Jessica Lowndes
How do the girls in the 90210 zip code wear center parts? Emphasized by chicly plaited strands and an off-the-neck updo, of course. To pull off this look for fancy affairs, just remember to start with clean hair unless you're going for a boho vibe.
Chelsea Handler
For this late-night host, a super-refined hairstyle would look a little phony. That's why we love this slightly-disheveled bun and the parted face-framing layers. We wonder if she was inspired by spring's messy knot from the 3.1 Phillip Lim show?
Elizabeth Olsen
Olsen's don't leave the house without signature accessories and complementary hair. That's why we love how Elizabeth pairs her mega-choker with this minimal bun. But fashion, aside, it's the smattering of not-too-perfect wispies that really bring this understated look home.
Dita Von Teese
Yes, we love Von Teese's flawless skin, but it's this departure from her usual side part that has really got us talking. Recreate a retro look like this by molding hair at the forehead away from the face to truly ace your best Ginger Rogers 'do.
Garcelle Beauvais
Side braids are in! This always-glam actress chose to spruce hers up at a September benefit with a fashionable center part that also serves to show off her cool widow's peak.
Ciara
At a charity benefit in October, this pop star draws attention to her bold brows and fierce features, thanks to symmetrical highlights and loose waves. Ask your colorist to experiment with warmer face-framing shades if you like this look, too.
Salma Hayek
Proving that she always deserves to be called a style-smart lady, Hayek uses her center-parted bangs to soften her cheekbones and make this boardroom-esque look a bit more caliente for a Puss in Boots screening.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Paltrow wows the crowd at the 2011 Emmy Awards with her sleek strands and beach-blonde hue. This A-lister even balances her black-tie garb with laidback-chic, texturized ends. Who knows? Perhaps the actress is an early fan of the Cali-girl looks from the spring 2012 runways.
Heidi Klum
Some mom's have all the fun. This supermodel-mom-host, shows her wild side with parted, tousled waves at a perfume launch in LA. Snag this look on the cheap by using a medium-sized curling iron and twirling hair away from the face, instead of towards it.
Jaime King
A flapper-esque frock calls for a 1920's faux bob. This model-turned-actress keeps hers modern with a center part and lots of shine serum.
Jennifer Lopez
J. Lo channels another American Idol (Farrah Fawcett) with this feathered-out look. We're loving her caramel highlights so much, we just might be adding this sultry hue to our fall hair color guide.
Olivia Palermo
While in Paris for Fashion Week, Palermo proves she's no socialite-snooze, by punching up her sleek and neat low bun with big earrings, ruby red lips, and a severe center part. Let this be a lesson to all you Lazy Girls out there: Fab accessories (and great hair) are a sure-fire way to move the needle from boring to brilliant.
Julianne Hough
The Footloose star shimmers from the crown of her head to the nape of her neck, thanks to glimmering lotions and clean, shiny strands. To score this elegant (yet tastefully simple) red-carpet updo, we wonder if she stocked up on some of our favorite holiday hair potions.
Alicia Keys
When this songbird goes 1970s, she does it all the way. At a Lifetime event in September, Keys wears full, bouncy curls to match her white, disco-diva jumpsuit. To score a similar look, remember not to curl strands all the way to the root.
Evangeline Lilly
At the Real Steel premiere, Lilly retains her sweetheart cred with a glossy ponytail and evenly-split side bangs. We love how her bronzer is blended out to enhance her face frame where the shorter pieces hit her cheekbones.
Vanessa Hudgens
Topping our list of the best shoulder-length hairstyles is this long-in-front, short-in-back coif worn by the High School Musical graduate. In this case, the center part, coupled with Hudgens' jet black hair hue, gives her relaxed get-up a gothic edge.
