Celebrities have been keeping salons busy this year by making serious changes to their trademark styles. Michelle Obama kicked off the new year (and her birthday!) by adding brow-skimming bangs to her look, and was followed by Rihanna‘s shorn side-cut, Reese Witherspoon‘s brunette hue, and most recently, Jennifer Lawrence‘s dramatic chop. With all the ‘dos taking the red carpet, we’re more inspired than ever to change up our styles as well. That’s why we put together a list of every celebrity hair makeover that we loved in 2013—so far! Click the photo to take a before and after look at each style, then head over to our Hollywood Makeover Tool to preview them on yourself before booking a salon appointment.

How Rihanna’s First Lipstick for MAC Can Be Yours

May 1, 2013 @ 2:00 pm

In February, we reported that Rihanna was working on a makeup collection with MAC, and now the wait is over! Starting Thursday, May 2, the singer will debut her RiRi Woo lipstick online and at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, where ticketholders for her Diamonds World Tour concert can pick up a tube at a pop-up shop. The shade is Rihanna’s take on MAC’s iconic Ruby Woo lipstick, which she remixed by adding a touch of the deep wine tone she favors. The singer will be rolling out additional products with the brand through the year. “The rule about not matching your makeup to your outfit is dated,” she told InStyle previously. “I do that on stage, matching red lipstick to a bright red jacket or neon-pink eye shadow to a pink jumpsuit!” Shop RiRi Woo Thursday, May 2 for $15 at maccosmetics.com.

Found It! Rihanna’s Crisp White Blazer by Rag & Bone

Apr 10, 2013 @ 4:00 pm

Rihanna took a daring plunge in a her tailored blazer, which she paired with matching white shorts and cap-toe sneaks. You can snag her Jefferson style jacket from Rag & Bone ($535 at rag-bone.com), or get the look for less with a similar version by Michael Michael Kors ($130 at nordstrom.com). It would also work well over a black tank and dark denim skinnies!

Givenchy Designed Rihanna’s “Diamonds World Tour” Costumes: See the Sketches

Rihanna‘s “Diamonds World Tour” launched Friday in Buffalo, New York—and to shine bright, she looked to Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci to create her opening looks! Tisci, who counts Rooney Mara, Mila Kunis, and Liv Tyler among his fans, designed a floor-length ruffled silk crepe cape (left), embellished with 3D collar embroidery, for the singer. When she drops that topper, it reveals three pieces underneath (right), including a parka printed with a silver target and stars on its back. “Rihanna represents what young and amazing means today. She is punk and talented. She offers intelligence, energy, and pure beauty,” Tisci said in a statement. “She is the face of her generation.” And that face gets the most special customization: the golden bullets on the cuff of her hood have “RiRi” inscribed on them, and her complete second look is covered in dozens of black Swarvoski crystals. “Like diamonds in the sky,” indeed. Check to see if Rihanna’s coming to a city near you on ticketmaster.com.

In Stores Today: Rihanna’s Collection for River Island

Mar 5, 2013 @ 10:39 am

It was only two weeks ago that Rihanna debuted herself as a fashion designer for River Island at London Fashion Week, and already, her guest collection for the British brand is in stores today! The pieces are all looks inspired by the star’s style, from neon crop tops to loose maxi dresses to jumpsuits (all priced between $30 and $145), and that makes it all the more authentic. “Every time I saw something on a rack, there was something I wanted to do to it to change it, so I thought the only way I could do that is by designing the perfect thing for me,” Rihanna said in a video taped backstage. Watch the clip above to see Rihanna’s River Island collection, as modeled by girls dancing to “Diamonds,” and shop it—including the 200 limited-edition pieces Rihanna marked with her signature “R” script—now on riverisland.com.
