Ashlee Simpson : ‘Pixie’ Clad In Tow !

Ashlee Simpson showed off her new blonde haircut as she left the Ritz in NYC yesterday, where she’s been with her family after arriving in the city with Bronx earlier this week.

Her hubby Pete Wentz is working on music with his band Black Cards and her sister Jessica is working there this week. Ashlee has spoken out about supporting her sister and her man Eric Johnson, whose divorce has just been finalised.

Lindsay Lohan : Back To Her Roots !

Perhaps Lindsay Lohan wanted to wash the past few months right out of her hair.

This morning, the 24-year-old actress stepped out in Los Angeles sporting a brand new strawberry blonde hair do.

And with the star recently saying she ‘wants her career back,’ it’s maybe no surprise that she has returned to the colour which saw her become a star in films like The Parent Trap and Mean Girls.

And Lohan’s blonde hairstyle certainly hasn’t brought her much luck of late.

She was wearing her hair in the lighter shade back in July when she was sentenced to 90 days in prison for violating the terms of her probation for two DUIs.

She then completed 23 days in rehab and was released at the end of last month.

Today her red hair complemented her green studded hoodie, black leggings and black boots as she visited a court house in the Santa Monica area of Los Angeles to undergo a mandatory drug test.

Style Weekly : Two-Toned Hair Locks

From anti-aging haircare to the perfect hair cut, Hollywood divas are always in on the latest ways to have healthy, youthful-looking locks.

And now a hair color effect called ombre is steadily becoming a celebrity and city girl favorite. “Ombre” literally means gradation in French, which refers to the dark-to-light fade of color that is used in the technique. Instead of color that starts at the root, darker roots blend into a lightened mid-shaft and end.

It’s a beachier, more natural looking version of the enduring “visible root” trend.

“I think it speaks to the overall organic and sustainable trend going on right now. No one wants to spend all of their time in the salon anymore, and this look means longer time between visits because it’s so natural-looking. There’s no color line of demarcation at your roots,” says Dimitrios Tsioumas, creative color director of New York and Boston’s Mizu salons, where colorists perform the effect.

The term was taken from the fashion world, where the ombre style of diffusing color is used for fabric, and is most often seen in kimonos.

“In the hair industry, we like to translate what we see in the fashion industry into hair. We’ve seen many designers showcase the ombre effect in their collections. We’re making it more natural and softer to fit into our current lifestyles,” adds Tsioumas.

As we told you last season, starlets like Ashlee Simpson are bucking conventional hair colour for the two-toned effect. The best way to achieve this look, says veteran colourist Douglas Timleck of Salvatore Leonetti Salon in Toronto, is to use a highlighting method called balayage. Instead of the usual foils or cap, “it’s hair painting that starts from the roots or lower down the strands.”

Timleck stresses that if done in a “softer, more natural method, a lot of women can carry off this look well.” Rachel Bilson’s style, for example, shows off subtle gradations on beachy highlights.

This hairstyle “works very well for younger people with a strong sense of themselves and their fashion direction,” say Timleck. Drew Barrymore’s dark crown and peroxide-dipped tips are extremely directional.

We also adore Nicole Richie’s warm iteration, which was created by celeb-fave George Papanikolas of the Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood. Papanikolas first took Richie’s hair several shades darker to a medium light brown, and then used balayage technique to add highlights, starting at her natural center part. Using bleach, he painted golden blonde v-shaped tips on the ends of her hair. Then, to graduate the color, he went through her hair in big horizontal sections, backcombing each one before applying bleach in an arrow shape to the ends of the hair.

Another essential to consider about this style is the use of complementary tones. Leighton Meester’s bleached out waves are blended perfectly into her colour. Timleck says “it’s a must.”

Papanikolas applied a similar regime for Shanae Grimes’ shoulder-length locks. First he gave her balayage highlights to add progressively lighter color to her hair, followed by a round of bleach at the tips to emphasize the contrast.

Lindsay Lohan also loves keeping her ends light and roots darker. Lilo looks super hot in this amazing hair color.

Style Weekly : Fall’s Hottest Hairstyles in 3 Steps or Less!

Sleek Side-Part

Taylor Swift’s pin-straight strands “add an edge without taking away from her dress,” says the singer’s stylist Jemma Muradian. “It’s a smart look that goes well with fall fashion.”

STEP ONE Flip head upside-down and blow-dry hair. Gently rake hands through hair, but keep strands from looking greasy by limiting contact with the roots: “Touching your scalp causes it to release natural oils,” explains Muradian.
STEP TWO Flat iron side-parted locks with one slow movement from roots to ends and spritz with hairspray

Polished Bedhead
Zoe Saldana’s glossy, tousled locks “blend femininity and sexiness, with a slight edginess,” says Tresemme stylist, Mara Roszak, who created this look.

