No Lob? No Prob. 13 Long Hairstyles from Celebrities With Great Hair

Did you miss out on the whole lob trend? Can’t call yourself a member of the medium hairstyles club? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. While it feels like everyone out there has made the change to shorter locks, there are still some of us that decided to skip the plunge and keep our longer hair. Lucky for you, we’ve gotten together a few of our favorite long hair styles inspired by some of our favorite stars. Scroll on for some major hair envy.

1. Braided Ponytail: Amanda Seyfried rocked a beautiful but intricate look with this French braid/low pony combo. Take some inspiration from the look by creating a braid or two in your hair, or even just one long braid leading into a ponytail. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

2. Side Swept Hair: We love Jessica Biel’s effortless look here. This can easily be copied with the help of a brush, blow dryer and a few bobby pins. There are so many different ways to achieve this style, from leaving your hair loose and to the side to pinning it back in a braid. The possibilities truly are endless!

3. Beachy Waves: Even with summer coming to an end, we’re still game for rocking these beautiful beachy waves. Laverne Cox looks simply stunning with her loose curls, which are so easy for anyone to achieve. In fact, we have a few simple ways of our own for getting those perfect beachy locks.

4. Half Updo: Who needs a bunch of tools and products when you can just put your hair up in an effortlessly chic half updo? It’s as easy as using a hair tie or a few bobby pins to put your hair up and out of your face. Play around with it and add in a braid or two for a totally different look. (Photo via Alberto E.

5. High Ponytail: Beyoncé always looks breathtaking, but we really fell head over heels for this incredibly chic high ponytail she wore to the Met Gala. Worn high and long, with hair wrapped around the hair tie, the style can be easily replicated on your own. Her look included curly hair, but the style can be just as beautiful with straight hair.

6. Center Part: Jessica Chastain looks stunning here with a side part and her hair swept off of her face. This look is incredibly easy to do on your own with some pins and hairspray. While we love the drama of a center part, those with a side part can achieve an equally pretty look and make it their own. (Photo via Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images)

7. Messy Waves: These loose and messy waves look beautiful framing Sofia Vergara’s face. All it takes to achieve them yourself is a curling iron and a great hairspray. Haphazardly curl different pieces of your hair, making sure the curl doesn’t look too perfect. Then let your hair cool and spritz with a bit of hairspray for a wonderfully undone look.

8. Long and Full Bangs: In the mood for a slight change, but don’t want to lose any length? Add some bangs to your look for a bit of a different style. We love the full and long bangs that Daisy Lowe is rocking, which could also be pushed to the side for an awesome side-swept style. (Photo via David M. Bennett/Getty Images)

9. Braided Updo: Let your hair put its (figurative) legs up for the night. Phoebe Tonkin’s braided look puts a fun spin on the typical updo and looks purposefully undone. Talk about a beautiful bohemian style. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

10. Messy Fishtail Braid: Fun, simple and so easy to replicate. Any type of braid will do, but Jennifer Morrison’s messy-yet-perfect hair is on fleek with this style. Luckily for you, we have a few ideas for ways to braid your hair, including steps for a messy fishtail braid. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

11. Brushed Waves: Emma Roberts’ simple loose waves look oh-so soft and put together. These soft waves can be done with a large-barrel curling iron for the ends of your hair. Let the curls cool before taking a brush to your hair to loosen up the waves, and voila! Perfectly soft and natural waves. (Photo via Steve Grantz/Getty Images)

12. Loose Braid: For some “I just woke up like this” hair inspiration, Amy Schumer’s loose and messy braid, with wisps of hair framing her face, is just right. Use some volumizing products to give your hair a bit of a lift, and follow up by doing any braid you like. It shouldn’t look too perfect, so play around with it a bit to give it that “I spent no time at all on this” style. (Photo via Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images)

13. Elegant Ponytail: Effortlessly chic and elegant, Jamie Chung’s low ponytail looks incredible with her hair wrapped around the tie. There are a thousand different ways to make the look your own, but the hair pulled back off of her face is a fun upgrade to an everyday style. (Photo via Kimberly White/Getty Images)

The MCU isn't done with the Multiverse just yet. After Kevin Feige announced Robert Downey Jr. would star as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday at San Diego Comic Con, it appears we'll see another OG Avenger in the movie: Chris Evans! But will he star as Steve Rogers/Captain America or Johnny Storm like he did in Deadpool & Wolverine? (Or Heaven forbid, another Doctor Doom.)

