Week after week, we're inundated with pictures of gorgeous celebrities trying out new beauty trends and hairstyles. This week was no exception, and picking out a top 10 was no mean feat! But when it came down to it, we had to pick which hair and makeup adventures we actually wanted to copy ourselves. And between lovely Lara Bingle's dramatic cat-eye flick, formed to perfection, Jennifer Hawkins' beach-to-bar waves and Frieda Pinto's barely-there lip colour and smoky eye (and more!), we have plenty cool new trends to try. Keen to see them for yourself? Come along!

Sports Stars and Hollywood Hotties Suit Up For the Laureus World Sports Awards

We’re used to seeing Novak Djokovic in his tennis attire, but the world no.

We’re used to seeing Novak Djokovic in his tennis attire, but the world no. 1 was all suited up in a tux for the Laureus World Sports Awards in London last night. His glamorous, supportive girlfriend Jelena Ristic was by his side at the event, where he was honoured as the Laureus sportsman of the year, beating Australian Tour de France winner Cadel Evans. The statuette he received is the latest trophy to add to his growing collection, after he recently took the 2012 Australian Open men’s title. It wasn’t just sports personalities that attended the event — big Hollywood names added their star power, including Clive Owen, Thandie Newton, Chris Hemsworth and his pregnant wife Elsa Pataky. Model Bar Refaeli was also there to provide an extra dose of glamour.

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Glowing at a London Dinner For Coach

Gwyneth Paltrow was radiant in an orange Lanvin dress at a dinner for Coach in London last night.

Gwyneth Paltrow was radiant in an orange Lanvin dress at a dinner for Coach in London last night. She covered up the bright ensemble with a black and white jacket on her way into the event, but the tan she recently picked up in Italy was still on display. Gwyneth travelled to Venice to attend the Contagion premiere at the city's film festival and capped off her trip with a visit to Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z on a nearby yacht. It was back to work for Gwyneth yesterday though, and she mingled with guests, including Thandie Newton, at the Coach soiree. Her ads for the brand were released in July, and the event marked the opening of the company's first European flagship store. Gwyneth's spokesmodel duties kept her away from a Contagion screening in NYC; though, co-stars Matt Damon and Marion Cotillard are on hand to represent the project.

It’s been a busy weekend filled with multiple red carpets, the most recent being the ELLE Style Awards in London last night. Harry Potter’s Emma Watson enjoyed two nights out — she was also at the BAFTAs with co-star Rupert Grint — and picked up the award for Style Icon. The ELLE event was also graced with the presence of a Gossip Girl, with Blake Lively brightening up the red carpet in a blue frock. The blonde beauty, who won Best TV Star, has many fashionable connections and recently secured a coveted campaign with Chanel. Alexa Chung jetted in from New York — where she was enjoying fashion week — to host the awards, and Cheryl Cole accepted the accolade for Best Music in an attention-grabbing red dress. Other stars who frocked up for the event included Thandie Newton, Courtney Love, Helena Christensen and Noomi Rapace, who picked up the Next Breakthrough Talent award.
