Tuesday, 1 December 2009

When you are likely to see your outfit on the pages of numerous magazines it is important to be at the cutting edge of fashion and trail blazing new looks and that is why so many celebrities are extremely particular about what they wear.

But while it is obvious that what the stars wear has a big impact on what we ourselves fill our wardrobes with - eg. Kate Moss singlehandedly ensuring skinny jeans were the only way to wear denim for the last couple of years - the way in which celebrities style their hair also changes frequently to stay 'on trend.'

One of the biggest celebrity hair styles of 2009 was Victoria Beckam's pixie crop. Despite having sported extensions for years, this year Posh turned up to a fashion event sporting a closely trimmed crop that made many women all across the world rethink their previous prejudice again shorter hairstyles.

This style made Victoria look both elegant a la Audrey Hepburn, though also feisty and fearless in her turn away from the long locks sported by most celebrities. Be warned though, to pull off a style like this not only must you have bags of confidence, but you also need to have the right face shape. This style will always look best on ladies with strong features and heart-shaped faces.

As well as being a year of celebrity ladies sporting a short back and sides, 2009 has also been the year of the bob. Perhaps not feeling quite as brave as Mrs Beckham, this year many stars have been swapping their longer locks for a slightly shorter jaw-grazing do. Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud has had her hair styled into a sleek bob, whilst Joanna Page has been wearing her bob tousled and girly. Dannii Minogue has also been doing a fabulous job of showing women everywhere how shorter styles can be amazingly versatile by changing the way she wears her shorter hair every week.

The biggest representative of the bob brigade is, however, Katie Holmes, who chopped off her beloved Joey-from-Dawson's-Creek tresses in favour of a more wife-and-mum style. Those celebrities not keen on lopping off their long locks have instead been making a statement by finally throwing out their hair straighteners. Radio One's Fearne Cotton and the X Factor's Stacey Solomon have both been wearing their hair wavy and the beautiful Taylor Swift has also been keeping it natural and simple with her naturally curly locks.

Sweeping long hair to one side has also been a big look this year and Leona Lewis has frequently been seen with her long tresses pulled to one side, a look that is both easy a glamorous. So if you're thinking of taking in the plunge and going for a new hairstyle, think carefully about what will suit the shape of your face and what will fit in well with your lifestyle. Unlike when you buy roxy clothes you can`t try a hairstyle on for size first, but that being said, don`t be afraid to be brave. Remember, it'll always grow back!
