Ok, ok... I know that the new season of X Factor doesn't premier until next month, but I am too excited about Britney Spears and Demi Lovato coming on as the new judges. Both of these beauties have had their share of hard times in the past several years. We are thrilled to see them both back in the spotlight! And dare we say... they are looking better than ever!

Replacing Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, Demi and Britney will be filling some pretty big (and stylish) shoes. But despite the big personnel shake-ups, these two will have no problem keeping up with their male counterparts. Creator and fellow judge Simon said, "The new panel will be dynamic and will work really well with the changes we are making to the show.”
Demi rocked a beautiful bun at the Texas X-Factor auditions
Demi has come a long way from her early days on Barney (you read that right... BARNEY) and Disney. Throughout her public struggle with depression and anxiety, Demi maintained a level of poise that many celebs can't. She is looking healthier and happier than ever now that she is back in the spotlight.
The combination of ombre and extensions could result in trend overload, but Demi does it just right. They key to wearing multiple trends is to not overstyle. Her long locks make for a mega updo that gives her a fresh youthfulness. I love that she chose bold eye makeup to rev up her sleek bun. If her looks are this flawless for the auditions, imagine how incredible she will look once the show finally premiers!
Brit looking pretty in pink with long curls
Is there anyone better than Britney?! She is the ultimate combination of American sweetheart and underdog. While Britney handled her struggles a little differently than Demi (remember THIS?!) , she still came out on top and everyone loves her for it. I also love that she's rumored to be the "mean" judge! She said, "I couldn't be more excited to join the X Factor judging panel. I'm a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action. Simon and L.A. better watch out!” Very interesting!
Never one to mess with great color, Brit's blonde is bright and beautiful. The length difference between the promotional pictures and the auditions means another set of fab extensions will grace the judges' table. Will she keep the length throughout the season? As long as she doesn't shave it all off again, I think I'll be happy with any of her styles!
Looking right at home at the judges' table
The second season of X Factor premiers on Fox on September 12. Will you be watching? And will you miss Paula?!
For the love of hair and everything Britney,
Melanie
