Carrie Underwood looked every bit the glam country crooner on the red carpet this evening, and I'm willing to bet that at least a little bit of that ear-to-ear grin came from her recent engagement. Carrie kept things classic with well-volumized buttercream blond highlights, big ol' false lashes, and peachy pink lips and cheeks. Do you like her traditional look, or do you think it's time to switch things up from her sweet Southern blonde style?

If you've ever felt as though you'll look bad unless you straighten your hair, get highlights, go blonde, get a perm, or cover your grays, you should see Good Hair. If you care about the effects narrow normative beauty ideals have on the people around you and the larger world, you should see it. Heck, if you've ever felt like you "needed" to do anything to be attractive or accepted, you should see it.

Back in July, Jessica Alba lightened up her hair from brown with caramel-toned highlights to a somewhat flat blond shade that most of you weren't loving. We've seen the actress go back and forth with various shades of blond and brown before, but to my recollection, we've never seen her go red. Yesterday, after a trip to the salon, Jessica debuted her new red locks.

Recently, various stars have been stepping out with blond-streaked bangs, including beauty chameleon Rihanna. While hanging out in New York last night, she showed off some chunky highlights poking out from under her hairline. If you're looking for a bit of a change without the commitment, a pop of color under the fringe just might be the way to go.

Picnik is a cool program for editing and aggregating photos online, especially if you don't have a copy of Photoshop handy. But recently, they introduced a lady-geared suite of features called Touch Up that has options like Sunless Tan, Highlights, Teeth Whitener, Blemish Fix, and my least favorite, Insta-Thin. (Because, you know, we girls always want to be thin.)
I decided to try it because I find the whole photo-editing thing dubious; I understand that this stuff's an accepted part of our culture, but I'm just saying that I don't think it's so great for our psyches to worry about "perfection."

Compared to last year's look, Fergie's TCA look is a total 180. Instead of blond hair in a fishtail braid, she's sporting long, chocolaty brown hair, and her makeup is tweaked just enough to go along with the darker tones of her hair. In a recent poll, most of you weren't loving the newer color (although some were happy to get the details on her brown highlights).

In typical The Hills-inspired fashion, Audrina Patridge opts for the side pony tonight. While we're used to the reality star's dark brown locks, these days, she's going for a multitoned style, with blond tones at the roots, cascading into various shades of golds and caramels on the bottom.
As for her makeup, it's all about highlighting those light brown eyes with lots of liner and shimmery, dark gold shadow.
