Michelle Williams is Growing Her Pixie: Try On Her Different Lengths Here

Feb 20, 2013 @ 4:50 pm

Ever since debuting a pixie in spring of 2010, Michelle Williams hasn’t looked back at her Dawson’s-era hairstyles—until now! The star, who is one-third of our March cover, revealed that growing out her hair is currently at the top of her to-do list. “I think I’m ready! It’s on its way, slowly but surely,” Williams told E! News, adding that the in-between phase was the only thing stopping her. “That’s why I’ve stayed with short hair for so long. That mid-stage is insufferable, it’s really hard on your self-esteem.” While we’ve never seen Williams’s strands looking anything less than flawless, we already know what every stage of her hair transformation will look like thanks to our Hollywood Makeover Tool.

And you can try the growing-it-out stages, too! Just upload your picture to try on her many lengths, then, share your makeover on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see what your friends think. You may be tempted to make a change yourself! Click the box below to start.

The Perks of Being Saoirse Ronan, Star of The Host

Feb 20, 2013 @ 4:37 pm

Lisa Eisner

You may remember her from dramas like The Lovely Bones and Atonement—the role that scored her an Oscar nomination at 13!—and, now 18, Saoirse Ronan (“pronounced ‘SIR-shuh,’ like ‘inertia,’” she says of her Gaelic name) is still casting her charming spell on screen and off. “I’m old enough to have a Guinness in Ireland, but what I really want is a driver’s license so I can get an ’80s BMW like my dad had,” the Irish actress told us when she posed in this season’s most bewitching looks (like this satin Reed Krakoff dress) for InStyle’s Oz-covered March issue. Up next, you’ll see her in the big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s sci-fi thriller, The Host, in theaters March 29th. ”There’s a lot of kissing with co-stars Max Irons and Jake Abel, which sounds a bit sleazy, but it’s only because I’m playing two characters,” she says. “At least that’s the excuse I’m going with.” To find out more about Ronan, flip to page 532 on InStyle‘s March issue.
