The Met Ball 2015: Purple and Blue

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

Celebrities always aim to bring their “A” game for The Met Ball, one of the biggest fashion events of the year. The theme for this year’s gala was “China: Through The Looking Glass.” Starlets and gentlemen arrived to showcase their take and perspective on the night’s theme through their own personal style. Color seemed to be a the way to go and we noticed purple and blues were repeatedly spotted.

Hair of the Week: Zendaya Coleman at 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards

Arianne Suggs April 27, 2015April 27, 2015Leave a Comment

Zendaya looked like an exotic Repunzel walking the red carpet at this year’s Radio Disney Music Awards. The starlet rocked hair down-to-there in soft lush waves that looked like she had just emerged from the ocean waters like Ariel. Alright, alright enough with the fairy tale references, it’s the Radio Disney Music Awards we couldn’t help it! Nevertheless, we digress…we loved Zendaya’s beachy waves and hope that she keeps this look.

Rihanna Dolls Up in Pink Dior Gown for Home Premiere

Our initial reaction to RiRi’s fashion statement at the Los Angeles premiere of animated film Home, was wow she looks like a doll! We are sure if a Rihanna doll made it’s way to the toy aisle Mattel would make a serious grip. We are talking Elmo level pandemonium people… then again that’s the everyday life of Rihanna right now.

RiRi hit the red carpet in a pink satin gown by Dior that made us want to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the 100 million time. Rihanna looked elegant, sophisticated and very old Hollywood glam. We love us some Rihanna whether her style is “badgal” or a conservative good girl.

We can’t wait for the adorableness known as the cartoon movie, Home to slide on into theaters. Until then, we will just hair crush some more on Miss Fenty! Rihanna stunned as per usual at the L.A. premiere of her new flick with locks pulled up into a high bun with a full bang. Great protective hairstyle that is fabulous for spring weather.

Lancôme Announces New Ambassador: Lupita Nyong’o, Academy Award winner for “Best Supporting Actress” for her role as Patsy in the highly acclaimed film “12 Years a Slave”. It’s great to see the shift in Lancôme business model for only catering to lighter skin tones. Lancôme has now had Jasmine Tooke, Arlenis Sosa back in 2008 and now we have Lupita Nyong’o.

“I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history and that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself,” said Lupita Nyong’o about being Lancôme’s new brand ambassador.

The campaign will be seen this summer and will be shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
