1. Emma Stone Medium Hairstyle: Blonde with blunt bangs

Actress Emma Stone looks stunning with her mid-length blonde hair and blunt bangs. This simple hairdo is given a touch of glamour by subtle caramel and platinum streaks.

Australian model and Victoria’s Secret angel Miranda Kerr makes the most of her chocolate-brown locks by wearing her hair in luscious, heavy waves.

3. Taylor Swift Medium Hairstyle: Blunt bangs and soft curls

Country singer Taylor Swift wears her gorgeous honey-blonde hair loose, with chunky blunt bangs that accentuate her eyes. She completes the look with super-smooth hair and a slight curl at the ends.

 4. Kim Kardashian Medium Hairstyle: Messy plait with regal braid

Take inspiration from reality-star Kim Kardashian and wear your medium-length hair in a messy Grecian plait. This look is fresh and playful, and you can add an extra braid on top to give this ‘do a royal flair. We think Kim looks just like a Greek princess with this pretty medium hairstyle.

 5. Rihanna Medium Hairstyle: Long grey curls

Grey isn’t usually our first choice when picking  a brand new hair colour, but songstress Rihanna shows us that it can look pretty awesome indeed. She wears her hair in big black curls with grey ombre (a gradual change in colour or shade from dark to light), and accessorizes with metallic lipstick and gold jewelry. If you’re worried about looking older with grey hair, add a little lavender to brighten it up. We can definitely see grey being a hot, edgy hair colour for 2014.

 6. Blake Lively Medium Hairstyle: Playful ponytail 

Gossip Girl actress and fashionista Blake Lively looks effortlessly fresh-faced with her playful blonde ponytail. Her hair is tousled and textured, and her face is framed by a few wispy flyaway hairs. A perfect casual hairstyle, this slightly messy ponytail suits almost every face – be creative and tweak it to suit your own personal style.

 7. Jessica Alba Medium Hairstyle: Glamorous ombre curls

We are so envious of actress Jessica Alba’s elaborately curled shoulder-length hairdo. With a deep side parting and dramatic ombre ends, this medium hairstyle is  simply perfect. You may have to spend a considerable amount of time styling your hair to achieve this ‘do, but we think it’s totally worth it.

 8. Selena Gomez Medium Hairstyle: Classy, voluminous ponytail

Singer Selena Gomez looks classy and professional with her high, voluminous ponytail. This look is achieved by teasing medium-to long hair before pulling it back and securing it in a high ponytail. Once you’ve got the look, a few spritzes of maximum hold hairspray should keep your perfectly coiffed hair in place all day.

 9. Jennifer Aniston Medium Hairstyle: Soft, straight layers

Actress Jennifer Aniston never disappoints when it comes to her classic, girl-next-door hairstyles. Here she shows off a medium hairstyle with glossy, straight layers and a side parting.

 10. Kristen Stewart Medium Hairstyle: Sexy side-parting

Sultry Twilight actress Kristen Stewart oozes sex appeal with a dramatic side parting and long, flowing curls.

11. Scarlett Johannson Medium Hairstyle: Cute coiffed ‘do

Actress Scarlett Johansson looks like a real Southern belle with this cute coiffed hairdo. This medium hairstyle is feminine and pretty with a bubble fringe and soft, glossy curls. Scarlett finishes off her fresh-faced look with minimal makeup and a radiant smile.

 12. Rita Ora Medium Hairstyle: Small, thick plait 

British singer Rita Ora mixes it up with an adorable blonde plait and bright pink lipstick. She’s not afraid to let her roots show, and they form a striking contrast with her dyed blonde hair. This medium hairstyle is great for thick hair, and we think it’s a lovely everyday ‘do.

 13. Jessica Chastain Medium Hairstyle: Wavy red locks

Actress Jessica Chastain looks fresh and radiant with her loose, wavy red locks. This medium hairstyle is classy and easy to maintain with some good quality hair products. Look for an anti-frizz serum, and a hair conditioner that enhances shine, to keep your ‘do sleek and polished.

