Could this be the most sizzling magazine shoot of the Summer?

Eva Mendes stars in Marie Claire's July issue wearing a bejewelled, curve-enhancing swimsuit paired with fishnets, and that's just for the cover shot. Inside the magazine, Eva's oh-so-sultry shoot sees her pose in crop tops, leather gloves and the ultimate chic Summer staple - cat-eye shades.

In her interview with the magazine, Mendes opens up about her acting idols (Julianne Moore and Annette Bening are her "girl crushes"), marriage, motherhood and her co-star (and rumoured boyfriend) Ryan Gosling.
Speaking about working with Gosling in her upcoming film, The Place Beyond The Pines, Mendes says, "He’s your dream co-star... I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film". Unfortunately, she stops there.

Rachel Bilson
Rachel Bilson was one of the first celebrities to channel the two-tone trend. The stunning actress's long layers went from mahogany to blonde-brown, and finished with a slight - yet body-building - curl. Gorgeous.

Katie Holmes
This might be one of our all-time favourite Katie Holmes hairstyles! From the warm red undertones and high-shine glamour, to the big bouncy curls, we fell head over heels for this look, which she showed off at the Golden Globe Awards in 2010.

Kelly Brook
Curl power! Kelly Brook may well be one of the most glamorous brunettes in our round-up. And she was on sparkling form as ever when she stepped out at the Prince's Trust Rock Gala in 2010 with pumped-up tendrils showing a hint of a reddish glow. Love the matching peachy lips.

At the Rome International Film Festival, Keira Knightley's face-framing mid-brown bob was the perfect colour-match for her deep brown eyes, while the loose kinks worked to soften her beautifully angular features.
