Updo
Day-to-Night Hairstyle in a Flash
Celebrity stylist Charles Baker Strahan has been sharing his tips for making our hair look its best during warmer-weather months, from avoiding naughty locks to his suggestion for a fresh Spring haircut to making your ponytail less boring. Now he's offering up his tips on creating a simple office-to-party hairstyle in a flash. He said:
One style that I think is very versatile is loose, tousled waves.
Trend Alert: Umbrellas and Updo's at The BAFTAs
All of the nominees who chose to walk tonight's BAFTA Awards red carpet wearing their hair up came out on top. About halfway through the glamorous coverage, the skies opened up and the rains came pouring down. Luckily, umbrellas and willing assisants were there to shield the dresses, tuxedo's and all of the hard work of makeup artists and hair dressers.
Trend Alert: Up Up And-A-Wave At The 2009 SAG Awards
Last night at the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, the red carpet was filled with celebrities from television and film. In true Hollywood tradition, all of the women arrived dressed to the nines in ball-gowns and baubles from big name designers and everyone's hair and makeup was flawless.
Some of my favourite beauties were January Jones who looked slightly 70's with her loose waves and gold eye shadow, and Freida Pinto whose soft, smoky makeup enhanced her creamy caramel skin.
Love It or Hate it? Angelina Jolie's Bouffant Button Updo
Last night at the Benjamin Button premiere in Berlin, Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet looking mature and demure with Brad on her arm. Covered from head to toe in cream, her hair was upswept and asymmetrical. One side was pulled back and pinned into a twist whilst the other side was bouffant and fitted in a loose wave.
Trend Alert: Sleek, Chic Hair at The Golden Globes
The Golden Globes red carpet was filled with so many different beauty looks ranging from tomato stained lips, to loose waves, undone makeup and pink lips, however, the most prominent trend was slick, wet looking updo's. Kate Beckinsale even liked her hair so much from the Critics' Choice Awards that she even gave us a repeat performance. Others like Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Megan Fox, and Anna Paquin consistently change their hair, so this style was interesting and fresh.
Trend Alert: Free-Falling Bangs at The Longchamp Bash
Last night, pretend New York socialite Leighton Meetster and fellow Gossip Girl star, Jessica Szohr joined real life New York socialite Olivia Polermo at the 60th anniversary soirée for Longchamp. I can imagine just how sweltering the big apple can be in the Summertime, but these lovely ladies have managed to mask any evidence of debilitating heat and humidity.
They arrived to the Upper East Side wearing minimal makeup and casual updos with their long, layered bangs lying just below their jawline to frame their face.
Sienna Miller vs. Keira Knightley: Whose Updo Do You Prefer?
Last night as Pop UK and Fab UK partied with Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Elle magazine to celebrate The Edge of Love film, they noticed a disheveled up-do trend emerging. Ok, so they didn't actually say it in those words, but that's beauty girl talk for – "Look Keira and Sienna have remarkably similar hair styles tonight!"
Keira's asymetric knot was bang on the money in terms of being prettily on-trend and I thought Sienna's messy chignon looked perfect for her bobo (boho bourgeoisie) style.
How to Have Hair Like a Princess Bride
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Prince Joachim wed Miss Marie Cavallier in a white wedding in Copenhagen, Denmark. The princess bride wore her hair off of her face and neck in a delicate updo. Her curled and pinned hair extensions were secured in the back, and the look was topped off with an elaborate tiara.
Which Is Your Favorite Viennese Updo?
There are occasions like the Academy Awards where stars go all out and dress to the nines and last night's Opera Ball in Vienna, Austria was one of them. Every woman in the house was wearing a gala style gown, decadent jewels and had over-done hair. Here's a sampling of some of the looks on Dita Von Teese and Bettina Kofler (girlfriend of Austrian construction magnate Richard Lugner) whose hair kind of reminds me of this 1960's photo.
