Celebrity Secret Weapon: Christina Applegate's Dazzling Braided Updo!
In this episode of Celebrity Secret Weapon, hairstylist Campbell McAuley shows us how to create the divine braided updo he gave Christina Applegate at the 2010 SAG Awards. He breaks down all the steps to this intricate hairstyle and tells us how to incorporate the finishing touch: a diamond hair accessory!
Trend Alert: Chic Retro Updos
Maybe it's because they're in France, or maybe it's just the moment, but yesterday at the opening of Paris Fashion Week lots of stars were wearing chic, retro updos that recalled the prettiest parts of the late '50s and early '60s. Anne Hathaway and Paz Vega both wore sleek styles that recalled Audrey Hepburn, while Kylie Minogue went for straight Jeanne Moreau. Black shades, of course, were de rigueur.
Get Kate Walsh's Loose Sundance Bun
Kate Walsh arrived at Legion's Sundance Film Festival premiere looking enviably glam-casual, with understated makeup and a sweet, messy bun that looked easy and red carpet appropriate at the same time. I think this look would be absolutely perfect for Valentine's Day or a date night—some time you want to look sophisticated but romantic.
To begin, spray wet hair with a lightweight styling spray, like David Babaii Mise En Plise Light Styling Spray ($12.95).
The Top 20 Updo's From The Golden Globes
I would presume, the rain had something to do with last night's Golden Globes hair styling choices, but every time I turned around there was another updo on the red carpet. From Nicole Kidman's side-swooping chignon, to Sandra Bullock's hocus pocus bob and Heather Graham and Mariah Carey's décolleté, err, I mean sleek and pretty ponytails, the hairstyle of the evening was definitely practical, intricate, and helped to showcase the gorgeous baubles and dresses of the night. Take a peek at twenty of these amazing updo's and let me know who you think should win the award for best hairstyle of the evening!
Which Updo Hairstyle Do You Like Most on Mila Kunis?
Last night at The Book Of Eli Premiere in Los Angeles, actress Mila Kunis walked the red carpet looking both sexy and prim in a black one-shouldered dress and her hair slightly teased on the top and pulled into a ponytail in the back. There's something naturally sexy about Mila, maybe it's the shape of her eyes combined with her full bottom lip that has me comparing her to Angelina Jolie in my mind. We've also seen Mila at past Hollywood soirees with a side swooping updo and with her hair styled all back with loose tendrils falling around her face.
How To Get A Side Swooping Updo
Both Melanie Brown and Tori Spelling attended last night's NBC Universal's Press Tour Cocktail Party in Los Angeles donning attention grabbing hair. This off-to-the-side style is a different take on the traditional updo and looks wonderful on women who have trouble looking their best with all of their hair swept back. It has body, style, sophistication and it's practical when you don't want to be bothered having to play with your hair all evening.
Japan Is a Hair-Raising Place
I have no idea what this Japanese commercial for Seiyu stores is saying, but the hair is awesome. It reminds me of Marie Antoinette's enormous sculptural hairstyles, which took the French court by storm and had to have wire underpinnings and horse hair padding. Apparently, though, this commercial is poking fun at himegyaru style, a subculture of girls who wear huge bouffants and dress like princesses.
Love It or Hate It? Victoria Beckham's Twisty Turny Hair
Last night at the Harper's Bazaar dinner for Victoria Beckham's cover at the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, the lady of honour arrived with an intricate updo. Pulled back tightly and created with twists and turns, this look is different than the pixie crop, pob or loose waves style that we've seen her don in the past couple of years. What do you think of this loopy look on Posh?
Get Natalie Portman's Tossed-to-the-Side Updo
When you're lucky enough to have a flawless complexion like Natalie Portman, you could wear a spiked mullet and still look amazing. You could even go bald. (Oh wait, Natalie's already done that.) What I like most about this look, which she wore at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, is that it's not too polished or refined, and it's slightly tousled without being sloppy.
Trend Alert: Faking a Shorter Style
Faking a shorter haircut by means of skillfully placed hair pins is nothing new. In fact, we saw Rosario Dawson do her own faux-crop late last year, followed by Nicole Kidman's asymmetric version. In recent times, the look has taken on resurgence in popularity, as celebrities have been tricking us out with their own adaptations, giving the appearance of freshly cut locks.
