Take a look at Allison Janney's cute haircut! The "West Wing" actress stepped out to attend the 18th Annual American Cinematheque Gala honoring Nicole Kidman.

This medium-length shag is super young and fresh, making it a great choice for a woman aged over 40. The length falls an inch above the shoulder line and has a fun shattered line to it, with strands textured to give a shaggy effect.

Lots of layers give the haircut even more jagged edges and shape. Allison's hair texture is silky and fine, and it looks thicker and fuller with lots of layers. A deep side part and long side bangs sweep over her right eye, adding some mystery. Allison's strands are blown out smooth and straight.

We love the touchable softness this hairstyle has. It's not stuffy and has lots of movement. It looks so soft and shiny that you just want to run your hands through it! It's a fun and flirty haircut.

Janney is sporting a light brown shade with golden undertones. The color is just the right level that gives it a sandy-like feel. It's dark enough to have depth yet doesn't wash her out. A lighter shade might have been too pale for her skin tone.

We love how Allison makes this laid-back shag hairstyle glam up with diamond drop earrings and a beautiful black dress. Mixing fancy and casual elements together is definitely her staple.
