Hair Evolution: Léa Seydoux

When you think hair chameleon, we bet Katy Perry, Rihanna and Lady Gaga immediately pop into your mind. How about French actress Léa Seydoux? This ingénue changes her hair almost monthly, mostly for film roles or for her part as the face of Prada Candy's fragrances. She's been blonde, brunette, short, long, red, with fringe and without, she's even dabbled with blue. Unlike many of the famous hair changers out there, Seydoux's hair offers up realistic, wearable hair inspiration.

Take a look through the gallery for hair inspiration, and pick up the June issue of ELLE (out May 1) to find out which beauty products have made it into Léa Seydoux make-up bag...

The mid-length crop has stayed but the blonde had made way for a mousy brown hue.
