British hairdresser dubbed "a rock star, an artist, [and] a craftsman who 'changed the world with a pair of scissors,'" Vidal Sassoon died at his home in Los Angeles yesterday. Many celebrities, models and people in the industry were saddened by the news...John Barrett of the John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman said that Sassoon "was the creator of sensual hair. This was somebody who changed our industry entirely, not just from the point of view of cutting hair but actually turning it into a business. He was one of the first who had a product line bought out by a major corporation." Sassoon single-handedly built an empire with geometrical, angular takes on the classic bob haircut becoming ...

More at the Met Ball 2012
It is never boring to pick favorites from every red carpet event, here's mine from the recent Met Gala. Sofia's witty and funny antics make me so fond of her that I always look out for her during red carpet events...doesn't she look stunning in this peplum gray/silver dress? Gotta love that smile too! Scarlett Johansson wore a Dolce&Gabbana dress with Christian Louboutin heels and accessorized with a Judith Leiber clutch and Fred Leighton earrings. I would have loved her with an updo or a low chignon than a loose crown though. ‘The Vampire Diaries’ star Nina Dobrev was totally mesmerizing in a Donna Karan Atelier gown. The gown has asymmetric shoulder straps, super long train ...
Jessicas at The Met Gala 2012
The Costume Institute Ball, held yearly for the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum (the Met) in New York is also a parade of beauty, gowns and fashion icons. For this post let's focus on the attendants all hailing the name Jessica. The 31-year-old mom of two rocked a one-shoulder Michael Kors gown with Roger Vivier‘s “Pilgrim Coeur” clutch and Wilfredo Rosado jewelry. Her vampy lips is one of the many at trend that night. Jessica Biel, 30, donned an ivory satin Prada dress adorned with jade green stones and Lorraine Schwartz earrings, while 31-year-old hubby-to-be Justin went for a Tom Ford tuxedo with a satin bow tie and leather boots. Jessica Chastain, arrived clad in a ...
Kate Middleton Wears White Roland Mouret Gown
While celebrities paraded themselves at the Met Gala, Duchess Kate decked out in a floor-length, long-sleeved, creamy white gown by Roland Mouret at the London hotel Claridge's with Prince William, to attend an exclusive Thirty Club dinner... It was the thigh-high slit showcasing one very slender leg, unlike Angelina Jolie's attempt earlier this year, that made the look. She was also wearing Jimmy Choo Vamp heels (costing £450). Kate finished off her evening look with a simple metallic clutch and a pair of drop earrings and topped it all with her simple blow-dried glossy brunette locks. ...

H&M’s eco-friendly Glamour Conscious Collection
High street chain H&M is truly friendly to the budget conscious fashionista. Though at times they collaborate with famous fashion designers as Karl Lagerfeld, Versace and more, they would always bring something from these collaborations that the average salary-woman could afford. H&M is set to launch its eco-friendly Glamour Conscious Collection which as can be recalled included Michelle Williams black-ivory ensemble at the BAFTA awards. A design inspired by the dress will be available at the local stores. The collection is part of H&M’s goal to incorporate more sustainable fabrics into their apparel, an initiative that started in 2004 and has made buyers conscious of the ...
Elie Kemper at the Oscars
--- “Bridesmaids” star Elie Kemper totally shone at the red carpet at the 84th Annual Academy Awards in an Armani Privé gown - literally glittering! Ellie was a head-turner. The gold and topaz accessories from Lorraine Schwartz went well with the fiery strapless gown - look closely to see the embroidered sequins in shades of scarlet, rust and gold. This gown, which comes from the Fall/Winter 2010 haute couture collection, perfectly clung to Ellie's perfect silhouette. Her clutch, a gold-beaded Ferragamo is worth mentioning too. Even her hair in a lovely shade of brownish to match her dress is noticeable, would have loved it parted a bit or without the bangs but that would make her ...
Purple at the Oscars 2012
During Awards Nights when the celebrities go about flaunting their gowns, my favorite colors would be red, nude, pastel shades and of course, purple. This year's Oscars has a scarcity of purple in it so here are three (perhaps only them) --- with shades of or close to purple that stood out during the night. Sarah Hyland dons a flowing Alberta Feretti plum gown which featured a collected bodice ?n? asymmetrical straps. She wore the piece with ease and matched it with a loose, low bun ?n? bronze eye makeup that is simple but elegant. Maya Rudolph in a cap-sleeved purple gown by Johanna Johnson. The gown has a light mermaid silhouetted skirt and is noticeably beautiful with crystal ...

Oscar’s Best Dressed and more
Another night of glamour and lovely gowns, I must say and here's some of the best. Cameron Diaz in a nude Gucci gown with gold beading and cascading ruffles while Gwyneth donned a caped Tom Ford gown. Notice the difference in hairstyle though. --- Penelope Cruz in a flowing periwinkle creation by Armani Privé, perfecting a classic Grace Kelly polish to her ensemble with diamond jewels and shiny curls. --- This pale mint hue, Elie Saab gown on Berenice Bejo certainly is a trademark of the designer's couture piece. Bejo's copper locks went well with the gown and carefully matched with emerald-and-diamond drop earrings. -- Best Actress nominee for My Week With Marilyn Michelle Williams in ...

The 43-year-old was accompanied by her boyfriend Justin Theroux and her father John Aniston (78) for the unveiling of her star on Los Angeles' most famous pavement, the Walk of Fame - honoring Aniston's achievements in film. She was also with costars from her new film, Wanderlust. Just Go With It costar Adam Sandler's speech goes "She prayed for three things. To have everyone in the entire world be fascinated with her haircut, to one day star in a movie about an evil leprechaun who kills people, and most importantly, receive a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. Well today, Jennifer, the trifecta is here." He was ...
Dress up like Miranda
Less is more...especially if you're Miranda Kerr. Orlando Bloom's wife and Victoria's secret angel was seen in a summery tube dress that may seem simple but looks stunning on her. It is but right that husband Orlando says she makes being beautiful 'look easy'. Miranda paired her white-navy knee-length dress with brown wedges which she doesn't really need for her height but as a fashion icon, donning them makes her statement clear. Inspired by Miranda's look, here's a summer getup to match hers, although I'd get a cheaper look alike of the 1,400€ Yves Saint Laurent beige leather chyc tote. ^_^ ...
Michelle Williams dons H&M at BAFTA Awards
Michelle Williams looks stunning at last night's British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) securing her again as one of the best dressed celebrities at awards nights.
