Psychologists say that you can tell a lot about what’s going on with a person according to their hair colour. Judging by the array of grey-purple shades that Kelly Osbourne sported in 2010, a shrink may conclude that this was a difficult year for Kelly (she broke up with her fiancé Luke Worrall after rumours of his affairs). But we’re pleased to see that Miss O is back to her stylish best with a gorgeous blonde, retro ‘do – who’s sorry now, Luke?
