Cate Blanchett’s Top Redhead Movie Moments

Apr 8, 2011 @ 6:00 pm

Cate Blanchett‘s new film Hanna hits theaters today, and we’re excited to see her play Marissa Wiegler—a tenacious intelligence officer after young assassin Hanna (Saoirse Ronan). To match her character’s fiery personality, Blanchett wears an auburn wig for the movie. “I’ve actually been a redhead quite a few times in film, and it was really important to find a shade that worked with my skin tone,” the actress told InStyle exclusively. “In Hanna, going red was director Joe Wright’s idea, but I decided the cut of the wig.” Blanchett has rocked red hair off-screen, but when we asked her if she’d ever dye it again, she told us, “Probably not for a while. I like being blond, but it’s great being able to try different looks out in films.” Click through our gallery to see Cate Blanchett’s top redhead moments!

Nail Polish: How to Wear Brights Like Kim Kardashian

Apr 8, 2011 @ 3:40 pm

Spring’s biggest nail polish trend is all about Rainbow Brights. Yellows, blues, lilacs, and more ROYGBIV hues are going to be bit hits at the nail salon this season. Take Kim Kardashian‘s bright coral, for example. The reality star chose a juicy orange shade so vibrant it almost tipped to red when she attended the Kids’ Choice Awards last weekend. These days, peach, nectarine and apricot will all pass as coral on the shelves, but the real tone, as it’s found in nature, is deeper and more sanguine. Opt for the shade to make a bold spring statement. Because what better way to accent a little white dress than a pop of color on the nails? Read on for tips on how to wear Rainbow Bright hues and which ones to buy.

Have you ever watched Steven Tyler on American Idol and thought What’s in his hair? Well, those funky strands you see are feathers! “Steven is always wanting to do fun and new things,” hairstylist Stephanie Pohl—the mastermind behind Tyler’s rock star look—told InStyle. “I saw the feathers in the hair store and knew they would be perfect for him.” And she stocked up! “I have a bunch of packages of different feathers in different colors,” Pohl said. “Every few weeks I change out the feathers and bond new ones into his hair. The feathers stay in until I remove them.” Feathers aren’t the only thing she puts in the Aerosmith singer’s hair. “He wears a braid that I sew charms into, and he wears what we call his raccoon tail in the front,” she said.

Julianne Moore as Hillary Clinton

Apr 8, 2011 @ 12:45 pm

Hillary Clinton, is that you? Our March cover girl Julianne Moore makes a very convincing Secretary of State in this leaked makeup test image from the HBO Tony Blair biopic The Special Relationship. Moore had to back out of the project due to filming conflicts with The Kids Are All Right, and actress Hope Davis eventually snagged the role. The film, which originally aired last May, also starred Michael Sheen as Blair, and Dennis Quaid as Bill Clinton. And while she didn’t end up playing Clinton, she’s gearing up to play another political lady: Sarah Palin in HBO’s upcoming flick Game Change. Tell us: Did Moore’s Clinton photo make you do a double take? We did!
