"She had mentioned she wanted a haircut," said the star's hairstylist, Renato Campora. "She didn't know what direction she wanted to go, and this new modern bob was the first style I thought of. We've worked together so long that she really trusts me. I love the way it shows off her neck, but is still long enough for a variety of diverse looks."

For the Golden Globes, Alba showed off her sun-kissed complexion in a peach Oscar de la Renta mermaid gown and a brilliant lip shade. Her makeup artist, Lauren Andersen told us, "The dress was the inspiration, I loved the contrast between her glowing skin and the matte orange lip. It's an almost tropical shade that's not an exact match for the dress but close." Andersen chose Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Riviera.
