Jennifer Garner
Ombré's time has come and gone—there's a new trend in town. "I am actually really inspired by the '90s right now," says L'Oréal Professionnel artist Jason Backe. "I love seeing bolder highlights and strong ribbons running through the hair—sort of Cindy Crawford, circa 1992." Getty Images

Halle Berry
Halle's grown out her signature pixie, but lighter pieces make her chin-skimming bob look anything but basic. For your own version, try an at-home kit like L'Oréal's Touch-On Highlights ($13.99), applying color to small sections of hair starting about an inch below the roots where you'll have more control. And consider just doing the undersides until you get the hang of it—mistakes and uneven applications will be less visible. Getty Images
Babylights

"Babylights are a great way to introduce highlights and dimension into the hair," says Theresa Adams, master stylist at Dop Dop Salon in New York City. "They're easy to maintain with little upkeep and a natural grow-out." Just be sure to ask for very subtle, natural-looking highlights. Getty Images
Softer Reds
Kate Middleton