Here's everything we know about Chris Evans' reported return to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday, coming May 1, 2026.

We could see more than one Captain America in 'Avengers: Doomsday.'

Deadline confirmed that Chris Evans would step back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe on December 9, and their sources also say Anthony Mackie will return as Sam Wilson's version of Captain America. Maybe we'll see another Cap vs. Cap battle like we saw in 2019's Avengers: Endgame?

In addition to Chris Evans and RDJ, we'll reportedly also see the Fantastic Four (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Joseph Quinn), and I'm hoping for confirmation we'll be reunited with Tom Holland's Peter Parker, Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan, and Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop.

Avengers: Doomsday is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, so I'm sure it'll have the same magic of the old school Marvel movies we know and love!

Marvel Studios

Some fans were not happy when Endgame ended with Steve Rogers returning the Infinity Stones to their respective timelines and staying in the 1940s to begin a life with Peggy (basically opening up a brand new timeline). His entire arc since Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011 had been about his relationship with Bucky Barnes, and fighting to help a Hydra-brainwashed Bucky return to his true self. Ditching his newfound family for Peggy simply feels like a character regression. But it looks like Doomsday could be a step in fixing that.

"I need Steve and Bucky together again," one Instagram user says. Another points out that Chris' involvement could be "a flashback to get people excited, but I hope it’s Captain Hydra. Give me Bucky fighting Captain Hydra!" Bucky vs. Evil Steve and Peter Parker vs. Doctor Doom would be the craziest plot twist of the century (especially if Doom is really an evil Tony Stark variant)!

Here's what Chris Evans has said about returning to Marvel.

Chris Evans has been vocal in the past about needing a really good reason to return to the MCU, which means Avengers: Doomsday must be one heck of a script! "I would never say never, but I'm very protective of it," Chris said on an episode of the The View in 2023 (via Boston.com). "It's a very precious role to me, so it would have to be just right."

Well call me Goldilocks because the cast and crew on Doomsday (and the story, of course) must have been perfect! Stay tuned for the latest news on Chris Evans and the future of the MCU!

Aging is inevitable, and with it comes all the signs of aging within our skin. A loss of elasticity can result in more fine lines and wrinkles, a longer time spent outside can result in dark-looking sun spots, and a natural decrease in oil production can result in pesky, pesky dryness. Luckily, there’s a serum for that!

These are the best serums for women in their 30s and 40s to combat signs of aging and foster glowy, youthful skin.

Amazon

Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum

If dark spots and uneven skin tone have crept into your skin over the years, this serum tackles it all. It's formulated with a vitamin C alternative called viniferine that's 62 times more effective than vitamin C. Plus, it delivers a lot of moisture using olive squalene.

Promising review: "I have used this product before and I love it. It's a little costly, but it works great in eliminating dark spots, if you use it every day. I'm not a person that's big on smells, but this product has a nice light scent. It works great under makeup. I'm on my third bottle and highly recommend it."

Sephora

Dieux Deliverance Antioxidant & Niacinamide Serum

Dieux's Deliverance serum packs a punch against discoloration using antioxidants, peptides, and 4% niacinamide. It goes on super lightweight and soaks in even faster, which is ideal for layering under other skincare goodies like moisturizer and SPF.

