How To: Scrunched Summertime Waves

BellaSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:00:52 -0700

Last year I talked to you about how to create the ever-popular sexy beach waves hairstyle, and this is a modification on that look. It's slightly more polished for a casual evening dinner or party that doesn't make you look like you've just come straight from the surf.

When I think of this hairstyle, Camila Alves, Jessica Simpson and of course Rachel Bilson come to mind. To find out how you can achieve scrunched summertime waves at home, read more.

STEP 1: While hair is soaking wet, comb out the snarls with a wide-toothed comb. Part hair and apply just a little bit of de-frizzing serum like Frizz-Ease by John Frieda to the lengths and ends.
STEP 2: Let it air dry a little bit and when it's damp (not wet!) generously mist it with either a homemade or store-bought sea salt spray and scrunch hair vigorously all over.
STEP 3: As a finishing touch (something that Rachel Bilson hasn't done here) gently tease your hair at the crown to create more overall height and volume, otherwise your hair risks looking limp and straggly.
STEP 4: To ensure shiny ends, apply some Renee Furturer Spray Gloss and then leave hair alone. Don't brush, comb or play with it or you'll only create separation and, heaven forbid, frizz!

Love It or Hate It? Rachel Bilson's Thin Braid-Band

BellaSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:00:58 -0700

Yesterday, Rachel Bilson did some shopping in Los Angeles with her hair styled in a low ponytail with a thin braid wrapped from ear to ear. This is a new take on the braid-band, as I like to call it. It's thinner and much more delicate than the hippie braid or the summer braid. Funny, isn't it, because Summer was actually Rachel's character's name on The OC - ahh, I really do kill myself sometimes. Do you like this look, and do you think you'd wear it?

Do You Like Rachel Bilson Better As a Brunette or a Blonde?

BellaSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:00:38 -0700

Before you freak out about Rachel's new dye job, you can relax. It's just a wig she's wearing on the set of her forthcoming movie, New York, I Love You. It sure does seem to suit her creamy skin though, doesn't it? Do you think she could pull off a real blond hair color, or should she stay a brunette?

Hollywood Comes Out to Get Lucky in LA

Lauren Conrad hit the red carpet alongside a bevy of beautiful ladies for the Lucky Magazine and Madewell Fall Denim Tour at the Bar Marmont last night in LA. Hollywood starlets from all over TV and film came out to celebrate the new line of denim, although for most of the atendees, short skirts were the dress code for the evening. Kristen Bell looked like the picture of health in her layered look, while Mandy Moore showed of yet another new hair transformation. Rachel Bilson traded in her casual wellies for worn-in black boots, striking a pose after walking the red carpet. Katie Cassidy joined the rest of the ladies as another new episode of Melrose Place aired - though it's still not as scandalous as 90210.

Love It or Hate It? Rachel Bilson's Costume Institute Gala Look

BellaSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:05:16 -0700

When Rachel chopped her bangs, you were split on whether the cut worked for her. I have no doubt that her Costume Institute Gala hairstyle will inspire debate. It would be difficult for Rachel to look bad, but this hairstyle overshadows her delicate features. Like her former co-star Mischa Barton, she's letting her freckles show through - which is my favorite part of this look.

PopSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 06:19:59 -0800

Rachel Bilson was super busy last week, from catching up with Zach Braff and her boyfriend Hayden Christensen to puckering up with her sweet puppy. Over the weekend she finally found some time to herself to hit the salon since she's in prep mode for all the upcoming premieres she's going to have to attend for Jumper. You guys aren't convinced that Rachel is a-list status yet, but at least she'll look like it on the red carpet.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Rachel Bilson

BellaSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:52:11 -0700

It was all about the hair for Rachel Bilson at tonight's Costume Institute Gala. Long, straight, shiny, perfectly parted, and beautifully brown – all describe what framed Bilson's cute face. Her hair acted as a curtain for the rest of the look which consisted of dramatic eyes - complete with a bit of a smoky hue and false lashes - and subtly rosy cheeks. The lips were equally subdued. This allowed the focus to be placed on her teal dress and that striking hair. You likey?

The Costume Gala Delivers the Glitz and Glamour!

Molly — Tue, 05 May 2009 06:59:00 -0700

The Met's Costume Institute Gala did not disappoint last night in NYC, bringing us one of the most star-studded red carpets of the year. The theme was "Model as Muse," which apparently brought out some interesting fashion choices. Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs were two of the hosts and had all eyes on them when they arrived first and her outfit included a turban. Justin Timberlake was also the man of the evening with Jessica Biel on his arm.

Rihanna switched it up for her first red carpet appearance in months and still looked sexy in her dramatic menswear. Josh Jackson and Diane Kruger can do no wrong in our eyes so it was not a surprise that they're perfectly put together. Something must have gotten into the Gossip Girl ladies because they both went with bold choices - Blake slicked down her hair and showed off a long sexy slit while Leighton might have landed herself on a few worst dressed lists.

In case you missed it, Gisele Bundchen accessorized her hot dress with her new big diamond ring and hot husband. Plus I have to give a shout out to the Olsens who looked totally different but both great. Love Ashley's sexy open back dress. Keep checking back today as Fab and Bella go through the big trends and how tos from all the red carpet looks and before then - Who do you think was best dressed last night?
