Drew Barrymore Puts the Sexy On

Drew Barrymore is one girl whose style you just can’t refuse, as she looks super fabby whether she is grunged out with jeans and plaid, or stepping out onto the red carpet in a fabulous dress. And fabulous it was, as Drew attended the AFI FEST 2009 screening of “Everybody’s Fine” held at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California. She was seen wearing a smashing purple dress vis a vis Victoria Beckham, and pinned her hair back in a casual ponytail that looked anything but. And this just proves just how relaxed Drew’s style is, even when she’s rocking a killer gown on the red carpet. Yes, ponytails ARE big right now, whether it is a formal night out, or a rocking Saturday morning in. This just goes to show once again that yes, you can get away with second day hair without drawing too much attention to yourself, and if you WANT to draw attention to yourself, you only need a smashing designer dress to boot.

To get this look, take a fine tooth comb and create a sleek part on the side. Dampen your soft bristle brush as you pull this ponytail back, and let it sit nice and low on the back of your neck like Drew has here. Once you are done that, you only need to sweep your bangs off to the side like Drew has done, and pin them just above your ear with a pretty jewelled pin, or with a bobby pin the same shade as your hair. So when you are gearing up for party mode, go ahead and spend more time having fun since you won’t have to spend too much time on your hair. Even if you arrive a few minutes late looking THIS hot, you will be surprised at the positive reaction.

Sienna Miller’s Bad Hair Day

Sienna Miller just can’t seem to cut a break, but you have to admit, she brings it on herself. At least she has good fashion to fall back on if nothing else, and she certainly proves that here. She’s seen here in New York City taking her dog Bess for a walk with some friends, and hanging around Olive’s for a coffee break. And despite the obvious bad hair day, she is looking cute as ever with white wing tipped loafers and a double breasted peacoat proving once again, if you have the style, you can swing a bad hair day now and then.You almost want to hate someone that looks THAT great even when she is in prime dog walking mode, but feel however you want about Sienna, you can’t hate this look. No, but you can take a few lessons from her when it comes to looking effortlessly fabulous no matter what your day’s events hold. And if you think it looks a little too effortless, think again because not only does this look effortless, but this look IS effortless to achieve with a quick and simple ponytail twist.

Sienna here has simply pulled back her hair in a sexy ponytail, and not fussed too much about flyaways or concise neatness and then piled it into a double ponytail on top of her head to keep her hair free and out of her way for her jaunt with Bess. And she has taken care of all of her little flyaways with a very pretty and very chic headband to boot, or, the Hollywood look of sunglasses as headband. But it’s definitely a cute look that you can model as well. If you want to go super cas as well, you can do so, and do so however you like. You can still pull this one off in the everyday if you have the right hair accessory to pair your hair with for a chic and sassy everyday casual look that really only takes a few minutes.

Lilo Goes Platinum

This is one Hollywood starlet that certainly does like to keep us guessing, doesn’t she? Whether it’s her hair color, drug of choice, or sexuality, she never does give away too much until the very last minute. Here she is seen resorting back to her platinum days just a few days ago as she was heading out for some salon love. To get this look, Lindsay had to sacrifice the better part of her day at the Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood in order to tend to her newly bleached blonde locks. After her salon day, she was spotted changing into a quick change of clothes before heading to the airport to catch a flight, presumably to New York. And this is one fashionista thtat I don’t have a problem saying seems to look good in any hair color she chooses, and once again this blonde bombshell look is really working for her. When you add the sexy vixen style blowout, she is definitely one that can turn heads no matter where she is, or what her celebrity status might be. This color is one that you want to discuss with your stylist before you make any bold moves, as platinum is a tricky one to attain, and even trickier to maintain. Make sure you and your stylist are on the same page before she starts painting on the color. Once you have that worked out, you can get this voluminous hair very easily, though give yourself some extra time here.

To get this look, use texturizing shampoo and conditioner, and you will want to blow dry with a round bristle brush. Blow dry your hair about 95%, and when it is still slightly damp, you can set your hair in large sized Velcro rollers to create this wonderful volume that Lindsay has here, without the look of curls. Let your rollers set for about 30 minutes, and then blast some heat on them to finish the drying and lock in that volume. When your hair has cooled from this blast, take the rollers out and brush out your hair with your soft bristle brush. The end result? A lovely voluptuous mane with just enough wave and volume to look sexy, but not too much that you are over the top.

Tory Spelling Hits the Scary Skinny List

Tori Spelling is seen here reminding us of those 90210 days way back in the ‘90’s when eating disorders were cool in Hollywood. And it seems that she has forgotten that they are not cool anymore, and she has whittled down to a dress size that must be making some doctors across America cringe. At any rate, size minus zero or no, she is still looking quite stunning as she appeared for the Red Dress Collection catwalk show. The event is one that raises money for the heart foundation, and Tori went with a very simple yet elegant cocktail piece and a sleek low ponytail to pair. This just goes to show that yes, you can get away with second day hair without drawing too much attention to yourself, and if you WANT to draw attention to yourself, you only need a smashing red dress to boot.

To get this look, take a fine tooth comb and create a sleek part on the side. Dampen your soft bristle brush as you pull this ponytail back, and let it sit nice and low on the back of your neck like Tori has here. And even though Tori is on a weight watch list, you can still pull off a scary skinny figure with a chic ponytail if you do it right. If you pull off the right look like Tori has here and choose simple pieces that are casual, but fitted to your size and complement your figure, you can get away with the ponytail. Doing just that will ensure that if you are getting looks from the office crowd, they are the kind of looks you want. Go ahead and sleep in a little since you won’t have to worry about your hair. Even if you arrive a few minutes late looking THIS hot, you may be surprised at the positive reaction.