Promising review: "Loving this serum so much! It has a very lightweight and milky texture, that melts into the skin effortlessly. I’ve been using the serum for a few weeks and I can notice my fine lines look smoother and my skin overall looks firmer and more even toned! It also doesn’t clog the pores which I love! It has been my go to nighttime serum, the results are just so good!"

Amazon

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum

This youth-boosting serum is loaded with a fast-acting retinoid, a time-release retinol, and a retinol booster to really target fine lines. Not only will your skin look (and appear!) firmer, its tone will even out and be more hydrated with consistent use.

Promising review: "I have been using Murad products for several years. Some of their products are a little pricey but they work for me! Retinol I use every other night and it does not break me out or dry my face. I am in my mid 60's! Can tell a difference much smoother and lines not nearly as noticeable!"

Fig.1

Fig.1 Retinol Night Cream Level 1

Fig.1's commitment to clinically proven skincare is evident in this retinol-boosted serum. It's perfect for treating and improving fine lines and wrinkles and dark spots, plus it's helpful for clearing up acne-prone skin. The 0.15% encapsulated retinol is designed to release slowly, so you can apply it regularly without feeling irritated.

Promising review: "I have sensitive, dry and cystic-acne prone skin. It sounds like exaggerating to say that this product was the most impactful in calming my cystic acne, but this is the only product that resulted in a 80-85% reduction in cystic acne. I started using it once per week for about a month, then every other day for a month, then 5-6 days a week with one or two rest days with only minimal dryness (i increased moisturizing barriers underneath every other day and this quickly resolved). I have also seen overall improved skin texture and fading of acne scarring. Definitely recommend!"

Amazon

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift 0.3% Pure Retinol Night Serum

This nighttime serum includes 0.3% pure retinol, the "optimal concentration" for results. It calms the skin, too, using hyaluronic acid and glycerin to hydrate. SPF is a must with any retinol product, so make sure to slather it on! This product in particular also comes with a small sample size so you can patch-test it for any irritation before applying it.

Promising review: "I have been trialing for a year now the best quality skin items for wrinkles, fine line and skin care. This is an absolute must! It helps decrease fine lines and dry skin. I have spent hundreds of dollars reviewing and buying skin care products over the year to find the right items for a daily skin care routine!"

Amazon

Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is a powerhouse in combatting dullness and dark spots, and this serum is simply loaded with it. The formula is light and thin, so you only need to use a little bit at a time to cover your entire face. It also boasts hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to simultaneously smooth and hydrate the skin!

Promising review: "I love this product! I have used other Vit C serums and this one spreads more easily and does not irritate my face. I like the applicator because not too much comes out at one time so you don't waste any of it. I put about 4 drops in my hands and spread it out on my face. The only thing to be careful about is not to get it close to your eyes because it will burn. Otherwise, it has lightened and evened out my 67 year old skin. Will buy again."

Amazon

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum

Hyaluronic acid should be your go-to if dryness is your main skincare concern. This formula is created with several different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to deeply penetrate the skin as well as leave a nice, dewy layer on top of it. Use it in conjunction with a good moisturizer, and you'll notice that your skin will be loads more hydrated!

Promising review: "Just purchased another 2 pack of the serum. I have been on a mission to find the best affordable skincare for many years, and so far this is the first hyaluronic serum I've been overjoyed with and purchased again. It does not take a whole lot to get a good coverage and my face ends up feeling soft and smooth all day after applying. Other ones I've tried would not moisturize that well for that long and I felt like I had to use a lot of product to get anywhere near the results I wanted."

Drunk Elephant

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum

This gentle exfoliating serum includes both AHAs and BHAs, which help improve the look of pores, blemishes, and fine lines. With aging skin, it's important to opt for chemical exfoliants like this rather than skin-damaging methods of physical exfoliation which can further perpetuate uneven tone and texture and fine lines.

Promising review: "This serum is a staple in my routine. It brightens my skin tone and smooths out any texture issues I might have. It's never irritating. It goes on a bit sticky if applied alone, but give it a minute to sink in and dry and the sticky texture goes away. Great staple acid serum."

