May is traditionally the month of the biggest event in fashion calendar; the MET Gala. A-listers and the designers that dress them descend on New York for the most haute event of them all, which leads to some spectacular red carpet moments.
Jessica Biel
The actress amped up her style in 2012, adding a particularly on-trend block fringe to her long brunette locks.
Although she's always been a favourite on best-dressed lists, Jessica's hair has previously tended to be more natural and pretty rather than fashion-forward.
All that changed in 2012 - perhaps it was knowing that she had a wedding to plan for - as Jessica unveiled a much more edgy style.
A super-glossy brunette shade makes the perfect complement to this edgy fringe for a style that's sexy, cool and particularly on-trend for the season.
Look to love: Jess unveiled her edgy new style addition at the MET Gala, matching her peeper-sweeping fringe with straight lengths with a hint of natural movement.
Solange Knowles
Beyonce's little sister has been a fashion favourite for years, but this year Solange shot into the style stratosphere as a red carpet regular.
Her natural hair caused some commotion but we think her natural curls make a serious style statement and also make for a refreshing change in a world of perma-straightened hair.
Big, bouncy and full of life, Solange's curls are also the perfection complement to her fashion taste which is fearless, bold and bright.
Look to love: Solange matched her eye-popping yellow ensemble for the MET Gala with larger-than-life bold curls.
Taylor Swift
She's best known for her beautiful ringlets, but this year saw Taylor Swift switch up her style and ditch the curls for a poker-straight style.
Gone is the girly look, replaced with a grown-up sleek style complete with eyebrow-skimming sultry fringe.
Look to love: At the Billboard Music Awards, Taylor showed off her smouldering new style to its best effect with matching smoky eyes and a show-stopping red gown.