Agyness Deyn Chills Out in New York

Supermodel extraordinaire Agyness Deyn is spotted here enjoying a little me time in New York City. She was running some errands and hanging out in her fave NYC hot spots, and transported herself easily on her cute little bike. And you have to know that only supermodels like Agyness Deyn can get away with riding a bike in New York heat in a skirt that is short enough to turn plenty of heads, which I am sure she did. Nonetheless, Agyness pulled it off, and with a heck of a lot of grace to boot. And this is a girl that proves that short hair doesn’t have to be difficult to maintain, as it seems she never seems to have the same hairstyle twice, proving that short hair is not only easy to maintain, but versatile at the same time.

You can get this look, and this super versatile hairstyle, by simply getting the right cut, so ask your stylist for longer length in the back and at your sides, but get some volume pumped into the top with shaggy layers cut into your crown. You can’t see Agyness’s crown layers here as she has sleeked them into her overall style for a day look that is easy to maintain on the bike.

To style then, you can use some styling wax on towel dried hair, and blow dry your hair with a round bristle brush. This look is sleek, so you aren’t going to worry too much about volume here. When your hair is dried, spritz some antihumectant spray on your locks, and then run the flat iron over your entire head, bending the ends only slightly for some face framing style. By using the flat iron, you will lock in the antihumectant so your hair stays straight and sleek all day long, and it also adds some extra shine to that gorgeous style. For some extra shine for a night out, you can spritz on some glossing serum for a shiny, sexy finish that will instantly glam up any night on the town.

Ali Larter Does a Bang Up Job

Here is the always ever so gorgeous Ali Larter looking stunning at the Cinema Society and MCM screening of ‘Obsessed’ at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. We haven’t seen too much of Ali lately, but when we do, does she ever impress. Ali does a bang up job in the movie playing a temp that takes a liking to a co-worker, which is all well and good. If said co-worker isn’t married to someone as fabulous as Sharon, a character played by Beyonce. Ali Larter the obsessed type? Never in real life, but she certainly did a good job making the point in this film. And when she appeared on the red carpet for the premiere in this particular get up, she certainly proved that she was a force to be reckoned with. Ali Larter and her infamous bangs are one look that will never change, and that is of no surprise to us. Why? Ali’s bangs are almost signature to her personal look right now, so why should she consider changing something that isn’t broken?

If you are looking for a switch to your look, but don’t want to take too many bold steps, follow in the likes of signature face framing statements like Ali, and yes, even Beyonce. Keep in mind that blunt bangs are a thing of the past, instead go for longer fringe bangs that are cut mildly uneven. This uneven look is a little bit lighter on the face frame than the former trend of blunt bangs that would weigh a face down.

Ask your stylist to cut just below your eyebrows as this makes for a versatile look where you can even pull those sexy bangs back and make them disappear if you like. Once they are cut, if you want to go for an everyday banged out look, clamp a flat iron at the base, and bend them into a slight curve. Comb through them once you have done that to avoid the “mall” look, and squeeze a pinch of pomade on the ends at either side to frame your face beautifully.

Ah yes, for some people it just doesn’t take all that long to bounce back from stalker like ex-girlfriend to new girlfriend in a jiffy. Paris Hilton is not one girl that is free from reputation smears, but her most recent post-breakup actions from Benji Madden didn’t exactly make her look like an heiress in the making, did it? Here she is though showing Benji, and anyone else that cares, that she has moved on and is happy again. Yes, the world can breath a collective sigh of relief knowing that Paris is back in the saddle, and this time she is hooking up with the cutie pie Doug Reinhardt as they vacation together in Hawaii.

Paris Gets Snubbed!

Oh yes, we all love to hear the stories about the Golden Globes. And as exciting it is to see who is wearing who and who is arriving with whom, it is even more exciting to hear about all the juicy little things that happen behind the scenes at the Golden Globes. Of course everyone talks about the red carpet sound bites and the immaculately styled starlets, but the dramas that go beyond the media screens is the juice we are really all after, isn’t it? Of course! So when we got wind that Paris Hilton received a big fat snub during this year’s GG’s, we got very excited. Here she was spotted perhaps doing some retail therapy as she shopped Barney’s New York in Beverly Hills. Since when does Paris shop at Barney’s, anyway? I didn’t realize Barney’s was showcasing a bubble skirt collection these days.

At any rate, Paris Hilton is one that we love to mock and tease, as does the rest of the world, she’s such an easy target. But when she gets the royal A list snub, we move from mocking and teasing to downright laugh out loud hysteria. It sounds like there was a little after party for the GG’s that Paris was not only excluded from attending, but actually booted physically from the event. But she must have fallen softly I am thinking because it seems that she’s been booted from so many establishments and events that I am beginning to wonder if there is an international ‘Do Not Invite’ list of organizations and companies that have Paris’s name as numero uno. The party that Paris got the boot from THIS time was the Creative Artist Agency’s post Globes bash, and was overseen by the CAA super guy Kevin Huvane. Paris was not on the invite list, and musta used her ‘it got lost in the mail’ excuse to squeeze her anorexic frame in, but when Kevin got wind of her being there, he demanded that she be escorted as far from the Sunset Towers as was physically possible.

Kevin was outraged at her sense of entitlement, and he was adamant that she be removed. He was storming around, yelling ‘Who let her in? She is not invited, and somebody had better get her out of here immediately!
