The stars came out in full force yesterday to take part in the MTV Movie Awards for 2015. What better place than for celebrities to converge upon Los Angeles, California where stars are truly born in the streets of Hollywood. Fashion statements were made and hairdos kept pace with the various stylish ensembles. Tinashe kept things sleek and simple with a black gown and topknot bun. The ease of her hairstyle allowed the drama and emphasis to remain on her designer threads.

Black Hair Do or Don’t? Giambattista Valli Spring 2015

Arianne Suggs March 5, 2015March 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Here at the office we were kind of torn with this look. Half loved it and the other half loved it too, but felt the look could not be translated for the streets. Is this a look only for the runways never to be repeated in day to day life?

Orlando Pita who styled the model’s hair for the Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 show said the look caused the girls to feel absolutely beautiful. Isn’t that how great hair SHOULD make you feel? Okay, so a point goes to the look itself, but how did Oliver create this style? Pita slipped on a polka veil after first pulling the model’s tresses into a low ponytail. He then secured the look by tying a thick ribbon at the top, fashioning it into a chic cute bow. Oliver said regarding the look, “I’m dressing up the ponytail to give it a couture feel.”

This look brings the drama so of course could not be worn for just any occasion. Nonetheless, a night out on the town or for a fashionable event and this would be a very stylish option. So then, it’s time for you to way in is this hairstyle a do or a don’t?

Would you wear this look? If yes, where would you rock it at? Talk hair with us on our Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or tweet us @1966magazine.

2015 Runway Hair Trend: Head Bands

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015January 30, 2015Leave a Comment

This year achieve no fuss hair by styling your tresses with a head band. Models that walked for French designer Pascal Millet for his Spring/Summer 2015 women’s ready-to-wear collection during Paris Fashion Week sported them super close to the hairline. Straight, curly or wavy hair would all look great with this hair accessory.

Fashion Notes: We love the twisted bandeau top, helps to break up the bold color (showing skin) and adds even more spice to the design.
