The formal affair honored design legend Elsa Schiaparelli, famous for her love of a shocking hot pink. And it won't be long until Coco can wear Schiaparelli pink on more than just her hair; the brand relaunch is set for February 2013. Source: Read more
From rose gold to neon, pink hair is having a moment. But the color is no longer for punk rockers and rebellious teenagers (oh, Willow Smith). Pink has become a sophisticated way to add color to a formal look. Brooklyn Decker recently added hot pink pieces to her tousled updo at the Battleship premiere in South Korea, while January Jones's peekaboo panel of rose gold fades easily into her blond Read more
Gwen Stefani guest mentored on this week's episode of American Idol, and with contestants dropping like flies and the title edging ever closer, each performance is more important than ever. Stefani was on hand for '80s week, which is a time to be joyous, to sing oldies-but-goodies, and to break out your circus formal wear. Well, that last one may only apply to Randy. This was a pretty great week Read more

This week, the red carpet was rife with these in-between hairstyles of sorts, with stars like AnnaLynne McCord, Lily Collins, and Ahna O'Reilly all wearing their own take on the look. For AnnaLynne, her half-up hair received a bit of a twist, with a portion in the back coiled around the base of her hair elastic. Read more
Best actress nominee Viola Davis made a beautiful statement at the 2012 Oscars. The Help star let her hair go natural, with just a hint of tint to lighten her locks. A shiny nude lip and bronzed cheeks showed off her complexion, and glittering emerald eyeliner accentuated her green drop earrings. All in all, it's a festively formal look for an actress who's coming off of a SAG Awards win for her Read more
Updos and braids are a combination made in formal-hair heaven, but they usually only work one of a few ways: wound around in a chignon, pinned up in a milkmaid braid, or French braided back. At The Lorax premiere, though, Taylor Swift stunned the crowd with a messy, textured braid/low chignon combination that was unlike anything we'd ever seen before. In practice, it actually seems pretty easy to Read more

Try moving your usual ponytail or bun down. "Wearing your hair at the nape of the neck looks smart and chic," says hairstylist Andy Lecompte of the Andy Lecompte Read more
People toss around the terms "bun" and "chignon" a lot, but are the two interchangeable? No, actually, at least not in English. "Chignon" is the French word for bun, but in its American and British usage, it's an abbreviated term, originating from the phrase "chignon du cou," or "bun at the nape of the neck." With the shortening and misappropriation of the French, it's easy to see why there's so Read more
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I must admit my interest was piqued when I heard about a new book last month being compared to the magical series, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. To add fuel to the buzzy fire, the film rights for the book have already been picked up by Twilight's entertainment company Summit.
