The Oscars red carpet may get more press, but it’s the Met Ball one that actually REALLY matters. I’m talking about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala benefit, which took place in New York on Monday night. Vogue EIC Anna Wintour holds court over the festivities, and it’s a big freakin’ deal. The attendees include all the celebs who go to the Oscars, plus supermodels, plus designers, plus assorted rich people… and that, my friends, adds up to a whole lotta photos for me to parse.
But I’m ready now—ready to show you the best beauty looks, and ready to talk about eight hair and makeup themes that were apparent. Pay attention, because like I said, this is THE red carpet that matters. Keep reading »
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 »
Maybe it was Billy Crystal. Maybe it was the Cirque de Soleil interlude. Or maybe it just that I settled in to watch the Oscars straight after OD’ing on cupcakes at a four-year-old’s birthday party. Whatever it was, last night made me verrry, verrry sleepy. Seriously, it’s a problem when the main show highlights are J.Lo’s nip-slip (follow on Twitter: @JLosNipple) and Angelina’s leg (@AngiesRightLeg).
Thankfully, there was plenty of exciting beauty action on the pre-game red carpet, so I didn’t feel guilty bailing on the dullsville show itself. (Okay, there was fashion action too, but I don’t pretend to know anything about that… so remember that I’m only talking about hair and makeup here!)
So let me tell you what I thought, and you can tell me what YOU thought, and together we’ll judge everyone. Whee! Keep reading »
