This spring season, we’re seeing sizzling new ways to spice up your life with ombre. Óle! Inspired by the 60’s, 70’s,and 80’s ombre is the fad of dissolving shades from one side of the spectrum to the other. You probably already adore the ombre fad, but guess what? For spring, this retro trend gets a modern makeover, so whip out your notebooks, ladies, because you’ll want to update your spring style list!
Where some celebs are sporting major ombre-in-your-face hairstyles like Dakota Fanning’s pink dip-dyed ends, Rachel Bilson shows that an understated ombre hairstyle, such as her beach waves that fade from dark-to-light, is just as hip. And, let’s not forget to mention that ombre can show up in one’s wardrobe as well! Below, we’ve listed 10 celebrities who are flaunting their ombre hairstyles and ombre wardrobes. Leave a comment below with your ombre thoughts and tweet us @nubry with pictures of your ombre-tude (get it? ombre attitude?!).

I’m trying to figure out how I can make the pink hair work in a corporate environment. Safe to say NO ONE has anything beyond the norm going on here, but even if it was just the subtlest of highlights, I’d really like to try something different! Thanks for the ideas!

I didn’t! I still can’t figure out a way to make colorful hair corporate friendly. I’m so sorry about your experience – but thank you for sharing it!

I think the safest approach to ombre is going w/ somewhat of a natural color. Blondes should ombre blonder and browns should ombre blonde or reddish/blonde tips…The crazy colors are just not a surefire success…as I discovered.!
