Celebrity Hairstyles

We've highlighted some great celebrity hairstyles this week, from Lauren Conrad to Kim Kardashian. In the case of Hilary Duff, however, we're focused not only on the style, but on the starlet's recent color change as well!

The singer/actress/girlfriend of Mike Comrie lightened up her usual caramel color to more of a softer, lighter blonde this week. Check out the photo comparison below ...

Which hairstyle - and color - do you think looks best on Hilary Duff?

We know how most readers feel about Kim Kardashian nude. (Calm down, fellas, we're working on more photos of this vixen in the buff.)

But let's try to focus on a different body part of this socialite for a moment: her hair.

Sometimes, she wears it straight; other times, she rocks the curls. Take a look at the latter look below and send us your thoughts on it:

This is a hairy situation for Kim Kardashian. Do the curls make you wanna hurl?

"I've been trying to braid my hair like LC, and I can't figure out how she does it. Can you post a picture?" - from The Hollywood Gossip mailbag

We can't help this reader with tips on how to copy LC's look, but we can certainly oblige by posting a photo of this celebrity hairstyle - one as cute as it is unusual.

It helps to look as good as Lauren Conrad, of course.

Fans of The Hills may have noticed that in the third season, a single braid across the side of Lauren Conrad's hairline, with her long, otherwise straight and flowing locks, became her signature look of sorts. See below...

What do you think of Lauren Conrad's signature, singular braid? How does it compare with some other celebrity hairstyles we've seen on The Hills and beyond?

Emma Bunton is bobbing for a new haircut.

The Spice Girl recently told People Magazine that she's a big fan of her new hairstyle, saying:

"I just feel liberated, it's just easy now, I get up and go. ... I love it! I've always had long hair and had to work it. I feel very comfortable."

That's all well and good - but do you think the new look is an improvement?

Minka Kelly is a celebrity who can make any hairstyle work.

The Friday Night Lights actress is such a natural beauty, she's never going to go wrong. One has little trouble seeing why Derek Jeter might desire her.

As celebrity hairstyles go, however, we still prefer Minka Kelly's traditional long, straight locks to her occasional wavy mini-braids. Do you? See below ...

We understand kids want to look like their moms... but this must be cruel and unusual punishment, don't you think? We know the Bush administration doesn't care about civil liberties, but there's gotta be a law against this.

Witness below, Katie Holmes - owner of perhaps the single worst celebrity hairstyle in history - with daughter Suri Cruise, who just turned 2.

Two. Too young to be emulating mom's ridiculous haircut is more like it! Tell us, though, do you like Katie's hair, or do you agree with us?

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise: The hair impaired.

We think we know how Justin-Bobby will answer!

Sorry, that never gets old. Let us continue now.

This celebrity hair affair features Audrina Patridge, star of The Hills, the upcoming Into the Blue 2, and many a male fantasy after that naked photo scandal erupted earlier this spring. Sorry again for going there.

In any case, Audrina got hair extensions recently. But then she threw celebrity hairstyle watchers for another loop when she debuted these new (and very blunt) bangs at the MTV Movie Awards. Check it out ...

What do you think about Audrina Patridge: Bang or not bang?

Former American Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson is faced with a question for the ages these days:

To curl or to bob?

The Academy Award winner has donned both types of celebrity haircuts in recent weeks, leaving us to ask readers which they prefer. Write in and let us know today.

Hey, even the celebrity gossip world's greatest ursine specimen has to hibernate sometime. He also has to go clubbing, though.

Witness the other night. Jason Davis, a.k.a. Gummi Bear, looked like he was asleep 15 minutes before arriving at the hot club Ivy.

The result: A celebrity hairstyle you don't want to emulate ...

Jason Davis, a.k.a. Gummi Bear, rocks the trendy bed head look.

Penn Badgley stars on Gossip Girl. As Dan Humphrey, this 21-year-old has rapidly established himself as one of TV's hottest young hunks.

But he wasn't always so handsome. Just a few years ago, Penn Badgley was, shall we say, more of an alternative, long-haired hippie type?

See the celebrity hair transformation below. Here's the trendy boyfriend of Blake Lively earlier this year (left), and a few years prior ...
