Brilliant! I already love Carey Mulligan's pretty short cut, but last night, she really showed off the look's versatility with a fake-out bouffant that made her hair look long and voluminous. It's a perfect style for nights out or whenever you'd just like to change things up a bit. It's also a really easy style to create — all you need is a teasing comb, hair spray, and bobby pins. So to find Read more
Alicia Keys has always been notable for her love of vintage styling, and it's fun to see what she comes up with, whether it's a complicated fishtail braid or Ava Gardner curls. Last night at a screening of Biutiful, Alicia debuted this high-topped beehive with a retro swirl in the front. She's always wearing looks from the first half of the 20th century, but does this one work? Love It Read more
I have no idea what this Japanese commercial for Seiyu stores is saying, but the hair is awesome. It reminds me of Marie Antoinette's enormous sculptural hairstyles, which took the French court by storm and had to have wire underpinnings and horse hair padding. Apparently, though, this commercial is poking fun at himegyaru style, a subculture of girls who wear huge bouffants and dress like Read more
I know some of you are already fans of Bust magazine (I'm willing to bet money that Krampalicious is a long-time reader like me). But since it's an independent magazine that isn't carried all over the place, it might be new to some of you. If you like smart stories and saucy sex advice and fashion spreads that have curvy girls as well as slim ones, you'll like it a lot. Every issue has a quirky Read more
Elizabeth Banks looked like she walked straight out of the 1970s for her Allure June cover, and it's thanks to Oribe, editorial hairstylist extraordinaire. Using a Patti Hansen cover from the disco-era for inspiration, as it turns out, the retro-themed style is perfect for modern times, as well. "The fullness at the sides gives it a really interesting, beautiful look," Oribe explained. And Read more

True to form, Carey Mulligan lit up the red carpet in a Prada tonight — a confection of paillettes that looked like the most glamorous fish scales. We love how Carey finished this look with a touch of '60s-inspired charm, complementing the metallic halter-style gown with a chic bouffant and sultry cat-eye liner. Not to overdo it, she finished with just the right pumps — a classic satin heel Read more
Half-up styles are both lovely and often overcomplicated, which is why we were elated at the sight of this pretty, easy half-bouffant at the Nina Ricci show. Guido, the show's hair creative consultant, says he was "inspired by the '60s, actresses like Brigitte Bardot or a little like a woman in a David Hamilton photo." For a breakdown on how to style the look, just keep reading. Read more
