40 Vintage Oscars Beauty Looks

Jaime Richards — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:24:35 PST

Some stars' past Academy Award beauty looks weren't the best we've ever seen, but a peek back into the red carpet vault proves that there were many who got it right. Sure, poodle perms, frosted shadows, and brick red lipstick might look strange or dated to us now, but they at one point constituted what was hot at the time. Here are 40 stars who stood out with their memorable makeup and hairstyles at the Oscars (and Governors Ball) from way back when.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! '70s Diva

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:45:15 PST

Only 11 days until New Year's Eve!

Diana Ross was a pro at making a stylish splash on stage, and during the '70s and '80s, she rocketed to solo stardom and brought her ultraglam looks out on the town to tons of parties and events. Her iconic style is dazzling and dramatic, yet easy to echo. If you're looking to push your New Year's ensemble to the max this year, go all the way in a fringed maxidress, or a chic fringed statement jacket. Channel the diva Diana with giant hoop earrings and a cocktail ring, and remember: a look this glam calls for extra-high heels, so slip on a pair of sparkly platforms and get ready to hit the floor.

Whose Costume Is More Outrageous - Diana "Bird" Ross or Lady "Snowflake" Gaga?

FabSugar — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 02:16:22 PDT

Both Diana Ross and Lady Gaga are on tour right now. And both recently performed in larger-than-life stage costumes. Diana stepped onto the Nokia Theatre stage in LA wearing a neon yellow Big Bird-like, floor-length feather coat. Big hair, big costume, big is her thing. Lady Gaga belted out her tunes in Birmingham, England, wearing a huge snowflake-inspired piece. We've come to expect outrageous pieces from Gaga. Miss Ross? Not lately. Take a good gander at both, then tell me, whose latest costume is more outrageous?

FABTV: Diana Ross Featuring Michael Jackson, "Upside Down"

FabSugar — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:23:22 PDT

There are too many performers I either missed or still have yet to witness live. Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, and Nirvana are amongst the ones I will never see because, well, they are no longer. Led Zeppelin, Bjork, and Diana Ross are still on my list. Oh, Diana. Such a Fab diva. I love this quickie performance she did, with a fun Michael Jackson cameo at the end. From her sexy white Halston-esque dress (I've heard rumors it's Halston?) to the round white stage, it's all so very . . . disco chic. Diana's got the voice and the moves; my favorite is at the very beginning when she throws her head down then back up and begins to shimmy. Upside down, boy you turn me, inside out, and round and round . . .

Iron Man Brings Its Happy and Hot Cast to NYC

Molly — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:03:00 PDT

Michael Kors and the Cinema Society helped bring Iron Man to NYC last night. Gwyneth has been loving her tiny dresses and sexy photoshoots these days, and this brought it to a new level - yowza, but she looks great. Cannot blame her for l-o-v-i-n-g her legs alongside all her costars and some New York friends. On the red carpet, Gwyneth talked about a possible sequel, "I [am] so happy people are loving it, and getting so excited about it, but the truth is that the experience was so wonderful, and such a happy, happy time. That’s really why I’m so happy that I did it...The idea that there could be another one, and we could get our little family back together - it would be great." From the thrilling action scenes to bringing out the inner geek in all of us (you know it), we can't wait for Iron Man to finally hit theaters this Friday!

Kennedy Honors One Wild and Crazy Guy Among Others

PopSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 10:31:25 PST

Last night celebs headed to DC to celebrate five stars from different areas of the entertainment industry with Kennedy Center Honors. Cameron Diaz looked fabulous in her funky strapless dress to present Martin Scorsese with an award for his directorial work. Jordin Sparks (is it just us or is she already looking thinner?) and Vanessa Williams were in the house to pay homage to honoree Diana Ross by performing her songs, while musicians Brian Wilson and Steve Fleischer also walked away with medals around their necks. Steve Carell honored one of our favorite funny men Steve Martin and of course threw in a few of his own jokes, saying, "His act was that of an idiot savant, minus the savant. He's a national treasure in the loosest sense of the term."

We've definitely been missing Steve Carell on The Office, but we're glad that we're still getting a dose of his humor during the show's hiatus. Lots more pics including Aretha Franklin, Martin Short, and Ciara so just read more

Gossip Girls Love Their Tiffanys

Molly — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 08:30:00 PDT

The PYTs from Gossip Girl are really taking advantage of their newfound fame and open invitation to fancy parties. Blake and Leighton (S and B, respectively) were at Saturday night's launch of Tiffany's 2008 Blue Book Collection at the Museum of Natural History in NYC. Something about Leighton looks different (older), but obviously these girls look adorable in any dress and especially great up against that Tiffany blue. Also at the soirée was Jennifer Hudson who dressed metallic like the jewelry they were there to celebrate. Speaking of that, you think those big red (black) carpet smiles are because the ladies know they were about to score a goody bag from the new line?

Bella Donna: Diana Ross

BellaSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 16:00:52 PDT

This week's Bella Donna is another singer (like last week's pick, Deborah Harry). The fabulous and dramatic Diana Ross is one of the most successful musical artists of all time, so it's no surprise that her unique look influenced legions of young women in the '60s and beyond.

The Detroit-born Ross leapt to fame as the lead singer of Motown supergroup The Supremes. Their hits, including "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "You Keep Me Hangin' On," brought incredible success to the quartet, and in 1968 Ross embarked on a solo career that lasted for decades. In more recent years, she's been in the news for her unusual behavior (remember when she grabbed Lil' Kim at the MTV Video Music Awards?), but there's no denying the influence she's had throughout the years.

Before Diana Ross, black women had relatively few pop culture icons. But when the Supremes hit the scene, everything changed (Even Oprah has said that Ross was her icon as a young girl). Ross' dramatic eyes relied on heavy eyeliner and false lashes-two huge trends in the '60s. As time went on, her hair evolved with the trends: From the flippy bob of her Supremes days, she went on to wear an afro before ultimately settling with the natural-looking curls she sports today.

To view a gallery of Diana Ross throughout the years, and to read her quotes on beauty,

On plastic surgery: "My kids would be really upset if I did anything like that, and I've seen so many pretty girls mess themselves up, and you can't turn things around."
"By the time I was 16, I was going to beauty school on weekends. I learned a lot about hairstyling, manicures and pedicures. When The Supremes went on the road, I did everyone's hair-you know, the hot iron and rollers. I wanted to learn everything about beauty to make people more attractive."
"I never like to think of myself as beautiful. I like to think of myself as healthy; beauty comes from being healthy."
"[Beauty] means being a good person, having integrity and loyalty and being true to your work. There's power in that! Walking around being self-indulgent about prettiness-that's not important."

Celebs Fly High at Qatar Air Party

Molly — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:33:09 PDT

Last night Qatar Airlines thew themselves a little party to celebrate their inaugural flight into NYC, and some celebs came out to play. It's a little odd to see Maggie & Peter with Melania & Donald -- maybe they talked babies? Meanwhile, how pretty is Andie MacDowell's daughter? She's a definite looker, just like her mom. The whole event is a little random, but I bet the celebs in attendance will be flying free on Qatar sometime soon!

"Ain't no afro high enough..!" Great hair seems to be as important as great singing on this season's American Idol. So who's working the fiercest fro?
