Love It or Hate It? Angela Bassett's Walk of Fame Look

BellaSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 06:00:49 -0700

Ah, I love Angela Bassett. Upon receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, the actress said, "Who would have thought that a little girl in pigtails from St. Petersburg, Florida, would grow up to find herself gazing at a star with her name on it, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? This day is so, so special to me." So sweet.

Not only is she getting recognition for her talent, she's also come a long way from wearing those pigtails. This sophisticated hairstyle has a slight nod to the early '60s, but it isn't overtly retro. And can we talk about her beautiful skin for a moment? When I saw this picture, I thought, "Wow, she looks amazing - she must be close to 40." Wrong - Angela turns 50 this year. Can you believe it?!

Trend Alert: Turquoise Nail Polish

BellaSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:00:20 -0700

Among the many qualities that make Whitney Port (of The Hills) so lovely is that she has her own style. I've always thought of Whit as someone who sets trends as opposed to following them. So when I spotted this style star sporting shiny turquoise nail polish, I was excited.

For anyone who's willing to try out a wild new water-colored varnish, get ready for the next big nail trend. You can always go back to my China Glaze review, and here are two more aqua nail polishes.

Nic's Sticks by OPI in Baby Go Bye-Bye ($6.99) is a vibrant turquoise color. This relatively new and easy-to-use nail polish pen is great if you are looking for a quick color fix. I haven't tried them, but there are 30 colors and from what I understand, the only drawback is that they are a little runnier than the original OPI formula. The advantage: the polish dries in just one minute.

For one more turquoise nail polish, read more.

Attention all neon lovers: Creative Nail Design in Hot Pop Blue ($10) is a bright aqua nail lacquer for you. There are also two more Hot Pop colors in the collection for those of you who dare to wear bold pink or orange polishes. Two coats and a top coat are all it takes to create sexy, shiny, chip-resistant nails.

Rachel Bilson premiered more than just her movie Jumper in Japan earlier today. Check out her new blunt-cut bangs. It's easy to understand why she'd want to change up her hairstyle a little bit. She's been in hundreds pictures recently promoting this movie and her hair has pretty much stayed the same ever since The O.C.. What do you think of this new cut?

Trend Alert: Goth Lips at London Fashion Week

At London Fashion Week, I noticed a couple of outlandish beauty trends such as crimped hair and modern cornrow braids. But what I remember most vividly from my backstage access was the look of goth lips.

Designers like Julian MacConald, Nathan Jenden, Ossie Clark and Inbar Spector all chose a midnight lip to reflect a chic and distinguishable edge. I'm not a big fan of morbid makeup, but it definitely has shock value on the runway. Would you ever wear blood-colored lipstick?

Love It or Hate It? Katherine Heigl's Blonde Ambition

BellaSugar — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:00:02 -0800

Katherine Heigl showed off a new hairstyle in Madrid today and if she's trying to look like a Hollywood legend, this cut and color can't hurt. It's such a Marilyn Monroe look,
don't you think? I'm loving the lip gloss on her, but I go back and forth on her hair. Part of me loves the mussed-up glamour of it, but can you imagine this hairstyle with a T-shirt and jeans? Let me know what you think in the comments - because I know a lot of you will have strong opinions!
