The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Claire Danes

BellaSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:00:08 -0700

Claire Danes may have shot to fame while playing red-headed Angela Chase, but these days, it's almost impossible to imagine her as anything but a blonde. She wears her hair soft and simple, and chooses light, relatively natural-looking makeup. It's a chic look that fits the star's low-key attitude. Are you a fan, or is it a so-called miss?

Which Makeup Look Is Better on Claire Danes?

BellaSugar — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:59:51 -0800

Makeup does truly have the ability to transform a person, does it not? At last night's NYC premiere of Confessions of a Shopaholic, Claire Danes' typically lighter locks were just a bit more blond and a few inches shorter. As for her makeup, she went heavy on the liner and wore an apricot shade for her lips. Because of her use and placement of makeup tones, even her eye color looks different. What do you think of this transformation?

2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Claire Danes

BellaSugar — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:14:08 -0800

Claire Danes has come a long way from her days playing Angela Chase. She's looking more or less angst-free at the SAG Awards, showing off a beautiful peaches-and-cream complexion. Her hairstyle suggests that sometimes, less is more - it's soft and simple without being too prommy. Are you a fan of this look?

Love It or Hate It? Claire Danes' Costume Institute Gala Look

BellaSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:19:37 -0700

Claire Danes looked rather flawless tonight. The smokey eye is done just right, the pink lip is glowingly glossy and lined to perfection, and the cheeks, well let's just say it looks like she's enjoying herself. If I had one thing to gripe about, and really I'm searching, her hair is looking just a tad too coppery for my taste. Regardless, Claire's done it right in my book. You digging?

Do You Like Claire's Hair Straight or With Body?

BellaSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 05:35:57 -0700

Claire Danes has been popping up all over the place this summer. I am a big fan, so I'm happy to see her making a comeback. She showed up at TRL on Tuesday (pictured right) and right before that we saw her at the LA premiere of Stardust. I think we can agree that her hair is looking healthy and beautiful with her bright blonde highlights, but do you like her hair better styled straight or with a little bit of body?

How To: Claire Danes's Polished Pulled-Back 'Do

BellaSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:36:13 -0700

Claire Danes totally nailed her look at the premiere of Evening in NYC on Tuesday night. Her lips are bright, her skin is glowing, and her hair looks simple but full of volume.

This pulled-back, partly down style with a touch of bouffant at the crown is very popular - Carmen Electra chose a similar look for her wedding hair - and it's also very easy. So for this week's How To, I've created simple step-by-step instructions on how to recreate Claire's look at home, complete with product recommendations you can scroll through below. (Want to create your own celebrity beauty look? Try this week's TeamSugar challenge.)

Step 1: Wash hair with an advanced shampoo for fine hair, like Jonathan Product Shampoo Serious Volume Volumizing Shampoo.
Step 2: Apply a volumizing mousse to the hair, especially concentrating on the roots. Then, section hair by pinning or clipping the top layers up so you can blow-dry the underneath sections first.

Step 3: Working in sections - around eight sections is usually plenty - dry hair away from your face using a large round brush to create the curves at the tips like Claire's. When you are finished drying, wrap each section of hair around the brush several times. Hold the brush and give each section a shot of cold air to set.
Step 4: If you are looking for added waves, use a one-and-a-half-inch or larger barreled curling iron to add some curls and volume.
Step 5: Grab a section of hair at the front crown and back-tease the underside to give it some volume. Next, hold that same section of hair, smooth out the topside with a brush, and pin the section using two to three bobby pins. Position the pins away from your ears at a 45-degree angle, and allow them to overlap for more hold.
Step 6: Lastly, mist your entire head with a medium to firm hold hairspray. Make sure that you do an extra once-over at the crown, since you won't want any fly-aways to spoil your look.
