The celebrities who landed on our best beauty list have taught us a valuable lesson: if you've got a "good side," there's no better way to show it off than with side-swept hair.
"Orange Is the New Black" actress Laura Prepon wears her jet black locks in loose curls, styled off to the side to show off her gorgeous orange makeup. Victoria Beckham keeps it sexy yet sophisticated with a sleek blowout. Meanwhile, Bond girl Naomie Harris continues her winning red carpet style streak, sporting copper-colored waves that cascade along her little white dress.

The actress switched out of her prison garb and into a stunning black and white gown to attend the 25th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York City. Prepon mastered matching orange blush and lipstick to add a pop of color to her monochromatic ensemble. To keep your curls in place without adding stickiness, set your 'do with a product like Arrojo Fierce Firm Hold Hairspray.

Harris simply glows from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. While this beauty look is very neutral, her warm and rich highlights manage to still stand out. Use a simple contour kit like the Iman Cosmetics Contour Trio to add depth and dimension back into your face after applying foundation.

This side-swept hairstyle is all about the volume. The long layers complement Kloss' oval-shaped face beautifully, and we can't help but notice her stunning ear jacket. Try letting your hair air-dry instead of blowdrying it super straight and then using a curling iron to add texture.

We had to do a double-take when we first saw this photo of Beckham at The Global Gift Gala in London, England, as she reminded us a lot of Angelina Jolie with this hairdo. A lightweight hair serum is key to achieving a polished look like Beckham's.

Soo-ah looked angelic in all white at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong. She could have easily appeared washed out, but the right placement of blush solved that common problem. Take a cue from Soo-ah and do an understated hair part to accentuate your side-swept hair.
