Channeling Diana Ross with a sparkling Sergio Hudson gown, Keke Palmer stepped out with a blown-out afro that hits just under her shoulder bone.

Certified Lover Boy Drake first popularized the heart cut-out, and now we have Russell Westbrook submitting his own take on the classic dark Caesar fade.

Old Hollywood waves and a classic red lip? Eiza González definitely understood the assignment.

It wouldn’t be a Yara Shahidi look without curls and baby hairs. Here, the star slipped on an embellished headband to add some bling to her braids.

Gabrielle Union’s stunning dress commanded most of the attention, but her sleek bun and gorgeous bangs served as the perfect accents to her black and white getup.

From her “wet look” last night at the MTV VMAs to a chic pony with short, sharp bangs, Megan Fox can do no wrong.
