At the world premiere of "Nancy Drew" in 2007, Rachael Leigh Cook showed up with her long hair blowing in the breeze.

Her hair was cut well past her shoulders, with the ends layered for a soft, grown-out feel. Medium-length side bangs added interest and helped frame Cook's face. The haircut was nice and simple, complementing her straight-textured strands perfectly.

What we love most about Rachael's hairstyle is the fantastic hair color. Her locks appeared to be kissed by the sun in the most beautiful way. Adding tons of subtle highlights throughout her hair created this glowing color. The result was a blended and extremely natural look. The color looked amazing with her light brown eyes.

Leaving longer hair down is always a good idea with a strapless dress, especially if you don't plan to fill in the gap with a necklace. Though we're not sure if her printed strapless dress was the most flattering.

We do agree that she was trying to be youthful and fun, and definitely not take herself too seriously. Her overall look was very easy-going and carefree—a look that suits everyone.
