And we’re not talkin’ a little bit of shimmer and sparkle, either — we mean the trippy holographic colors of the late ’90s and early aughts, à la Lisa Frank backpacks and Limited Too raincoats. And now, the same shine is infiltrating your beauty products, and we’re kind of (read: totally) in love.
For all of us who love holographic prints but can’t exactly commit to shiny, multi-colored platform sneakers, this infiltration is pretty excellent news. Because now, it means you can now get your throwback jollies through chromatic highlighters, shimmering makeup bags, iridescent moisturizers, and much, much more.

The people may have spoken, but it was the red-carpet fashion that made major noise at this star-studded show.
PIC: The 40 Hottest Looks From the 74th Golden Globe Awards
The 2017 People’s Choice Awards took place Wednesday night in Los Angeles, and while the ceremony was all about celebrating the finest entertainers in film, TV, music, comedy and pop culture, their couture was much more prominent on the red carpet — and it deserved our thumbs up.
From sparkly metallics, bold blooming florals, and glamorous sheer ensembles that showcased Hollywood's most statuesque figures, there was plenty of style to be seen before the televised event took off. And fortunately for viewers, there more hits than misses.

The Golden Globes are so over — right now, it’s all about the Image Maker Awards.
PHOTOS: The 40 Hottest Looks From the 2017 Golden Globes
Hosted by Marie Claire, Tuesday night's Image Maker Awards in West Hollywood celebrated the achievements of makeup artists, hairstylists, and other background players who work hard to make sure Hollywood's finest stars look their best for the cameras — and, as expected, there was no shortage of celebrities strutting their stuff on the red carpet.
Paving the way for the festivities was reality TV star Kylie Jenner, who made sure to steal the spotlight in a royal purple ensemble that exposed her abs, thighs and derriere, because clearly, the 19-year-old couldn’t make up her mind.
However, the makeup mogul wasn’t the only one making heads turn throughout the evening. Veteran supermodel Cindy Crawford flaunted her runway-ready figure (and never-ending legs) in a little black dress, and Disney Channel actress Dove Cameron proudly displayed her curves in a fringey, leathery frock.

One royal is definitely getting into the holiday spirit these days.
READ: Kate Middleton Commits Fashion Faux Pas
Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, who never fails to stir headlines with her often recycled ensembles, has debuted yet another head-turning look in London, this time at a Christmas party for youth charity The Mix on Monday.
The 34-year-old mother of Prince George, 3, and Princess Charlotte. 1, wore a knee-length silk jacquard dress by Argentina-born French fashion designer Vanessa Seward. The dress highlighted Christmas-inspired hues of red and green with its vibrant floral print, and was cinched at the waist with a thin black belt featuring a wide golden buckle, which conjured up images of Santa's classic ensemble, albeit much more chic. (Yeah, we went there.)
She completed the outfit with simple black pumps, a matching clutch, and of course, her envy-worthy blowout.

While the gown goes for a whopping $623 at Net-A-Porter, it’s already sold out. However, fashionistas everywhere can still take inspiration from Middleton's festive frock before their next holiday parties.

It’s official: Awards season has kicked off with a major bang.
In the months before the Academy Awards, there's always a parade of non-stop ceremonies honoring the finest in entertainment. But more importantly, those ceremonies give fans a sneak peek at the potential fashion hits and misses they’ll see on the big night. Paving the way was the 22nd annual Critics’ Choice Awards, which took place on Sunday night in Santa Monica. And just as expected, there were plenty of jaw-dropping looks for audiences to ooh and ahh over.

Interestingly enough, several ‘90s starlets proudly made their mark on the red carpet. Anna Chlumsky, formerly of "My Girl" (1991) and its sequel (1994), stunned viewers ing a body-hugging red dress that enhanced her never-ending curves. There was also Cynthia Nixon of "Sex and the City" fame, who apparently got the same memo as Chlumsky and wore a crimson-hued satin gown that would've easily outshined Carrie Bradshaw. We also can't forget Jessica Biel of "7th Heaven," who flaunted her post-baby body with a sophisticated take on a tie-dye gown complete with a daring v-neck. And finally, there was Mandy Moore, who rocked a dangerously low-cut navy dress.

But the night wasn’t just one big throwback. "Edge of Seventeen" actress Hailee Steinfeld garnered much of the attention thanks to a strapless floral gown that perfectly enhanced her tiny waist.

