Wowza! Have you noticed how many celebs have changed up their hair lately? Mostly colour, but also—in the case of Anne Hathaway—cut. (But maybe that one doesn’t count as much, since it’s for her role in Les Misérables. Can’t wait!)
Olivia Wilde switched up her colour for a role too—she’s now a blonde. But the rest of these celebrity hair chamelons? Well, I think we can all conclude that Katy Perry’s ever-changing hues are most likely a quest to stay relevant. (Although she got extensions too, and I reluctantly approve.) I kinda feel a little weird about Gwyneth Paltrow’s colour as well, since she just hopped on to the Ombré train… but a few years too late. Then there is my girl Emma Stone, who recently re-blondified. She looks good no matter what, so I can’t complain.
Come take a look, and then let me know what YOU think. Keep reading »
So apparently I was wrong when I said that the ELLE Women in Hollywood tribute was supposed to get us through until January’s People’s Choice Awards. I forgot ALL about yet another red carpet event—because who can keep track, really?—called the Hollywood Film Awards. It took place in Beverly Hills on Monday night, and because we love nothing better than to critique celebrities’ hair and makeup, I present the photo evidence to you now.
But first! A word of caution: as far as beauty goes, this was a weird one. Even though some of our favourites were in attendance (Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone), it was only Michelle who earned my beauty seal of approval. Seriously, there were things going on here with makeup and hair that never should’ve happened. (Okay, maybe this is all par for the course for someone who “dates” George Clooney… but frankly? The rest of these celebs know better.) Come and see what I mean… Keep reading »
So you’ve properly prepared (by reading this post) and are touched-up, plucked, bronzed, exfoliated, plumped and painted. Whew! Now it’s time to figure out what the heck you should do with your hair for that wedding coming up.
I have nothing against blow-dry bars in theory—they do provide a fantastic service, after all—and I often think about going to one outside of the times when I’m invited as a member of the media. Except that whenever I let anyone other than this guy style my hair, I tend to walk out happy only about 12 percent of the time. So ungrateful, aren’t I? Well, what can I say—I’m picky. But also, not many people can do a good blow-dry without resorting to the dreaded Mermaid Hair or Anchorwoman Hair or even I Could Have Stayed Home and Did This Myself Hair.
This is why I tend to take the DIY route. And you can too! You just need a little sumpin’-sumpin’ to elevate your usual look and make it a bit more special. So! I found three gorgeous celebs to demonstrate three gorgeous options: a hair-down style, a ponytail and a bun. Here are the deets! Keep reading »
