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 »

Raise your hand if you can’t believe it’s already February! We’re almost a month and a half into 2012, you guys! For me, a new year means one thing: new resolutions, and trying my best to stick to ‘em! Michelle made hers—did you? I kicked off last month with a massive list of ways to make my life better—and I’ll be the first to admit, some were easier to write down than to actually follow through with.
My number one resolution, however—the one I’m totally committed to and am DEF going to make happen? Drink. More. Water. Now, I know I’ve told you in the past that I try to drink lots of it—it was one of my beauty tips back when you first met me—and I do try, but for some reason, getting those 8-10 glasses (some say 11-12) in EVERY DAY is something I’m awesome at for a week… and then I slowly start to regress. It’s sad, really. Because water is super important for our bods. Not to mention our skin, energy levels, detoxification and digestion. I know it. You know it. Now why can’t we just DO it?
If you’re in the habit of reaching for a Diet Coke or a coffee instead of a glass of H2O, read on. Or, if you’re simply like me and need some motivation, I’ve got you covered. We’re in this together! Keep reading »
Here we go! It’s your GG beauty coverage—and my goodness, there are a lot of celebs to view and discuss! (Um, 25, to be exact.)
My overall observation? There was a lot more experimentation going on with the hair than the makeup. And of course, as is the case with every awards show, a whole bunch of celebs stuck with the can’t-go-wrong updo and nude makeup combo. It’s boring for beauty editors, but it works.
Shall we do something different this time and start with my least favourite looks first? (You know, the automatic ABORT ABORT ABORTs.) Then, we’ll talk about the mushy middle, and finally get to my favourites of the night. Let’s dig in! Keep reading »
