She has a middle part that is less than perfect and no bangs which is reminiscent of the no style styles from the 70's. Her long locks have highlights and lowlights with variations of color from brunette to bleach blonde. The same look that you would get hanging out at the beach in the sun and near salt water. She is wearing an animal print top and jacket in grey and black.

Adam Lambert

The sides are shaved close while the top is left longer and pushed up for height which is vintage 1950's hair fashion for men. Elvis Presley made it popular. Pomade helps to set the strands up in place and keep them there. He adds a bit of interest with an asymmetrical look as he has some tufts slicking up on one side. The bang area has a silvery sheen in the lights. His facial hair is cut close and adds character.
