Hair of the Week: 2016 Met Gala

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 4, 2016May 3, 2016Leave a Comment

This year’s hairdos spotted at the 2016 Met Gala were just as exciting as the fashions that accompanied them. It wasn’t just about length or whether strands were up or down. There was one trend in particular that seemed to take the cake among the stars.

Hair color, hair color, hair color and say it with us, hair color! The 2016 Met Gala saw a wide range of hues. The varied looks included all ends of the spectrum. From platinum to rich deep, reddish plums. Highlights were also big on the 2016 Met Gala red carpet. However, enough yapping right? Here is quick breakdown of all the various hairstyles that revived our 2016 Met Gala Hair of the Week Award!

Amandla Stenberg

She literally allowed her hair to be her crown of glory. We absolutely adored her gold hair accessory.

Cynthia Bailey

After the show is the after-party! Reality starlet and model Cynthia Bailey hit the 2016 Met Gala after parties with a voluminous curly fro accented with a crown braid.

FKA Twigs

Here’s how to give those French braids a twist… literally. Twigs wore a braided updo that twisted at the nape up to about center. The look also incorporated hair jewelry that seamlessly went with her designer gown.

Beyoncé

Many could not simply take their eyes off Bey’s backside. We couldn’t either… her sleek tresses with the blonde hair color and highlights were seriously on point!

Zendaya Coleman

This is so modish and elegant we can’t stop staring. This cut is all about precision and execution. If you were born with retro and vintage vibes running through your veins you just gazed upon your new hairstyle.

Kerry Washington

She may have been wearing all black but Kerry’s hair was all types of bold. There was nothing subtle about her hair color that complimented her loose waves. If you’re going to the attend the Met Ball you might as well go all out or just stay home.

Jourdan Dunn

She had us at asymmetrical hair cut. Dunn’s Bob was pure perfection and only seemed to become more stunning from every angle. Moreover, the gray hue with dark roots was just killer.

Nicki Minaj

Her expertly placed platinum hair color showed true craftsmanship. Take note how the color extended all the way to the very tips. Bravo colorist, bravo.

Ciara

She’s currently working on a new album so why not a new hairstyle? CiCi came to slay with vintage waves and metallic silver strands.

Lupita Nyong’o

One of the most talked about hairstyles of the 2016 Met Gala outside of Ciara came via Lupita Nyong’o. Lupita took natural hair to new heights with a five tier updo.

2016 Spring Beauty: Maybelline Purple Lipstick

Arianne Suggs April 1, 2016April 1, 2016Leave a Comment

Honestly, this has to be one of the BIGGEST beauty teases ever! This week Maybelline cosmetics released BTS (behind the scenes) shots of model, Jourdan Dunn, in a brand new must-have lip shade. There was only one problem. The secret lip is a yet to be released Maybelline purple lipstick. God have mercy on all of our beauty souls!

If Maybelline wanted to start a cosmetic frenzy aka World War Lip 3, they definitely got their wish. Lipstick fans immediately began inquiring about the lip tint shrouded in mystery and Maybelline kept their lips sealed. Loving that shade of purple on Dunn? You are so not alone. Here is what other ladies were saying,

“OMG I want this lip color!!”

“Love.”

“This colour.”

“Love the lip.”

Sentiments like the ones above went on and on and on for hours. At this very moment in time, Maybelline has still not said zilch about the purple lip color. Nevertheless, the Maybelline purple lipstick in question fits with their spring 2016 purple collection that they have nicknamed, “the purple posse.” The royal color products include purple liner, shadow and of course lipstick. Could one of these vibrant and bold lip colors from the collection be the lipstick that we seek?!

Only time shall tell when it comes to this little makeup dilemma. We will definitely keep you posted on any beauty developments in regards to the tint name as well as release date. Until then, we will just continue to admire the beautiful shade from afar and slightly hate on Jourdan for having the opportunity to wear it already. Just kidding, we love ya Jourdan!

Zoolander 2 Vogue Editorial Starring Joan Smalls

Arianne Suggs February 5, 2016February 5, 2016Leave a Comment

In this editorial put together by Vogue, Derek Zoolander proves he is a really, really good looking model! We always love when a bit of humor can be reintroduced into the fashion world. Zoolander, the film that made the duck-face pose a mainstream staple is back with a hilarious sequel. Actors Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson began building hype for Zoolander 2 when they walked in the Valentino Fall 2015 runway show. Their unexpected Paris fashion show appearance set the tone of epic style moments to come.

