Lotsa Lashes: 21 of the Most Extreme Looks

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Back in 1919, famed makeup artist Max Factor invented false eyelashes to enhance the dramatic performances of leading Hollywood starlets. Since then, there's been a bevy of lashes from which to choose, with Shu Uemura leading the industry in the most fashion-forward styles. (Even I've gotten in on the action.) These "lotsa lashes" looks are always quite memorable. Who can forget Twiggy's batting lashes or Madonna's notorious $10,000 mink-and-diamond pair? See more now.

Trend Alert: Light, (Almost) White Nail Polish

BellaSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:05:56 -0700

With the matte nail trend going full force, it's all about polishes with white, off-white, and nearly white tones. While it has the low-shine finish that's so very of-the-moment, it's not a chalky, dull look, but it's not an overly sheer or glossy look, either.

The always-fashionable Gwen Stefani has been spotted wearing a more opaque version during her current tour with No Doubt, and other celebrities, such as Paris Hilton, Rachel Zoe, and Molly Sims, have taken part - each with her own twist on the trend.

To get the look, try Essie Nail Polish in Blanc ($8), a snowy white; OPI Nail Polish in Alpine Snow, a matte white; or make your own light polish into a matte one with Essie's Matte About You ($10). See more celebrities who have worn variations of this white/almost-white trend below.

Which Hairstyle Change Do You Prefer?

Some celebrities stick to their tried-and-true hairstyles, and then there are the chameleons. It could be an extension here or an application of color there, or perhaps it's the addition of a wig to keep things interesting. Whatever the case may be, it's your turn to choose. Which hairstyle metamorphoses have you more mesmerized?

Paris Hilton Makes a Splash

BellaSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:15:18 -0700

First she was just Paris. Then she was a cancan dancer. After that, a fairy! And now, Paris Hilton is dressed like a topless mermaid to promote her next fragrance.

Either Paris is a big fan of The Little Mermaid (likely) or she's been inspired by Greek mythology (not as likely), because her next scent is called Siren. WWD reports that the fruity floral scent, due out next month, was inspired by mermaids. "Siren is all about being sexy in a playful way. I feel irresistible as a mermaid," Paris said. "What girl doesn’t want to have fun being a fantasy creature that men can’t resist?" (It should be said that in The Odyssey, sirens lured men in, then left their flesh to rot. Paris's interpretation of Homer is far more glamorous.)

The eau de parfum ($45-55) and body lotion $28) will debut at Macy's next month. The scent, as WWD describes it, has "top notes of juicy mandarin, apricot nectar, and frangipani, with a heart of honeysuckle, coconut orchid and water lily. The drydown consists of vanilla beans, sandalwood and creamy musk." Will you hear the call of Paris's Siren, or has that ship sailed for you?

MTV Movie Awards: Paris Hilton

BellaSugar — Sun, 31 May 2009 17:47:35 -0700

Paris Hilton recently created a saucy scene at Cannes with her fella, but she offered a classic take on 1940's star Veronica Lake's golden curls on the MTV red carpet. She played up her eyes with black liner and light gold shadow, and a hint of purple liner under her eyes. Her post-French Riviera glow stands out with the help of sparkly bronzer and nude lips.

What do you think of her longer, soft curls and sunned look?

Trend Alert: Glitzy Black Nails

BellaSugar — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:00:26 -0700

What's black, sometimes white, and glitzed all over? It's the black nail polish trend taken up a notch, that's what. I've spotted different stars putting a new spin on this trend, which - let's face it - had been getting a little stale. In lieu of a straight up manicure with black polish, these celebrities have taken it up several notches with their own unique embellishments (see them up close after the jump).

Paris Hilton has been sporting a black and white French manicure; Solange Knowles opted for some geometric gold patterns at an event last month; and singer Keri Hilson chose a black with silver stripes design at her launch party. What do you think of this look? Bring it on or not?

Who Wears the Metallic Headband Best?

BellaSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:00:34 -0700

While we're still seeing everything from satiny flowers to wispy feathers (hello, Gossip Girl), metallic headbands are also ruling the fashion scene. Although we haven't seen Mischa Barton wearing her signature style as of late, she does carry a line of headbands in collaboration with accessories designer Stacey Lapidus. As for the hair accessories business, Mischa's not alone. Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 collection includes metallic headpieces, which she told Pop were her favorite of the line. Then there's Paris Hilton. She has her perfume line to keep her busy, but that doesn't stop her sporting this Grecian-like adornment in sparkly silver tones. When it comes to this metallic headband trend, which gal does it best - or are you ready to just put this shimmery look behind us already?

2009 Grammy Awards: Paris Hilton

BellaSugar — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:44:16 -0800

Love her or hate her, you have to give Paris credit for changing her look frequently. This time around, she's back to short hair with a kicky little wave. Long lashes (false, of course!) and shimmery eye shadow show off her eyes, while a pale frosty lipstick makes for a low-key smile. What do you think of this look?

Witness the History of the Hair Bow

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 07:00:52 -0800

Lady Gaga seems to be everywhere these days, and recently, she was spotted partying with Paris Hilton, wearing what can only be described as a bow made from hair. And this isn't the first time we've seen the singer (or Paris, for that matter) all tied up in a bow. Is this larger-than-life hairdo becoming her signature style? Have a look at my slideshow to see which other stars have rocked this unusual look. Source
