On the heels of two major Hollywood hair color changes, Carly Rae Jepsen followed Anne Hathway and Demi Lovato’s lead and lightened up her locks. But instead of going blonde, the “Call Me Maybe” singer went red!

“I always wanted to go red!” Jepsen Tweeted on Tuesday along with a flirty photo showing off her rich new shade in a half-up do. (Not to worry, she hasn’t changed up those signature blunt bangs.)

Jepsen’s Instagram followers might remember that she hinted at a big hair color change back in November. After posing with a redheaded fan, she posted a photo of the two of them to Instagram and wrote, “Loving her red hair…. Might have to dye mine someday soon?????!!!!”

Her fans seem glad she decided to do it. She received Tweets like, “im obsesssssed with @carlyraejepsen new red hair!!” and a ton more equally enthusiastic messages.

We want to know what you think: Do you prefer Carly Rae Jepsen as a brunette or are you loving her new red hair?

Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba joins us again to blog about her style (and all the backstage scoop) on the show’s 16th season. This week, she talks about the sexy dress that made her wish she had a date night planned — and sending her jewels flying into the audience.

What an incredible night in the ballroom. The number Derek choreographed based on the late Fred Astaire’s incredible genius was so impressive. It’s exciting to see such innovative choreography, even though the idea was borrowed. It’s a reinvention and that is what happens with art.

What was impressive is that it didn’t feel like a second rate version of a classic. Instead, it felt like a wonderful unique piece of art that will stand the test of time. I haven’t been that impressed since his Paso Doble the night before!

That was just a little reminder to my judging friend Len Goodman … who I still say robbed them of a perfect 30. But I still love him and respect him. We are all there for different reasons, and a little argument here and there never hurt anyone.

We’ve talked fauxhawks. We’ve talked smoky eyes. But we have not yet discussed these three major beauty moments, and it’s about time.

First up: January Jones’s straight-up Black Swan makeup look. From the bleached eyebrows to the dramatic black liner, we hardly recognized our dear Betty Draper — and we kinda liked it. It was bold and brazen, but was it a hit?

PHOTOS: See all the jaw-dropping looks from the Met Gala red carpet!

Also on the daring end of the eyeshadow spectrum, Emily Blunt opted for a bold wash of fuschia shadow that totally played against the conservative vibe of her Carolina Herrera gown. Between that and her fierce Lorraine Schwartz danglers, she embodied the phrase “if looks could kill.” To get the sizzling pink, NARS makeup artist Jenn Streicher got creative, using the line’s “Jardin des Plantes” satin lip pencil topped with Desire powder blush.

And finally, Elizabeth Banks’s long, clipped-up ponytail, which didn’t quite qualify for our fauxhawk roundup, but it was head-turning nonetheless.

Tell us: Whose look did you like most: Jones’s, Blunt’s or Banks’s? Would you try any in your everyday life?
