Ke$ha’s AMA Hair Is Mermaid-Girl Perfection

We hadn't predicted that Ke$ha would have our favorite beauty look from the American Music Awards, but just like that, she's making us wonder why we don't have two-toned pastel hair already. Though we've seen Ke$ha flirt with pinks and turquoises before — just a week ago, she was Instagramming shots of her latest dye job — never have we seen her hair look so lovely. The slight wave, the nuanced cotton-candy hues, and even the roots add up to mermaid-girl perfection.

Ke$ha's hair alone is gorgeous, but she's nailed the rest of the look, too. We're also digging the eye makeup, an unexpected combination of icy silver and metallic pink. (For the latter, we'd use CK One eyeshadow in Muse — it's a not-quite-copper, not-quite red shade that works well for blue eyes.) Toss in a textured, glittery manicure and it's almost too much of a good thing. Almost.