Ulta

Pacifica Vegan Collagen Complex Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

Since we produce less natural collagen as we age, it can be uber-important to supplement the skin with it in order to boost its overall hydration and retention capabilities. This 100% vegan formula also packs in hyaluronic acid, floral extracts, and Japanese camellia oil to further hydrate and soothe your complexion.

Promising review: "I've been using this serum for a while now and iI can really tell a difference when I sit using it for a bit. I try to stay on top of ordering it so I don't run out! It's so lightweight and absorbs well. I love how firm and even toned my skin looks because of it. I get compliments on my complexion and I know it's because of this serum."

Mutha

Mutha Hyaluronic Serum

This "skin barrier-loving" serum may be notably lightweight and oil-free, but it delivers intense results in terms of hydration. It includes 4 different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to ensure your skin is hydrated, inside and out. It also features anti-inflammatory aloe vera and botanical extracts and ferments that protect the skin's natural barrier.

Promising review: "I am in my mid-40s and want to do what I can to prevent the signs of aging, so I've been looking for a good Hyaluronic serum. This one by Mutha is exactly what I needed! It is gentle and soothing, absorbs easily with no greasiness, is unscented and not at all irritating to my skin. It works well under makeup and with the rest of my skincare routine. A little goes a long way so one bottle will last a long time. I just wish I had this sooner!"

It's official: Blue Ivy looks totally grown up now — especially in her gorgeous gold gown at the Mufasa: The Lion Kingpremiere. It honestly feels like just yesterday that Beyoncé announced she was born, and now she's a star in her own right! She celebrated her Disney film debut with her family by her side on the red carpet (and everyone looking as gorgeous as ever).

While Jay-Z was one of the latest celebrities caught in the crosshairs of P. Diddy allegations, it didn't stop mom and dad from showing their unwavering support. The family put on a united front, smiling for the cameras and praising Blue's work on her latest Disney film, further proving that they're in this together. Here's everything we know!

Details about the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Amazing Support Of Blue Ivy's Role In 'Mufasa'

Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Disney

Blue Ivy stars in Mufasa: The Lion King as Kiara with Beyoncé voicing Nala again. The highly anticipated film will show Mufasa's origins from a young cub to the majestic king we've come to know, love, and mourn.

In this cute BTS clip, Beyoncé and Blue are initially shown in separate recording booths while the latter says, "Don't stare at me." It's a typical response all kids eventually give their parents, but it doesn't bother Beyoncé. She simply smiles and says, "I can't help it. You're just too beautiful girl." Still, she offers a bit of reassurance to Blue. "I'mma be right here closing my eyes."

Blue briefly talked about what it feels like to work on a movie by saying, "If I like told my younger self that I was in a movie, I'd like never believe myself."

The star couldn't help but tear up as she continued to watch Blue and said, "Give me a second. I'm still...just can't believe that's my baby." While sitting side by Blue, Beyoncé eventually turns to look at her to let her know she's "so proud of her." Even Rumi, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's youngest daughter, makes a quick appearance!

The Mufasa: The Lion King premiere occurred December 9 with Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and grandma Tina Knowles standing by Blue Ivy's side. They looked stunning on the red carpet as they wore coordinating outfits. Although the ladies seemed to be present and excited, Jay-Z temporarily looked distracted while all of them were standing together (via PEOPLE).

If we had to guess, it may have something to do with the recent allegations connecting he and P. Diddy weighing on his mind. After the accusation went public, Jay-Z penned his own public statement and shared it to Roc Nations' social channels. The most heartbreaking aspect of it is realizing his children will be able to see everything.

"My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people," he wrote (via X). Only time will tell how everything pans out, but we hope this doesn't overshadow Blue Ivy's success, nor do we want to see people vilify her or her siblings for alleged misdeeds of Jay-Z.

At the end of the day, we're so proud of Blue for letting her light shine bright despite everything else!