The latest promotion includes a fashion spread in Vogue. Zoolander fiercely models with supermodels Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn and Gigi Hadid. The photos give us life and we can’t stop looking at them. Fan reaction to the Zoolander 2 editorial has been the same, here are a few:

“YESSSS”

“They Slay”

“This is amazing”

“Squad”

“This is for Vogue hahahaha I love it!”

“Why do I love everything about this?”

“This must be what it’s like to be really really good looking!”

“LOL slaying your thinking caps. Slay on slaya… Slay on!”

Yes, the photographs are fabulous and all models involved are slaying. Nevertheless, who is behind the camera is as important as who is in front of it to achieve such greatness. The Zoolander 2 photos were lensed by the iconic Annie Leibovitz. This is Derek Zoolander’s first Vogue cover (LOL).

Whether she is shooting an editorial, attending a fabulous event or chilling with her girls Jourdan Dunn knows how to make her strands the main event! Over the years we have taken note of Dunn’s numerous hair changes. Moreover, her hair has seemed to morph right along with her effortlessly chic style.

Are you in the mood for a little something new in the hair department? Is it time for a change and you are not quite sure which way to go? Well, we would like to believe we are the home of hair inspiration to get you ready for your next hair consultation or appointment. Therefore, feast your eyes on 12 hairstyles worn by the one and only Jourdan Dunn that you just might want to cop next!

It’s the blonde bob cut seen around the world, we love the slight waves too.

Can you say meow? Bring the boys to your yard with long curly hair.

Purple reign, purple reignnnnn! Like what we did there? LOL Excite the hair senses with this extremely bold tint!

Back to the asymetrical bob because it’s just bangin’! Go sleek by keeping the look smooth with a very blunt cut.

Look like the queen you are by fashioning your strands into a halo crown braid.

Simplicity is still bomb, turn heads and look luxuriously elegant with a low ponytail.

These aren’t your twin braids from elementary school, give the look a modern twist by creating fish tail braids.

Volume with retro vibes are fun as well as flirty and gives the most simple style more depth.

Combine hairstyles together in order to achieve one unique look. We love this combination of braids with a long, flowing ponytail.

Jourdan is not afraid of a bottle of hair dye and if hair color makes you see stars then be boisterous and try out bluish gray.

Gawgous….just GAWgous! Straight locks with big shine will make any outfit dazzle.

We will be forever obsessed with braids and love Dunn’s cornrows with tremendous length.

Geek is Chic, Beautiful Black Women That Are Down With 4 Eyes

Arianne Suggs July 22, 2015July 22, 2015Leave a Comment

Nerd, dork, geeky and so drop dead chic! In the days ruled by chalkboards and textbooks most ladies do not want to be known as quintessential “nerd.” However, geek chic style can still be fun, sophisticated and dare we say cool?

There are plenty of ways to allow your inner fashion nerd to escape and be free. Try incorporating a pair of stylish suspenders with a pleated skirt and button down shirt. Or, if you are a shoe fanatic ( it’s okay the first step is admittance LOL) pair your heels with socks and get to strutting your stuff. Moreover, you could also support your favorite comic character by rocking a tee with their image plastered all over it. Extra points if you plan on wearing top related to the Avengers or Wonder Woman. Nevertheless, there is one major accessory that most fashionista’s keep in their back pocket when they are ready be the chic geek.

To pull off this trendy look all a girl really needs is a fashionable pair of glasses. Take being called four eyes as a compliment, because girl you look great! Don’t worry about getting a pair with a prescription unless you need a little help in the eyesight department. A regular pair of bifocals will also not break the bank or set your wallet on fire making it a cheaper trend to indulge in freely.

Celebrities wear the geek chic trend more often than you think and not just to star-studded galas either! We have spotted nerd couture being worn by some of our favorite celebrity gals. Here are just a few:

See, whether you are going for a sophisticated and conservative or relaxed and edgy, a little nerdy flair can help to complete your look. Notice though for the most part the makeup on all the ladies was kept rather simple. With the exception of a pop of color via a red lip, a neutral makeup look will allow the focus to remain on the accessory (glasses). Moreover, let’s face it the glasses may hide all of your hard eye makeup work so if you want to add some beauty boldness it is best to pump up your lips instead.