Sorry fellas — the Men of the Year party was all about the ladies.
WATCH: Why Kyra Santoro Planned to Buy Every Copy of the Swimsuit Issue
Things got pretty heated at last week's 2016 GQ Men of the Year Party held at the famed Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Many of Hollywood’s leading men were celebrated for their headlining contributions to film and pop culture, but it was the stunning sirens in attendance who really made heads turn on the red carpet.
From Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models to chart-topping singers, several shining stars hit the red carpet in their finest couture, including Carl’s Jr. and GUESS model Kara Del Toro, made sure to steal the spotlight in a fantastically low-cut frock which gave a whole new meaning to the term "little black dress" (above).
However, what truly shocks us about the titillating Texan was something she once said about her infamous Carl's Jr. commercial — namely, that her diet really does consists of burgers.
“I should be better, but I kinda eat whatever I want,” Del Toro previously told us in an exclusive video interview (below). "I do eat burgers and pizza," she says:
Like the rest of us mere mortals, however, Del Toro admitted that she does exercise quite a bit, which helps to explain how she fits into those bikinis after gorging on those juicy cheeseburgers and loaded pizzas
"If I have a swimsuit shoot or something coming up, I make sure to start working out more," said Del Toro. "I do yoga, I go hiking. And if I have something important coming up that week, I’ll really try to cut down on sugar and carbs," she added.

It looks like we need to add some more half-moon poses into our yoga routines if we ever want to look half as good as Del Toro at a glitzy affair like the GQ Awards.
To see what we mean, check out Del Toro at the GQ Men of the Year bash, along with 14 other starlets who also dressed to impress:
Think holiday hair is just sparkles and not much else? Guess again.
READ: Anthony Pazos Reveals 6 Ways to Tame Frizz
We’re about to embark on the season of non-stop parties and get-togethers with loved ones — it's just too bad we'll be doing it during the bone-freezing months of winter. Between fighting the brisk winds, combating hat hair, and immersing ourselves in a sea of hairspray so that every single strand stays in place for that swanky soiree, our tresses haven't been looking so hot lately.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. This is the season of giving after all, so why not give your hair some love?
Celebrity hairstylist Anthony Pazos knows a thing or two about glamorous hair transformations for special occasions. He’s worked with stars like Beyonce, the Kardashians, and boy band One Direction, just to name a few. And while his clientele just so happens to include some of the top celebs in Hollywood, he believes that anyone can achieve red carpet-worthy hair for the holiday season with just a few simple tricks and tips.

The Hollywood bombshell who once had the perfect pixie cut is showing off a whole new look — and it’s one that’s set to take over in 2017.
READ: The Lob — Hollywood's Hottest Haircut
Halle Berry attended Revlon’s 2nd Annual "Love Is On" Million Dollar Challenge at the New York City's Glasshouses late last week, but it wasn’t the fact that she was wearing a sleeveless shimmery dress on a chilly evening that made us do a double take. Rather, the 50-year-old actress was rocking her caramel-hued tresses in a lob — also known as the shoulder-sweeping haircut that every star needed to have since 2013 — but she completely elevated it with a face-framing fringe.
Sure, getting bangs give off a more youthful appearance isn’t a new concept, but celebrity stylists are already insisting that this cut will be the latest in-demand trend, especially in the New Year.
"I’ve been telling everybody to get out of your lob," says celebrity stylist Jen Atkin (via E! News), who has worked on the manes of Gwen Stefani, the Kardashians, Cindy Crawford and Christina Hendricks, just to name a few.
"Cut a good fringe and start wearing your hair kind of messy and just blow-dry the fringe," adds Atkin. "Ask your hairstylist what suits your face shape, but I think a good heavy bang is so cool. It just kind of takes your mind off of the lob that’s growing out.”

Not only is Berry’s latest hairstyle simple and low-maintenance, but it’s effortlessly chic and can be rocked day and night with minimal effort. Best of all, bangs (especially when they're cut by an expert) will enhance your best facial features, providing a more youthful appearance. It’s no wonder South Beach-based stylist Danny Jelaca (who works with supermodels such as Naomi Campbell) called a good fringe an "instant face lift" and "eye opener."
"It’s a great solution to hide an imperfect hairline, wide forehead, or scar," added Jelaca. "It can also help balance non-symmetrical features. They help frame the face, like eyebrows do. They can also soften hard or weathered features."
