subtle version of Miley's razor style, and we think it's the perfect choice for Lena.

Anne Hathaway: Cutting My Hair Reduced Me to Tears

Jaime Richards — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 07:19:39 EST

Making a drastic change can heighten emotions, and Anne Hathaway admitted that her newly ultrashort cut caused her to turn on the waterworks. "I was inconsolable," she said while appearing on Live! With Kelly. And even though she's been faced with difficult tasks during her career, Anne revealed that this one was high on intensity. "I've done backflips out of windows, I've jumped off of buildings, [but] cutting my hair reduced me to mental-patient-level crying." Anne's latest look comes as a result of her role as Fantine in the upcoming film adaptation of Les Misérables. "[The haircut] is something I wanted to do for a long time, and I knew it was something the character did," she said. But as the time drew nearer for the big chop, she had reservations: "I thought, 'I really can't take it back now!'" A few months have passed since she debuted her pixie, and if a picture is worth a thousand words, it seems like Anne's more OK with her gamine look. Are you loving it? And have you ever had a cut that's made you cry?
