Actress Anne Hathaway sure had one sexy, stylish red carpet year. While some life events might not have played out the way she would have hoped, she sure revved it up when it came to glamorous hair and makeup looks.

Her classic yet modern take on a wavy updo, along with some warm, coppery-toned makeup, will no doubt be requested for years to come. Are you looking for more of this year's faves?

Next month, The L Word returns for its final season, and judging by the previews, it's gonna be a good one. (Face it, any show that features Kate Moennig is going to be worth watching.)
To commemorate the show's Jan. 18 return, Three Custom Color Specialists has created four lipsticks ($20 each) inspired by Bette, Kit, Alice, and Shane — and the sheer shades are alluring indeed. They're currently available for preorder, so check out the colors when you read more
What would you do with approximately 250 bottles of nail polish? Why, painstakingly paint a giant colorful quilt on your car, of course.
According to The Gazette, that's just what Urbana, Maryland resident Jill Bell did. After finding a dent in her car's hood, she cleverly painted a Band-Aid over the unsightly bump. Chuckle. She liked the idea so much, she decided to paint her entire car with nail polish! Click here to check out the photos. I'm guessing (and hoping) she didn't use one of those $30-a-pop lacquers from Chanel's Moscow Collection.
Nope. What she did use? The help of others. "Lots of ladies in my church donated nail polish, and lots of ladies at Weight Watchers, too," she told the newspaper. Bell estimates that 100-250 bottles of nail polish were used to accomplish this feat — a feat that took 13 months to finish. Whoa.
One of the most iconic models of the 1960s measured 5'9", but she was known as The Shrimp. Even though Jean Shrimpton hated that nickname, it stayed with her throughout her long career in fashion. The gamine Brit began modeling as a teenager, but it wasn't until she wore a minidress — then considered scandalous — to a horse race that she became an international icon. Shrimpton became front-page news, horrifying the "proper" older generations while inspiring teenagers to shorten their hemlines.
A fixture of London's Carnaby Street scene, she appeared in top magazines, was a model for Revlon and Yardley, and (along with Twiggy) helped define Swinging London style. Fast-forward to the present day, where she and husband Michael Cox run a bed and breakfast in Cornwall. For lots of pictures of the Shrimp in her heyday, read more
Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter, denim leggings, and over-the-knee brown boots.
