Some advice for Kate Middleton on how to style her new bangs

Kate Middleton's bangs By Kate Torgovnick

Kate Middleton has always been a champion of the side part. The Duchess has worn her hair the same stunning way for years—until yesterday, when she was spotted with long, center-parted bangs. Not only does she not look happy about her hair evolution, but sources say that she is truly on the fence. According to The Daily Beast, when a spectator in the crowd complimented Middleton on her hair, she replied, “I’m not sure about it.”

I have some advice. Because, essentially, Middleton now has my haircut.

First, bangs have a certain undone quality to them. Which does not play well with Middleton’s usual hair trick–curled ends. Kate, go straight! I think your bangs will look far better with dryer straightened hair or, gasp, your natural wave.

Second, don’t mess with your part. These bangs are very, very long, and the center part only calls attention to them. They will look much better with your usual side part–they’ll cut across your eye in an ultra alluring way.

Third, get your stylist to blend in that one piece that is jutting out. It needs a snip. Badly.

And step four, smile!

Try these things and then make a decision on whether to grow the bangs back out. I’m thinking they could be edgy and super cute, if styled correctly.

Katy Perry with hair every single color of the rainbow

Katy Perry arrived at the Coachella music festival this weekend rocking a brand new hair color—a darker, richer, longer version of the blue hair she’s been sporting lately. Her hair stylist Rita Hazan tells Page Six, “Her new color is what I call purple velvet. It’s dark and rich. It’s very punk rock. I love creating colors for her because she always knows how to rock it.”

And rock it Perry did—while crowd-surfing to pal Rihanna’s set with DJ Calvin Harris, in fact. But while the press seems fine dubbing this color “purple,” I just have to point out that it looks closer to navy blue to me. Which interestingly, is the color Rihanna recently expressed interest in.

“Navy blue is my color right now,” Rihanna told People in March. “Not any blue, not the punk blue. I have yet to see the right one. It does not exist yet!”

Should Rihanna have a problem with Perry cramping her style, I’m guessing that the “Teenage Dream” singer won’t have trouble adjusting. Perry has literally had her hair every color of the rainbow.  Here, Katy Perry in all her ROY G BIV glory.

The grand mystery of Kate Bosworth’s new Company magazine cover

Kate Bosworth Company magazine

Kate Bosworth‘s May cover of Company magazine is a wee bit confusing. See, in the techincolor cover image, Bosworth has her hair dip-dyed a lovely shade of blue-green. However, the last time Bosworth sported this look was last summer.

The “Life Happens” actress was kind enough to explain the hair color choice a few months back.

Katy Perry’s new hair reminds me of a My Little Pony

Katy-Perry-ponytail

Katy Perry is still going through her blue period. The “Teenage Dream” pop star shared a while back that the inspiration for her blue hair was half Anna Wintour and half Kate Winslet in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” However it seems even more clear what Perry was going for with the gorgeous blue and purple ponytail she rocked at the 25th annual Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards in Los Angeles this weekend. Duh, it’s Tink-a-tink-a-too, the My Little Pony.

Proof after the jump.

Obsessed with: Katy Perry’s Kate Winslet-inspired blue hair

Katy Perry's blue hair is half Anna Wintour, half Kate Winslet in "Eternal Sunshine"Almost a month after first being spotted with blueberry hued hair, Katy Perry has explained her eccentric yet sleek dye choice. The star tells Women’s Wear Daily that her hair is the middle ground between two disparate inspirations—Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s sophisticated bob, and Kate Winslet’s haphazard mess of blue curls in the film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”

“I was trying to find a happy medium between crazy and mature,” explains Perry.

Alternate theory: Perry voiced Smurfette in last summer’s reboot of “The Smurfs,” and thus still has blue on the brain. That, or she found a way to externalize feeling blue over her split with Russell Brand.

Katy Perry makes like a pink-haired mermaid

Katy Perry mermaidOh, how I love this Katy Perry ad for GHD‘s new blow dryer, shot by the amazing David LaChapelle. The image transforms Perry into a mermaid, complete with a sequined tail. While I do find the ad a touch confusing because Perry appears to be wearing a pinky-purple wig in it — and why would one need to wash and blowdry a wig? — I’m willing to overlook that logical flaw because of the gorgeousness of the image. (Another issue I’ll brush past: do mermaids need blowdryers if they live under the sea?) I also adore what Perry had to say to Marie Claire Australia about the pic: “It’s as if Lisa Frank had done ‘The Little Mermaid.’” Genius.
