Sheryl Crow looks effortlessly gorgeous at her Breast Cancer Awareness Benefit in 2010. Her golden, loose waves are Sheryl's signature style – and we can't get enough of it.

The actress, comedian, writer, and now author of the hilarious best-seller Bossypants rocks a sassy-yet-polished cut at the annual NYC Bunny Hop charity event in March 2011. Bonus points for her pretty highlights and healthy-looking ends!

Alyson Hannigan shows off a rich auburn hue at the ELLE Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute in Beverly Hills in 2010. Her sideswept bangs are slightly grown-out, drawing attention to her bright green peepers.

Jennifer Hudson goes casual in a loose fishtail braid when performing at the AOL Studios in Beverly Hills in March 2011. Her funky twist goes perfectly with her pop-of-pink lips and skirt.

Mother to almost equally famous Suri, Katie Holmes attends the premiere of The Decision in March 2011 in New York wearing unstructured, glossy curls. Her center part and sans bangs style frames her oval face perfectly.

Nicole Richie usually opts for a boho hairstyle, so when she stepped out at an NYC Fashion Week party at Bergdorf Goodman in February 2011 with structured waves and a slicked back bangs, we were impressed by her change up. What can be an awkward length was perfectly Hollywood glam when paired with red lips. Try flipping out the ends of your shoulder-length hair cut to get a similarly chic style.

We love the way Gwyneth Paltrow hits the perfect mix of straight and sleek at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in West Hollywood. Her slightly lighter ends are on-trend, and her blonde hue has just the right dimension to bring out the pink undertones in her skin. If you're thinking about going blonde, talk to your stylist about getting the right shade to complement your skin tone.

Kelly Ripa looks stunning in a soft chignon at The Point Foundation Gala in New York City in March 2011. Her asymmetrical updo lets her curls fall to one side for face-framing perfection.

Reese Witherspoon looks every bit herself wearing her signature blonde color, volumous locks, and cute bangs an Avon event in Atlanta in January 2011. The mom of two, new bride, and star of Water for Elephants just launched a trio of fragrances with Avon and is the brand's global ambassador. But, she says her favorite role is playing mom to her two children, Ava and Deacon.
