Drew Barrymore, January 2009
Drew Barrymore's locks have vacillated between shades of honey, caramel, and sunny blond, but this is the first time we're seeing her with an all-out platinum 'do. Her hair looks full and funky swept up in a punky updo, which is a huge tress trend for spring.

The Internets are abuzz over two new pix of Angelina Jolie in costume for her role as spy Evelyn A. Salt, in the new action movie which started filming today.

The film was originally intended as a Tom Cruise vehicle, "Edwin A. Salt". When Cruise dropped out, they decided to rework the script to turn the hero into a heroine, including giving her a gender appropriate name.

The leaked photos show two very different looks for Angie -- a soft, pretty blond, and a more dangerous, sultry brunette. We don't yet know which one of these, if either, is the "real" Evelyn A. Salt, which we understand will be a central plot point in the film.

What we're really curious about is whether these are the same wigs designed for Tom Cruise, or if they had to rework those, too.

With her 34th major film, The Changeling, hitting theaters this week Stylelist took a look back at the female half of Brangelina's style.

In 1986 legendary actor Jon Voight walked the red carpet at the 58th Annual Academy Awards with his unknown 10-year-old daughter Angelia Jolie Voight. If Jolie had realized all that white lace would haunt her forever she may have picked a more subtle dress!

A practitioner of method acting, Jolie was back in a dark place for her breakout role in 1999's Girl Interrupted. The disturbing intensity she brought to the part carried on to the red carpet for the film's L.A. premiere.

At 24-years-old Jolie had two Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and in 2000 she added an Oscar to her trophy list. Unfortunately her Elvira-like outfit and a proclamation of love for her brother garnered even more attention than her achievement.