 14. Ashley Greene Medium Hairstyle: Sexy layered hairdo

We absolutely love Twilight actress Ashley Greene’s hair colour! Here she wears her rich and shiny chocolate-brown hair loose with layers and a middle parting. The middle parting is very flattering for her diamond-shaped face, as it softens the angles of her jaw.

 

15. Emma Stone Medium Hairstyle: Curled with side-swept bangs

We absolutely love actress Emma Stone as a redhead! Here she shows off her beautiful medium hairstyle with copper-hued curls and side-swept bangs. This is a particularly great hairstyle for autumn (fall) 2014, with its warm colours and soft curls.

16. Diane Kruger Medium Hairstyle: Deep-parted waves

Actress Diane Kruger tries out a more edgy medium hairstyle with a dramatic side parting and long, tousled waves. This hairstyle sweeps hair out of her face and draws attention to her facial features – definitely not a style for wallflowers!

17. Zooey Deschanel Medium Hairstyle: Bouncy curls with bangs

“Adorkable” actress Zooey Deschanel wears a head of dreamy, bouncy curls and her signature bangs on the red carpet. This medium hairstyle requires a lot of heat styling to get such voluminous curls, so be prepared to spend some time with your curling iron. Finally, the length of your bangs will depend on your face shape – consult with your stylist.

18. Jennifer Aniston Medium Hairstyle: Messy layers

Jennifer Aniston keeps it casual with this messy medium hairstyle. She sports unruly layers and a small hair-clip to secure her side-parting.

22. Vanessa Hudgens Medium Hairstyle: Tousled, curly side-plait

Singer and actress Vanessa Hudgens looks ‘too cool for school’ with this tousled, curly side-plait. If you have curly hair like Vanessa, don’t be afraid to plait your hair – it can look great as a slightly deconstructed (messy) side-plait. If you like, let a few strands loose to frame your face.

23. Sarah Michelle Gellar Medium Hairstyle: Half up, half down ‘do

Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress Sarah Michelle Gellar is bang on trend with her half up, half down medium hairdo. This medium hairstyle is pretty and feminine, and easy to recreate yourself. Twist side-parted hair into a semi-plait, and leave the back loose for a classic half up, half down ‘do.

Lady Gaga shows off her hair bow as part of her platinum blonde medium hairstyle, complete with subtle lavender streaks.

28. Kerry Washington Medium Hairstyle: Sleek and shiny 

Actress Kerry Washington keeps her medium length hair sleek and shiny, with delicate curls at the end. Get this look by blow-drying your hair out straight, and then using a curling wand on the ends. Kerry’s curls look lovely with her two-tone hair colour, making her look interesting as well as glamorous.

29. Jessica Biel Medium Hairstyle: Loose with long bangs

Actress Jessica Biel wears her medium length hair loose with long, chunky bangs. She keeps her hair colour natural, with a few carefully placed highlights that brighten up her face. This medium hairstyle works best with straight hair, but it’s possible to tame your bangs with a hair straightener.

30. Kaley Cuoco Medium Hairstyle: Half up, half-down with long bangs

 31. Kim Kardashian Medium Hairstyle: Poker-straight with bangs

New mother Kim Kardashian looks stunning with her glossy, poker-straight black hair. Her bangs skim her eyes, creating a sultry and mysterious look.

 32. Kirsten Dunst Medium Hairstyle: Retro headband

It seems that headbands are back in fashion! Actress Kirsten Dunst pulls off the girl-next-door look perfectly with her cute and practical medium hairstyle.

 33. Cara Delevingne Medium Hairstyle: Loose with deep middle-parting

Supermodel Cara Delevigne is effortlessly beautiful with her simple medium hairstyle. This ‘do is kept loose and worn with a deep middle-parting so that the face is neatly framed.  For a more interesting ‘do, mix it up with subtle layers and dip-dyed ends like Cara.

