Love It or Hate It: Ashlee Simpson's Red Redo

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:00:11 -0800

Last night, the Simpson sister's were out in LA, and new mom Ashlee was sporting red locks once more.

Seeing that she went from red to blonde just before Christmas, and now back to red once more, I'm just guessing that the crimson shade is her color of preference - and that she has an amazing stylist capable of creating such transformations without damaging her frequently processed locks.

What say you on Simpson's endless sea of change? Are you red with envy or do you prefer to see her in another hue?

Which Hairstyle Do You Prefer on Ashlee Simpson?

BellaSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:03:56 -0700

Just a few weeks ago, Ashlee Simpson was sporting a much subtler, natural hair color, but now, she's taken it up several notches, going for an intense copper-toned red. The new version of Melrose Place is set to premiere on Tuesday, and as one of the show's characters, she has been all over Manhattan making appearances on various talk shows to promote it. Yesterday, she was seen wearing three very different hairstyles while making her rounds. Of course, like Ashlee, each style had its own distinctive flair. Which one is your favorite?

Ashlee Simpson Is Happily Done With Her Red Hair

Ashlee Simpson was full of smiles as she stopped by a medical building in LA yesterday. Pete hinted at Ashlee's changed hair color earlier in the week, but now she's out and about with her new look. Ashlee kept the red around longer than she would have liked because of her role on Melrose Place, but now that she's off the show soon, she's able to do what she wants. She's still heavily involved with the scandal on the series but in real life, Ashlee's moving on to different projects like a possible return to the stage with Chicago on Broadway.

BellaSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:01:39 -0700

Have you noticed a hot trend emerging on the red carpet? These days, it's all about loose, casually tossed-back updos with pieces left out in the front. Renée Zellweger has been sporting different versions of the look over the past few days, from her tousled bangs she wore at the September Issue premiere to the soft and feminine look she wore earlier this week. At last night's InStyle Summer Soiree in LA, Ashlee Simpson presented her take, complete with asymmetric, twisty angles. Like the look?

Using a shine-enhancing, medium-hold gel like Kiehl's Clean-Hold Styling Gel ($15), blow dry the hair with a round brush for volume and soft curl.
Create a side part in the front, leaving all of the hair from the back of the ear to the front of the hairline out. Sweep the hair behind the lighter side of the part towards the opposite, heavier side. Secure the hair by creating a loose ponytail with an elastic band, using bobby pins to anchor where needed.
Tuck and pin some of the loose ends of the ponytail under the band. Then, twist and pin some of the other loose ends for a tousled effect.
Next, take a few chunky pieces from the front sections of the hair and twist them back into the ponytail. Secure with bobby pins. Finish off by loosely curling the remaining pieces in the front for a bohemian look.

Beauty Tips and Tricks For Redheads

BellaSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:00:18 -0700

Since it's St. Patrick's Day, I've been thinking about classic Irish beauty. Being that so many Irish women are fair-skinned redheads, I thought I'd suggest a few friendly tips and tricks on how to enhance your specific type of beauty. And, of course you don't have to be Irish for this advice to pertain to you, silly - these red-headed celebs aren't!

Protect Your Hair Color: Whether or not you enhance your hair color, you'll want to give it shelter in the sun so that it doesn't turn orange or brassy. Try misting your hair with an SPF shine spray and use color-enhancing hair products to replenish and maintain your color in between salon visits.

For three more makeup and skin-care tips and tricks for redheads, read more.

Makeup Colors: When looking for a foundation and/or a powder, it's best to steer away from anything too pink or yellow. In particular, products targeted for those with olive skin will be too harsh. Generally, it's best to choose a neutral, light-beige shade. Additionally, when possible, avoid orangey-red, orange, and overly strong coral shades of lipstick. However, gold makeup is gorgeous on redheads, as are champagne, taupe, and brown eye shadows - so go crazy!
Eyebrows: Frame your fair skin by filling in your eyebrows. Depending on how dark or light your hair is, you'll want to match your brows one shade darker. Going too dark is going to look unnatural, so choose a soft, auburn, or taupe powder.
Skin Care SPF is a must. Since your skin is fair, it will burn easily and can cause wrinkles, redness, peeling, premature aging, and cancer. Be sure to wear a moisturizer with SPF 30, and when possible consider buying cosmetics with SPF in the formula for extra protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

The Simpson Sisters Paint the Town Red

PopSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 10:30:16 -0800

Jessica and Ashlee Simpson had a girls' night out at Bar Deluxe in LA yesterday. Ashlee must have gotten bored of her new blond locks because she was already back to her fiery red, which stood out against her all black. Jessica was caught in a pouty moment, but it's all good with the men in her life as Tony Romo played golf with Joe Simpson earlier in the day. As for Ashlee's husband, Pete is taking a break from blogging supposedly in response to the scathing Blender article that included John Mayer's unnecessary comments about Ash. Maybe the negative attention will convince Pete to keep his mouth shut and stay out of the doghouse so she can have another amazing year. If not, she always has her sister to get her through.

