Julia Roberts (51) wears her hair in shoulder-length layers that frame her face. Hairstyle 1: We still like "Pretty Woman" best with casual curls. Even though Julia wore red hair in the cult movie. Styling tip: The look is easy to achieve with a curling iron: Curl from ear height, leaving the ends out.

Hairstyling 2: The sleek look always looks elegant. Especially with a trendy side parting and a slightly tousled top. Styling tip: Apply a smoothing balm to wet hair beforehand, dry completely and then pull strand by strand through a styling iron.

Hairstyling 3: For the sophisticated topknot, several mini buns are twisted at the back of the head and pinned in place. The whole thing doesn't have to be neat, but can look very casual. The front strands also fall loosely into the face. The advantage: the cute look is super youthful.

Cate Blanchett (49 ) wears a versatile lob (long bob). The trendy hairstyle is neck to shoulder-length, is very versatile and really suits every woman. Hairstyle 1: Soft waves in a relaxed beach style are now even suitable for big appearances. Styling tip: Start by curling the hair section by section with a curling iron. Then add a good touch of mattifying salt water spray to the mane and knead it a little with your fingers - this creates the matt effect and the slightly tousled texture. Part the hair to the side, tuck the short side behind the ear and set everything with hairspray.

Hairstyle 2: All styled backwards. Styling tip: Apply a little volumizing mousse to towel-dried hair and leave to dry. Then blow-dry passé by passé using a medium-sized round brush to set the style. Lay into shape and tease with hair wax.

Hairstyling 3: This look exudes Hollywood retro glamor and is perfect for the second day after washing. This is because the hair then has more grip. Styling tip: Wind the entire head of hair onto large-diameter hot rollers. Leave to cool for approx. 15 minutes, shape and spray with shine spray.

Kristen Wiig (45) has a cheeky and very variable short haircut. The sides and nape are cut short, while the hair on the top of her head has a little more length. Hairstyle 1: Cheeky short with extra volume Styling tip: Apply volumizing mousse to towel-dried hair. Leave to dry, then shape and set strand by strand using a round brush and set with hairspray.

Hair styling 2: Don't fancy complicated styling? Then the wet effect is the perfect solution. Styling tip: Create an angled parting, work the gel into the roots - done.

Hair styling 3: Straight but with volume Styling tip: Apply a little volume fluid to damp hair and blow-dry the hair using a paddle brush to make it smooth but not flat. Style the bangs into the forehead and finish by spraying a little hairspray into the roots.

Nazan Eckes (42) wears her brunette hair at shoulder-length. Hair styling 1: All to one side in big waves for an extra dose of glamor. Styling tip: Twist the hair onto hot rollers and release when cool. Carefully comb out and style everything to the right, securing with clips at the nape of the neck.

Hairstyling 2: Knot with XXL bangs Styling tip: gather the hair at the back of the head into a high ponytail and twist into a bun, securing with clips. Let the bangs fall loosely into the forehead.

Hairstyling 3: Mini ponytail Styling tip: Curl your hair, part it to the left and right, gather the hair in the middle at the top of your head into a small plait, secure it with an elastic, pull it up a little and you're done.

Heidi Klum (45) proves how great and versatile long hairstyles can look over 40. She wears her hair in a slightly layered maxi length with high and lowlights. Human hair extensions give even more fullness Hairstyling 1: Half up, half down Styling tip: Add dry shampoo to the hair for more grip. Tease the top of the head, part at ear level and gather, then pluck out the bangs.

Hairstyling 2: Sweet braid Styling tip: part the hair in the middle, part the left side above the ear and braid a ponytail, always adding a new strand and securing it at the back of the head with a clip.

Hair styling 3: Cool backcombed Styling tip: Moisten the top of the head slightly, comb back and apply a little wet gel to the roots with a comb for the trendy wet look. Finish with fixing spray.
