"I felt more solemn as a brunette," Bosworth told InStyle of dying her mane chestnut for her role in Wonderland. "It doesn't make sense, but I don't take things as seriously when I am a blonde."

She wore retro pin curls for the Costume Institute Gala. "This style looked incredibly graphic and chic in the '30s, and it's just as modern today," said her stylist for the evening, Franco Gobbi.

Bosworth's dress for the premiere of Life Happens inspired makeup artist Kate Lee to create her fresh-faced look. "The soft, lemon yellow silk chiffon, and matching crystals made Kate and I think that a raspberry bitten lip was a great color pairing," she told InStyle.com. "And Kate's bi-color eyes are always an inspiration to me."

Bosworth went ombre for her role in Homefront. "I kept it pretty laid-back for this last role," she told InStyle.com. "They added paint and darker roots to my hair, so this is my natural color at the top that was painted a little darker." And she did mean painted: "It's literal paint. They'll take alcohol and use it with the paint, and it stays on."

"Kate was wearing a gorgeous Calvin Klein ensemble that pulled various warm neutrals together, and I wanted the makeup to do the same," said makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan of the star's look at the Sundance premiere of Big Sur. "Even though her lips are intense, they don't compete with the rest of her look since the colors are all in the same family."

To compliment her signature red lip, Bosworth often brushed her locks to one side to channel Old Hollywood-inspired waves.