Ashlee Gets a New 'Do For the New Year

PopSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:33:29 -0800

Ashlee Simpson showed off a new darker hair color to go with her all-black ensemble in LA yesterday. It's not as drastic as the black hair she sported back in the days of The Ashlee Simpson Show, but her new color will definitely set her apart from Jessica again. Personally we're already missing her wavy blonde hair, but many of you voted light brown as the best look for Ashlee. How are you feeling about her deep-reddish color?

Ashlee Hits the Road With Her #1 Fan

PopSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:12:22 -0800

Ashlee and Pete went very matchy-matchy at Mist in Phoenix on Wednesday night with their all black outfits, sneakers and flat ironed hair. It's Pete's turn to play groupie while Ash is hitting up various cities around the country for her mini promo tour. We shared some of our interview with Ashlee and now we've got even more from Ash. In the final segment of the interview, Ashlee talks about her life outside of the music realm, discussing her favorite designers, makeup secrets and fitness tips. She also revealed that she still has to get thinking about her Valentine's Day gift for Pete. Luckily, it looks like they've got pretty similar taste so it shouldn't be too hard. Read the rest of the interview after the jump.

To see what else Ashlee had to say, just read more

PopSugar: We've watched you grow up - we watched you back in your reality days. What's it like for you to go back and watch that stuff? Is it something you regret? Is it something you would do again?
Ashlee Simpson: I wouldn't say it's something I would do again (laughs). Or I definitely wouldn't do a whole series again. But I definitely don't regret it. For me it's cool, because I can look back on that. It's when I got my record deal and everything. One day when I'm a grandma and have purple hair (laughs) I can show my grandchildren that... something like that is kinda cheesy but it's fun to think about.

PS: Who are some of your favorite designers?
AS: I love YSL - that's one of my favorites. And I like Miu Miu. I like Chloe and Marc Jacobs as well.

PS: Are you going to be going to Fashion Week?
AS: I think I'm going to be on the promo tour, but if I can make it out for a day then I definitely will go out for that.

PS: Who are some of your style icons?
AS: I love Debbie Harry - I think she's great. For me it's more about looking in certain magazines. I tear out sheets of everything I like... even random people. For me it's more about that instead of just one person's style.

PS: How would you describe your own personal style?
AS: I think that I always like something to be a little off, but on you know? Like I like to put a bright color... I definitely wear black a lot so I'm trying to experiment with brighter colors. In the day I'm very casual - I'm a tennis shoes kinda girl. But I think it's whatever I feel comfortable in that day. If I feel like getting dressed up that day then I'm going to get dressed up!

PS: What about all the hair color changes?
AS: You know, I think if my life didn't go the way it went I would have been a hair colorist (laughs).

PS: So it's just something fun for you?
AS: I love to do it. It's just fun, yeah. It's something you can always change. You get to kinda take on a new personality with a hair color.

PS: So did you just wake up the other day and say "I'm going to go red."
AS: Yeah... actually (laughs) I did it the other day, I was like "OK you know what I think I want red hair. I've never had red hair before!" So I just did it and I love it. I like it - it's different and I'm really enjoying it. It's fun to try out different colors.

PS: What is the one beauty or makeup product you use every day that you can't live without?
AS: La Mer I always use. And mascara - my Dior mascara. And my black eyeliner. I don't use much on my skin ever except La Mer and then I always like eyeliner and mascara.

PS: Any secrets to keeping such fabulous skin then since you're not putting anything on it?
AS: (laughs) I use these face wipes... you know as cheesy as this sounds I like the ProActiv face wipes. And La Mer face lotion.

PS: Any fun fitness tips you can give in avoiding the unhealthy pressures of Hollywood and always looking so fabulous?
AS: For me, whenever I do shows is always when I'm the most fit. I always stay active... I don't obsess a lot so I never have really had too much of a problem with it. It's eating in moderation... like not saying I can't have pizza, just eating it in moderation. Just don't eat the whole thing, right (laughs)?

PS: Another one of our readers would like to know what a typical day is like for you when you're not busy working?
AS: I always have to find something to do because I get bored really easily. So it really depends on the day and what I'm feeling that day. I like to do a bunch of different things. But if I'm not working I really like to see my friends... my girlfriends... hang out with them. I like going shopping, going to the record store... which I'm really sad about the Virgin store in LA. Watching movies at home is always good and I like to go to the movies a lot.

Molly: Any big Valentine's Day plans?
AS: Not yet, but I gotta get thinking. I gotta get something special!
