Miley Cyrus Cut Her Hair Again, and It’s Even Shorter

Nov 26, 2012 @ 2:15 pm

Miley Cyrus is scissor-happy! Back in August, the bride-to-be swapped her trademark layers for a pixie crop, and just last week, she chopped her long fringe into a short, piecey style. But this change wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, the singer may have been plotting the spiked ‘do for a while. “While she loves the reveal, Miley’s choices are more calculated than impulsive,” hairstylist Kristina Barricelli, who has worked with Cyrus, told us in our December issue. What do you think of her new cut? Tell us in the comments! Plus, if you’re feeling bold, head over to our Hollywood Makeover Tool to preview a pixie cut on yourself—no scissors required.

Catherine’s Red L.K. Bennett Coat: Back for Another Year

Nov 26, 2012 @ 1:37 pm

We love the coat collection Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has acquired for England’s chilly weatherjust take a look at several here—and there’s one we’ve been hoping she’d slip on again ever since she first debuted it last year: This L.K. Bennett tailored red style. She first wore the wool design with a patent leather red belt to check out the UNICEF Global Supply Center in Copenhagen last November, and the $550 coat immediately became a hot item to buy online. Now no longer available, she whipped it out again—finally… over a year later—to attend the Autumn International rugby match between Wales and New Zealand in Cardiff, Wales on Saturday, this time, wearing it the way it came, sans additional accessories with its built-in silver buckle. One coat, two ways! Isn’t it obvious why we don’t get tired of watching her style?

Holiday Hair Trend We Love: Pompadour Updos

Now this is one way to pump up the volume! Jessica BielRihanna, and Scarlett Johansson each added a retro twist to their hairstyles by incorporating a mini-pompadour for recent appearances. Rihanna and Johansson opted for side-swept versions, while Biel’s finger-wave texture added a graphic edge. The extra height can dress up a familiar style like a bun or ponytail, and is a fun way to hide second-day strands. In fact, skipping a shampoo is recommended—clean, blown-out hair is too slippery to hold this style all day. To try this look, take out a section near the front of your head before securing your updo, and tease gently at the roots. Use a piece of unteased hair to hide the backcombing, and depending on your desired effect, secure the volume either at the side or top of your head. Voila!
