Joan Smalls, Gina Rodriguez and more: 16 times celebrities made us want to get balayage highlights

Although balayage works with any length or hair type, it's undeniable that wearing it with long, wavy locks is the way to go, and Chrissy Teigen has been one of the great ambassadors of this look.

Ombré highlights are perfect if you have a stunning round face like Selena Gomez . A close cousin of balayage, this technique is much more subtle but brings just as much light to the hair as well as the face.

Rihanna couldn't resist balayage either. Her radiant skin tone really pops thanks to her caramel highlights, XL locks and pronounced waves.

This painstaking coloring –that should be left to the professionals– is well worth it when draped over bare shoulders and back. Look how well it worked out for the gorgeous Sofía Vergara.

Beyoncé also opted for balayage, going for very light large front highlights that brighten up both her hair and face.

Hilary Swank also dazzled with long locks full of light and movement, worn as the perfect complement to her neckline.

Eva Longoria is a goddes.Her look is a real life example of how to get the most out of this technique. Take note of these key points: long, free, and soft curls will put you center stage.

Give your hair volume and life with subtle balayage in gold tones like Lea Michele .

If you're a blonde girl for life, let Margot Robbie be your inspiration. Start with slightly darker roots and accentuate the strokes until the ends to really rock your blond.

If any celeb can rock this style it's Gina Rodríguez , who showed how to wear it with a beach vibe. And the standing ovation goes to...!

Top model Winnie Harlow went for a daring XL Japanese hair straightening look with impressive and pronounced highlights.

Ariana Grande in all Moschino also rocked this timeless hair hue with a high ponytail.

Say goodbye to that one-color look like actress Naomi Harris with subtle highlights at the ends of her eye-catching bob cut .

Joan Smalls wore it perfectly. She complemented her balayage with a polished finish, a layered bob to add movement and shine to her mane.

It's no coincidence that yet another runway star has gone for a bob laden with layers for flaunting a brushed effect. Kaia Gerber has also put movement first with the balayage technique.

Lucy Hale is yet another celebrity who, like Kaia and Joan, has been seen with a flawless balayage look. Remember that the key is movement and for more volume go for a side parting.

Each of these celebs has killed it by adding balayage to their look. Long, mid-length or with a striking bob, any cut is ideal for flaunting the most on trend coloring technique.
