Is it just me or is, like, every celebrity wearing her hair in a bob, or at least a lob (long bob), lately? If I think back to my magazine beauty editor days, I know they both had their moments through the mid- to late-’00s, starting with Katie Holmes and Rihanna going for the chop, and then the whole lob thing started by Gwyneth (who then passed the torch to Olivia Palermo).
I know, it’s hard to keep up. (Although if you recall, I did alert you to this whole development last year.) So what’s changed? Well, it feels like celebs are going even shorter now—as in well above the collarbones, or even above chin-length. And there are certainly more and more of them getting in on the trend. So that makes my beauty Spidey sense start to tingle, and I can’t help but feel the need to discuss this with you guys… in case you’re kindamaybesorta thinking about a hair change. (Disclaimer: I say all of this even though personally, hell would have to freeze over before I cut my hair above shoulder-length.)
Oh! And you know what else really, REALLY convinces me that this bob thing is officially a full-fledged trend? Bachelor Ben. Keep reading »

So… how about that dance number by Jennifer Lopez last night? Woof, girl. (Although I was maybe just slightly uncomfortable with all the stripping and grinding.) But seriously, it’s hard to believe she’s 42 years old. And she’s STILL holding her own against youngins like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
That said, J. Lo’s more likely to stick with a classic look (this time, scraped-back hair with nude makeup and a wonderful peach lip) than push the boundaries with a Katy Perry-style hair colour or Jennifer Hudson-style lipstick. But that’s why this year’s AMAs were a pleasing mix of beauty looks: there was the experimental, the classic and the just plain gorgeous. Let’s review! Keep reading »
We all know awards season in Hollywood runs January through March—but is it really realistic to expect celebs to go the rest of the year without celebrating themselves? Of course not, which is why ELLE magazine is only too happy to accommodate with its annual Women in Hollywood tribute in L.A. They’ve been doing this event for 18 years, apparently, and it’s a nice little bridge to get us through until the People’s Choice Awards roll around in early ’12.
If Fashion Week isn’t really your thing and you’ve been hankering for a good celebrity beauty-fest, then you’ll want to dive into this one. It was pretty much all A-list, and even brought out a few faces—Freida Pinto, Katherine Heigl, Naomi Watts—that we really don’t get to see that often. (Some may argue that in the case of Katherine Heigl, that’s a good thing. But I digress.) Anyway, mostly I would like to pay my own tribute to Elizabeth Olsen, who I think has replaced Olivia Wilde, and maybe even Emma Stone before her (!), as the new object of my beauty affection. But let’s take a look at everyone’s hair and makeup choices… Keep reading »
