2011 Celebrity Makeovers
2011 Celebrity Makeovers
Even though her hair is usually blond (see this year's Oscar's hairstyle), Scarlett Johansson is no stranger to the dark side—but the auburn color she debuted last spring was especially fiery! Designed for her reprisal of Black Widow in The Avengers, the hue was redder than the role's original look. For now, Johansson is back to blond: she attended this month's We Bought a Zoo premiere wearing a flaxen updo.
Two Mildred Pierce events, two different looks! At the New York premiere in March, Evan Rachel Wood wore platinum-blond locks and ruby lipstick; by the film's Venice Film Festival debut in September, she was retro-chic with a golden pixie and '60s-inspired eye makeup.
After photos leaked of Eva Mendes wearing a beehive and winged-out eyeliner, rumors swirled that she was starring in an Amy Winehouse biopic. Not true! It turns out her transformation was for Holly Motors, a film costarring Kylie Minogue.
Glee star Dianna Agron kicked off 2011 sweet, attending the Oscars with old-Hollywood tresses and classic makeup—but she's ending the year spicy! Since shedding her cheerleader image for a shaggy bob, the actress has experimented with pink hair color and pumped-up, textured tresses (not to mention some smoking-hot eye makeup). Rock on!
We love Jonah Hill no matter what size he is. But one thing is for certain: the cuddly goofball from Superbad has slimmed down to a super-stud! After a pep talk from Brad Pitt on the set of Moneyball, Hill became motivated to shed the pounds. Combine a newly svelte physique with a haircut, eye contacts, and new wardrobe, and Hill has leading-man written all over him.
Lindsay Lohan caused a stir on gossip websites after being photographed with alarmingly discolored teeth in October—soon after, she was treated to a professional Zoom whitening by celebrity dentist Bill Dorfman, DDS. Besides a more luminous smile, the troubled star's life is looking brighter too: after a few bumps in the road, her recent court-ordered progress review was a success. Add this to her red-hot Marilyn Monroe-inspired Playboy cover, and 2012 just might be Lohan's year to shine.
Drew Barrymore began the year with ombré hair, and she'll end it with the dip-dyed color too! Always a beauty chameleon, however, Barrymore had a redheaded stint in between.
It seems like just yesterday that Abigail Breslin was Little Miss Sunshine! But it's apparent from this month's New Year's Eve premiere that the teen is all grown up. Though Breslin used to wear her hair dark and loose, she's now golden and glamorous; her softened makeup complements the look.
When ELLE fitness guru Brooklyn Decker got a bob, it was the chop heard around the blogosphere. But after the initial shock, it's clear that Decker's layered cut is the perfect fit!
Beyoncé has added bumpalicious to her impressive portfolio—since announcing her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, she continues to flaunt her fierce fashion sense with ease.
Once upon a time, Ginnifer Goodwin had long hair, but she opted for a super-short pixie for most of 2011. At the CMA Awards in November, however, she sported grown-out locks in the form of a textured bob.
When it comes to hair and makeup, Katy Perry is quite the adventuress (remember her out-of-this-world alien look in E.T.?). After starting the year with rainbow eye makeup and her signature black tresses, Perry had a pink-hair phase for a few months. But just when everyone got used to the color, the shock pop-rocker debuted a silver-streaked blond look.
Never say never? Ben Affleck typically wears his hair closely cropped—so when he was spotted with a longer shag over the summer, people wondered if he was a Belieber. But alas, it was just for his role in Argo.
Like her Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf, Leighton Meester has a flair for the dramatic—at least in the beauty department. Whether it's wearing a bold smoky eye or purple lipstick, Meester has done it all. But blunt bangs might be the one thing she hasn't tried yet. Until now! After rocking highlights over the summer, Meester went with dark hair and fringe for fall.
Meester's fellow Gossip Girl, Blake Lively, also tried something different with her hair in 2011. Though her perfect blond highlights are lust-worthy, Lively traded them in for reddish locks in April (she thought they were more appropriate for her character in Hick). After filming wrapped, however, Lively went back to her longtime color.
Taylor Swift had blunt bangs on the April 2010 cover of ELLE—and now she has the look again! Fringe or not, this country songstress has seriously enviable tresses.
