Many wake up to the beautiful Tamron Hall bright and early, but we bet viewers have never seen her quite like this! The Today Show co-host had social media burning with her sleek, blunt cut pixie hairstyle. The blunt edges with longer wisps of strands framing Hall’s face gave her short locks a futuristic, modish vibe.

For award season celebrities know that they have to bring it which means fresh, innovative styling. Hall’s hair look for this year’s Golden Globes definitely fit the bill and then some. Tamron’s cut was met with mixed reviews with fans loving the look while others not so much. Some fans even compared Hall’s precision cut to Star Trek.

Tamron who is beautiful inside and out with a great sense of humor took all the social media buzz in stride. Hall even went as far as poking fun at herself on Twitter.

We love that Tamron Hall was a style risk-taker on the red carpet and it paid off. What do you think of Hall’s Golden Globe hairstyle, yay or nay?

Golden Globes 2016: Taraji P. Henson Textured Bob

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 21, 2016January 11, 2016Leave a Comment

From the time she first made her appearance on the red carpet to her epic Golden Globes 2016 win (becoming the third African American woman to win a Golden Globe) Taraji P. Henson oozed Hollywood glamour! Literally, from her head down to her feet, Taraji’s ensemble easily made her a contender for Golden Globes 2016 Best Dressed. In the words of Beyonce, Henson looked absolutely ‘flawless.’

Now in our upcoming post and fashion recap of the 2016 Golden Globes we will get to the nitty gritty of the couture that made up Taraji’s look. Nevertheless, for just a moment can we make it clap for Henson’s hair? Short hair is already sassy, sexy and cool; case in point, Halle Berry yet Taraji added her own flavor.

For her big win Henson adorned her chic bob with some additional texture. Roughing strands up a little bit gave the hairstyle a modern, flirtatious feel. If you love to be bold in the hair department this is definitely the style for you!

Add even more appeal by mirroring Taraji’s deep side part. You will be surprised how changing up your part can change and alter your entire hair look. In the following pic you can clearly see a demonstration of vintage and modern chic. Both styles are classic it just really depends on your own personal style.

Hair Tips: Are you feeling Taraji P. Henson’s texture mane? It still takes precision to make messy hair look “on purpose.” Keep edges in check with an edge control product and don’t allow strands to go to astray with the help of a light holding spray.

Naomi Campbell For Balmain SS16

Arianne Suggs January 8, 2016January 8, 2016Leave a Comment

Many of us are too young to remember the reign of the 80’s supermodels, but a quick google search will clearly show why they were so special. They were gorgeous, talented and did not get out of bed if the money wasn’t right. From magazine covers to editorials, from campaigns to music videos as well as commercials they were like Visa, everywhere you want to be. The 80’s were about extragance and these ladies were the epitome and could do no wrong.

For this reason, we were beside ourselves when we got our first look at the Balmain Paris Spring/Summer 2016 Ad Campaign. Three supermodels that can still slay women half their age had been casted to show off Balmain’s exquisite designs! Proving that age is really just a number Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer brought the heat to spring’s hottest fashions.

The campaign was lensed by Steven Klein with Pascal Dangin as art director. Oliver Rousteing has been teasing fashion fans for a few days now asking were they ready for 2016. Whether they were ready for it or not Oliver put the hammer down and dropped the proverbial fashion mic. With an one-two punch Rousteing seamlessly introduced the fashion world to as he described via Instagram, “iconic history” that involved a true “dream team.” We couldn’t agree more with his sentiments and are thrilled as well as in awe as to what has been created.

As diversity in the fashion world continues to be spread why not toss in the age factor as well? Women do not stop being fashionable entities after the age of 25 even if they are considered veterans in the modeling industry at such a tender age. Therefore, let’s continue to celebrate beauty in all of its numerous forms regardless of color or numerical identification.

Angela Simmons was spotted looking quite spiffy in all black ensemble. While Simmons’ father travels the world it looks like Angela will be busy with a little project of her own. The reason Angela was all dolled up was in order to promote GUHH aka Growing Up Hip Hop that follows a cast of hip hop royalty offspring as they work towards being known outside of just having über famous parents. An issue that even “normal” kids can relate to when it comes to filling mom and dad’s shoes.

The cast includes of course Miss Simmons, Kristinia DeBarge, Damon “Boogie” Dash as well as Romeo Miller to name a few. The dynamic docu-series will air beginning on Thursday, January 14 on WEtv and you are not going to want to miss it!

Now lets quickly get back to that black attire that Angela looked absolutely fantastic in for the promo tour. The black jumpsuit worn by the starlet is by SuperTrash with the accompanying jacket being a design of Foofi and Bella. Angela’s hair and makeup were also very on point thanks to Nikk Rokk (hair) and Mimi Johnson (makeup).

Hair Notes: Long, dramatic flowing waves are a great style to add flair to a rather chic yet subtle outfit.
