Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Another hairstyle that we loved seeing float down the 2015 Grammys red carpet came from starlet Kat Graham. Kat wore her locks pulled back into a very sleek high chignon. Her bun included golden highlights which went very nicely with her skin tone.

Fashion Notes: Graham’s sheer gown was by Yanina Couture which she then accessorized with a clutch by Swarovski, AS29 earrings, Sophia Webster shoes and Carrera y Carrera rings.

Nicki Minaj Returns to Blonde Hair

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 6, 2015Leave a Comment

After several months with Raven black locks and a more reserved look, Nicki Minaj stepped out today back to her Barbz aka Black Barbie days. Besides her bold Versace and Guiseppe Zanotti ensemble what we took note of most was her return to blonde hair. Nicki has worn this hair look before, platinum blonde hair color while keeping dark roots in play.

Nevertheless, so far her fans have had mixed reactions to Minaj’s changed style. Fans on Instagram have given the music star over a million likes that span across the 9 pictures Nicki posted a little over an hour ago. Comments include sentiments that Minaj is the ultimate diva to pleas for the hip hop genius to return to her black hair color. Of course we loved Nicki with darker tresses but as we always say, style is all about self expression. Therefore, if Nicki loves it then Nicki should just rock it!
