It was just two years ago that Ryder Robinson debuted a shorter, spikier cut.

And now it looks like Kate Hudson‘s growing boy is taking his coif to the next level with a fun rainbow dye job.

On Saturday, the 9-year-old showed off his new ‘do while shopping in Malibu with his grandparents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

We’re digging the pink and blue color combination. If anything, he’s definitely earned a place in the star kids’ cool hairdos hall of fame.

But surprisingly, the out there hairstyle doesn’t really fit Ryder’s more laid-back personality according to his mom.

“[He's] lovely and funny and not at all presumptuous. He’s a really good person. I’m happy about that,” shared Hudson recently.

Now that she’s started a modeling career, it seems Anna Nicole Smith‘s little girl is taking fashion quite seriously.

Dannielynn, 6½, and her dad Larry Birkhead stopped by a lounge at the Kentucky Derby Saturday dressed in iconic looks from the “Jolly Holiday” scene of classic children’s movie, Mary Poppins.

And it seems like it was all her idea. “Thanks Frankie Rodriguez for making the great outfits. Dannielynn wanted to come as this,” Tweeted Birkhead, along with a photo of his daughter’s inspiration.

After a quick search, we were able to find a similar version ($125) on Etsy. And if you’re willing to splurge, there’s a custom mini Bert costume ($350) also available.

Great Ideas! Laila Ali’s Kid-Friendly Oral Hygiene Tips

04/29/2013 at 03:00 PM ET

As a busy mom-of-two, Laila Ali knows all too well how important it is to set aside time to make sure your children are taking care of their teeth — which makes her the perfect spokesperson for the Ad Council’s new children’s oral health campaign.

Currently hosting Everyday Healthairing nationwide on ABC, Ali is also a world-class athlete, fitness & wellness expert, cooking enthusiast and founder of the Laila Ali Lifestyle Brand.

As a champion boxer, I’ve faced some tough opponents: Christy Martin, Mónica Núñez, Jackie Frazier-Lyde. But even I didn’t realize that one of the toughest jobs in my life would also be one of the most rewarding — being a mother to my two children, C.J., 4½, and Sydney, 2.

But one of my biggest parenting challenges is getting my kids to brush their teeth. They squirm. They lose focus. Once, the little one swallowed her toothpaste! It’s no wonder that fewer than half of American parents currently report that their kids brush their teeth twice a day.

Don’t let the frilly dresses fool you — Tiffani Thiessen‘s daughter Harper Renn knows how to get her hands dirty, too.

“Any time this little girl can put on a princess dress, she is all for it,” Thiessen, 39, tells PEOPLE Tuesday at Oscar de la Renta’s “Mommy and Me” Soiree benefiting Baby Buggy.

“What’s so funny is she would wear that outside and pick up snails. She’s a very 50-50 kind of girl. She’s a true Gemini.”

Harper, who turns 3 in June, is in her “independent stage.”

“It’s all about her picking out her clothes, her getting dressed, her wanting to wear what she wants to wear,” says the actress. “It’s all about, ‘What can I do?’”

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