STEP ONE Comb anti-frizz cream through damp hair and blow-dry smooth.
STEP TWO Beginning an inch away from the roots, create loose curls with a medium iron. “Let the strands twist naturally as they wrap around the barrel,” advises Roszak.
STEP THREE Shake hair out with fingers and mist with finishing spray.

High, Textured Bun
“This updo is everything that Vanessa Hudgens is: hip, current, casual and sexy,” says the actress’s stylist Bruce Wayne.

STEP ONE Apply thickening cream to damp hair and blow-dry with a large round brush for volume.
STEP TWO Mist-in shine spray. Pull hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic.
STEP THREE Gently wrap locks to form a bun and hold the updo in place with hairspray and “as many bobby pins needed to make it feel secure,” says Wayne.

Soft, Bouncy Curls

Katy Perry’s stylist Danilo created “glamorous, yet effortless looking” spirals for the MuchMusic Video Awards.

STEP ONE Mist well-conditioned hair with leave-in conditioner and volumizer before blow-drying.
STEP TWO Side-part hair and set with large rollers. Curl the bangs and crown backwards and wrap the sides under and down. “The direction of the set is key, because it creates the volume and flow of the finished style,” says Danilo.
STEP THREE Once hair cools, work styling cream through the spirals with fingers and spray with texturizer.

Jessica Alba : Cosmopolitan September ‘Stunner’

Jessica Alba strikes a pose on the September 2010 cover of Cosmopolitan, on stands next week. Here’s what the 29-year-old actress opened up about:

On being a bit shaky about her future: “I was always insecure about belonging and felt that my success was probably going to go away, so I’ve overcompensated.”

On first meeting her now-husband Cash Warren: “Right after I met him, I called my best friend and was like, ‘I met this guy and I feel like I’ve known him forever and I’m gonna know him for the rest of my life.”

On depending on her hubby: The romantic stuff comes and goes, but it’s like, does that person have your back? You have to be a team navigating through wherever life may lead you and I want a friend for that.”

Jennifer Lopez : Glamour Magazine September ‘Fierce’

Poured into a sexy leopard-print Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit and curve-hugging black pants, mother-of-two Jennifer Lopez proves she’s still got it on Glamour’s September cover.

With her lips snarling seductively and one hand placed confidently on her hip while the other paws at her ponytail, the catlike 41-year-old embodies the very words she purrs in her interview: “That tiger,” she says of herself, “is still in there.”

Inside the magazine, Lopez further unleashes her animal instinct in a series of sultry poses for photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.

In one, she gives a naughty sideways glance as she enters a room in a cheetah-print Patricia Underwood hat, cheetah-print Rochas coat and bag, and a brown bustier-style Giles dress.

In another, the Bronx native wears her hair in a full lion’s mane, leaning toward a house of cards as if she’s about to pounce in her lacy Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit and full black Prada skirt.

Cheetah-print Christian Louboutin flats rest at her side.

If you think these are the kinds of uber-glam outfits a diva like J.Lo wears as she whips up traditional Puerto Rican dishes for hubby Marc Anthony and chases her 2-year-old twins Max and Emme around the house… well, you wouldn’t be far off.

“I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life,” Lopez tells Glamour. “I am kind of like that at home. Do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.”

But getting into that slinky dress does take work, admits Lopez, who found it challenging to lose her pregnancy pounds.

“I did the triathlon six months after the babies were born, and part of that was about giving myself a goal. Maybe it was an emotional thing: Like, that tiger’s still in there,” explains the singer/actress/entrepreneur.

“But it takes a year [after pregnancy]. You’re not going to get slim in six weeks. For me, it’s been back and forth. Now, two years later, I feel really back to normal.”

Yeah, but would she do another triathlon? “I would if I didn’t have to swim in the ocean. That really scared me!” says Lopez. “If it were in a pool, I’d do it again in a minute.”

Rihanna : New Neck Tattoo ‘Rebelle Fleur’ !

Rihanna has gone under the needle again recently to add to her growing collection of body art.

The Rude Boy singer gave up some more space on her neck for the latest tatt, which says “rebelle fleur”.

For those of you who are not multi-lingual like myself – that’s English, French and Scottish of course – the tattoo means rebellious flower.

Rihanna, who is currently riding high in the charts with her collaboration with Eminem, has revealed she has over a dozen inkings on her body.

The 22-year-old has admitted she has an addiction to tattoos and, so far, has 14 (that are visible) dotted around her body.

She once said: “I like hanging out in tattoo shops.

“I am so intrigued by tattoos. It’s an entire culture, and I study it. Sometimes I go with friends, or just by myself. I get bum-rushed, but I don’t care. I don’t take security.”

