Rachel McAdams at the New York screening of Midnight in Paris

Rachel McAdams celebrity hairstyle Rachel McAdams celebrity hairstyle

Celebrities celebrate Christmas too, so that means we won’t be seeing them around much on the red carpet in the next few days. Instead of a hairstyle of the day, we’ll be celebrating impressive styles that we somehow missed out on earlier in the year. First up, it’s Rachel McAdams at the Midnight in Paris screening in New York, with this fantastically retro curly hairstyle. Her blonde bob is curled to perfection, giving her a truly chic style for her first Woody Allen film premiere.

Celebrities always look great when they get off the airplane, but Lady Gaga takes things a step further by stepping off her flight to Tokyo looking like this! With a spectacular return to her long blonde locks of old, the singer has decorated her barnet with a massive blonde bow made from her hair. Add some black lipstick and she’s ready to go!

Performing at the VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul event, Florence Welch blew us away with her classic Marcel waves and centre parting. The event-appropriate hair style only served to remind us that she’s on a par with classic songstresses of old. Bravo!

Sandra Bullock’s dip dye

We are big fans of Sandra Bullock here at handbag.com. She looked very stylish indeed at the premiere of Extremely Close and Incredibly Loud in New York last night, wearing a beautiful tuxedo jacket and wearing her hair centre parted and poker straight. Her brunette hair has been livened up with a subtle dip dye, which really adds drama to this classic hairstyle. Her hair has been given a super-shiny finish and she has completed the look with perfectly groomed brows, volumised lashes and a great shade of plum lipstick.

Rooney Mara’s androgynous crop

Here at handbag.com, we are so excited for the release of The Girl WithThe Dragon Tattoo, starring Daniel Craig and Hollywood newcomer Rooney Mara. Rooney is definitely on our new style icons list – she’s classically beautiful, but showed a complete lack of vanity with her preparation for the film role, getting various body piercings and chopping off her mid-length brunette locks into a severe jet black crop. She kept her hair short even after the camera stopped rolling, although she has tamed the punky, asymmetric layers into this sleek, side-parted androgynous hairstyle for the New York premiere last night. By pairing this look with luminous skin and a flash of red lipstick, Rooney keeps things feminine.

Audrey Tautou\'s perfect blow-dry

Audrey Tautou is the epitome of Parisian chic! We have loved her look since the days of Amelie and she only seems to be getting prettier as the years go on. The French actress has varied up her hairstyle, going from the iconic Amelie pixie crop to this gorgeous, glossy mid-length style. It’s a grown out bob with just a hint of a fringe in her signature dark brunette shade. This is the kind of hair we are all aiming for when we book in for our Christmas blow-dries.

Singing ability aside, Little Mix are winners in our eyes purely for their dedication to true girl band hairstyles. All the greatest girl groups (Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, Destiny’s Child, etc) have followed one simple rule when it comes to hair: each member needs to have a completely different hairstyle. According to this theory, the Little Mix girls have each gone for their own look.

\r\n

Perrie Edwards is a gorgeous, Debbie Harry-inspired platinum blonde, while Jesy often styles her extra long golden brown locks into a tumble of curls. Leigh Anne has opted for a shade of Rihanna red and is partial to a feisty ponytail. And Bambi-eyed Jade’s long hair has been given a beautiful purple-plum shade rinse. They might have the X Factor, but they’ve most definitely got the Hair Factor too.

Dianna Agrona celebrity hairstyle Dianna Agrona celebrity hairstyle

There must be something in the water in Tinseltown this month, as every stylish starlet we can think of has gone for a bob this festive season. From Katy Perry to Rihanna, it seems like short chops are having something of a moment. Dianna Agron has been rocking her blonde bob for sometime, but for the launch of her latest magazine cover for Nylon the Glee actress has gone even shorter, and maximised her look with a rather festive hair band made from gem stones.

Rachel McAdams at the Sherlock Holmes premiere

From December

At the premiere of the second Sherlock Holmes film in Los Angeles last night, Rachel McAdams wowed with an intricate up-do – something she’s become a dab hand at. This knotted chignon oozes old school glamour and sophistication, especially with the hint of tousled waves teased at the front into a quiff. This is quintessential McAdams, and we love it.

Jayma Mays celebrity hairstyle Jayma Mays celebrity hairstyle

Jayma Mays is fast becoming one to watch in the hair department. The Glee actress opted for a half-up, half-down style for the red carpet, sweeping the rest of her hair over one shoulder for an update on the failsafe look. With her auburn-hued hair with blonde highlights and loose fringe, not to mention those doe-eyes, she looks like butter wouldn’t melt.

Katy Perry celebrity hairstyle Katy Perry with pink and blonde hair celebrity hairstyle

We’re used to Katy’s ever-changing hair, from long to short, pink to blonde, she’s a style chameleon. Stepping out with husband Russell Brand this week (dispelling any rumours of marital problems) Katy showed off a new shorter bob, framing her face in a more grown-up and sophisticated style than we’re used to seeing from her. Her pink hue is fading, revealing a pale blonde tinged with only the faintest hint of pink.
