She's smart, she's funny, and Tina Fey can glam it up with the best of them. Here she works a half-up style with lots of height.

Amanda Seyfried

While we love it when the Dear John star wears her gorgeous blond locks down and loose, this slicked-back bun looked super-chic with her Armani Privé gown.

Jennifer Lopez

We don't care that J.Lo hasn't made an award-winning movie in, well, ever — just as long as she continues to work daring hairstyles like this messy topknot. P.S. Note her bold blonde streaks.