Style Weekly : Sienna Miller ‘Modern Style’

Sienna Miller is a modern-day It girl with a style that is both modern and retro at the same time. Her look is one that lots of girls emulate in order to get the effortless style that she exudes.

Boho Chic

Though Sienna Miller resists the label of Boho Chic, this is a style that fits her tastes perfectly. It consists of pieces that call to mind the hippie look of the 60s with a modern twist. The look requires a lot of loose, flowy pieces that are long and patterned.

To get this look, find shirts that are peasant-style shirts that are loose fitting. The shirts can have an empire waist or they can have no tailored waist at all. Instead of paisley or other 60s-style prints, look for floral prints or stripes. Often, she chooses peasant blouses that are strapless. These give her the carefree, effortless look that she is famous for.

Wear low-rise pants with the flowy tops to complete this look. The pants should be light in color and they should fit loosely. Frayed jeans are the perfect way to set off the Boho Chic look. To finish it, choose jewelry that is simple and not too showy. Wear just one ring and one bracelet and skip the necklace in order to get this look.

Sack dresses are a part of this look and can be worn to formal events. She often wears a simple sack dress with a few small pieces of jewelry. If the sack dress has any crocheting on it, it will make the look even more authentically Sienna Miller.

80’s Style

When she isn’t in her Boho Chic outfits, Sienna Miller is sporting a hip 80s style. This style is all about geometric shapes, patterns and bold colors.

To get this look, choose pants that have a natural waist and pair it with a short jacket. Sometimes she wears a short denim jacket that matches her jeans or that is a few shades lighter. Her jackets have straight lines and are simple in style. She likes to wear black and white outfits to present a bold color contrast.

Jeans

When in her 80s –style outfits, Sienna Miller wears a lot of skinny jeans. Her jeans are usually dark and are cuffed at the ankle. Choose designer jeans to get the full Sienna Miller look. In the summer, choose skinny denim capris that are dark blue. Whether you choose jeans or capris wear them as tightly as possible to get Sienna Miller’s style.

Shoes

Platform shoes are a 60s staple that Sienna Miller likes to wear. Choose ones that have a wooden platform to get the right look for most outfits. Other times, Sienna Miller wears wedge heels, often with a wooden wedge. For formal occasions, she wears strappy stiletto heels. Choose neutral colors so that the shoes don’t outshine the rest of the outfit. On casual days, choose dark-colored flats that match the rest of the outfit. A pair of black or dark blue flats complements a pair of jeans well.

Style Weekly : Celebs Heart ‘Hippie Style’

Hippies were all about peace and love in the 1970s. They were fun-loving, war-hating, drug dealing sweethearts that eventually became CEOs of the major corporations that they despised. Somewhere in the magic of the 70s, hippies developed their own brand of fashion. It was a convenience, easy style that still inspires two generations later.

If you weren’t around in the 70s, you may only be relying on old photos, television, or other people’s memories to understand hippie fashion. Comfort was the primary emphasis for hippie fashion. They weren’t interested in very structured looks. Their clothing and appearance was very free-flowing and open. Of course, hippies were also counter-culture. They sought to do what was different from mainstream society. Hippies would never have worn a suit and tie. They would never cut their hair. They were peaceful, but dogmatic rebels.

Women wear bell bottom jeans with ironed on patches. If you want to look more feminine, wear a long, flowing dress, or a peasant skirt. Hippie women loved bohemian clothes, especially the peasant blouses and skirts with printed designs on them. Sometimes, hippies wore mini-skirts or mini-dresses.

Hippie women looked similar to men with long, straight hair. They would add freshly picked flowers to their hair. Some hippie women would take several daisies, or similar flowers, are string them together, creating a band. They would then wear the flower band around their hair. Fabric head bands were also popular, along with head scarves.

Hippies always wore sandals or flip flops whenever possible, and in the winter, they wore boots. Women wore boots also, with their dresses. Women never wore high heels. Make sure you wear the flattest shoes possible to carry off this look. Always get into the easy-going spirit whenever you dress like a hippie, because that’s the most important part of the equation.

Sweaters

Ashley Tisdale often wears sweaters when she’s out shopping or having lunch. Her sweaters are usually long and neutral colored to go with whatever outfit she’s wearing.

Pants

Her pants generally come in dark blue, black or white. Often she wears Capri pants that are cut just below the knees. She loves to pair her Capri pants with high heel shoes. She has worn these shoes in beige with several outfits. While she loves to wear high heels, she also wears moccasins of flats with pants. To find shoes that are in a typically Ashley Tisdale style, look for ones with fringe, bows, beads or any other details that make the shoes more eye-catching. The more details they have, the better. She also loves cutout shapes and peep-toe shoes. Look for neutral colors or pastels when shopping for Tisdale-style shoes to pair with your Tisdale-style outfit.