 34. Diane Kruger Medium Hairstyle: Pretty in punk

Dianne Kruger transformed herself into a punk princess for the Met Gala this year. This medium hairstyle is super-easy to recreate – secure hair at the nape of your neck in a low ponytail, and add some (non-permanent) pink streaks to the ends. Dianne contrasts her simple hairdo with an elaborate ear cuff – a great accessory for edgy hairstyles.

35. Olivia Wilde Medium Hairstyle: Deep side parting

We think medium hairstyles with asymmetrical, deep side-partings are going to be very popular in 2014. With the likes of Rihanna, Jessica Alba, Kristen Stewart, and Olivia Wilde rocking this trend, there are many A-list variations to choose from. Olivia keeps it simple with a sweeping side-parting and subtle curls.

36. Jennifer Lawrence Medium Hairstyle: Feathered low ponytail

Another predicted hot medium hair trend for 2014 – the low ponytail, with plenty of layers. Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence looks sultry and mysterious with her long bangs obscuring her face. Feel free to wear your ponytail slightly messy, with plenty of layers sticking out.

37. Thandie Newton Medium Hairstyle: Perfect middle parting

If you have a round face like actress Thandie Newton, choose a flattering middle-parting over a side-swept fringe for your medium length hair. Thandie looks radiant with her loose, medium hair, and her middle parting subtly elongates her round face. Just a small word of warning – middle partings are not always flattering for longer, more angular faces.

38. Jessica Chastain Medium Hairstyle: Romantic coiffed ‘do

Actress Jessica Chastain turned heads at this year’s Golden Globe Awards with her romantic, coiffed hairstyle. To recreate Jessica’s breathtaking hairstyle, part your hair in the middle and pull hair back, away from your face.

Recreate Kristen’s casual-yet-sexy look by doing your hair in a loose fishtail plait, leaving a few strands to frame your face.

41. Kate Hudson Medium Hairstyle: Layers and more layers

Actress Kate Hudson looks carefree and casual with her wispy layered hair. Layers are possibly the easiest way to update your medium hairstyle, and they look particularly great if you have an angular (square, rectangular) face shape. Make sure that your shortest layer ends just below your chin!

42. Cara Delevingne Medium Hairstyle: Alternative and edgy

Cara Delevingne unleashes her inner punk rocker and shows off a side-parted, half-braided hairdo at this year’s Met Gala. Not your everyday hairstyle, this look takes quite a bit of work – but we think that it would look fantastic at a themed party. For added impact, bulk up your brows with an eyebrow-pencil.

43. Amber Heard Medium Hairstyle: Side-swept curls

Yet another celebrity has nailed the side-swept medium hairstyle: Amber Heard looks stunning with a deep side-parting and subtle curls. The secret to this hairstyle is to keep the hair in place – to do this, create a small french braid from the right to the left side of your head, and pin your swept-back hair to the braid. Spray with hairspray, and let the rest of your hair cascade past your face.

44. Beyonce Medium Hairstyle: Big wavy blow-out

One half of the Olsen twins, Ashley Olsen is known for her off-the-wall style sense. Here she looks oh-so-bohemian with a dramatic middle parting and flowing, glossy locks. A middle parting doesn’t suit every face, however, so experiment with it before you decide on this hairstyle.

51. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Medium Hairstyle: Flawless blowout

We are ridiculously jealous of supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s flawless blowout. This is a great medium hairstyle for finer hair, as it creates volume and lots of movement.

52. Natalie Portman Medium Hairstyle: Ash blonde

We’re not used to seeing actress Natalie Portman with blonde hair, but we have to admit that she does look fantastic with her lighter locks.

54. Claire Danes Medium Hairstyle: Simple, layered hair

Homeland actress Claire Danes keeps it simple with her shoulder-length, layered blonde hair. This medium hairstyle is low maintenance, yet very flattering.
