<br />
We thought <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/search/?invocationType=topsearchbox&amp;q=Ashley+Greene&amp;submit=submit">Ashley Greene</a> was the most gorgeous gal on the <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/19/twilight-new-moon-taylor-lautner-kellan-lutz/">Twilight red carpet</a> last night. <br />
<br />
And no surprise that it was celebrity hairstylist <a href="http://www.tedgibsonsalon.com/">Ted Gibson</a> who created the gorgeous updo (who, <em>shhh</em>, happens to be at StyleList HQ today filming some top secret videos with us - but more on that later). <br />
<br />
Here's Gibson's lowdown on Ashley's gorgeous look. <br />
<br />
<strong> STYLELIST: What are your tips for creating Ashley's look?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Ted Gibson: </strong>"Start off with a really good blow dry using <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/qxp162983_333181_sespider/ted_gibson/build_it.htm">Build It</a> blow drying spray at the root to create ultimate volume. Apply <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/search/search_results.asp?N=0&amp;Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&amp;Ntk=All&amp;srchtree=8&amp;Ntt=Hairsheet&amp;Go.x=0&amp;Go.y=0">Hairsheet</a> styling on the rest of the hair then blowdry. To create that sexy texture, curl strands with a large barrel curling iron set on medium heat. Place hair into ponytail and finish with <a href="http://www.target.com/Ted-Gibson-Tame-Lotion-8-0/dp/B001KW4GS4">Tame it Shine Lotion</a> for added texture and lightweight shine."<br />
<br />
<strong>STYLELIST: </strong><strong>How do you work with her extensions? </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong>Ted Gibson:</strong><strong> </strong>"Clip ins are the best. It is a piece that gives hair fullness and length for that perfect ponytail that every girl dreams about."<br />
<br />
<strong>STYLELIST: </strong><strong>How do you keep Ashley's hair healthy?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Ted Gibson:</strong> <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/qxp163066_333181_sespider/ted_gibson/goodnite_replenish_hair_repair_serum.htm">Goodnite</a> replenishing hair repair serum is a perfect way to keep hair in good condition and scalps in balance<br />
<br />
<strong>STYLELIST: </strong><strong>What's your preparation like on a day like this, and how long does it take to do Ashley's hair? </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Ted Gibson:</strong><strong> </strong>"It takes over an hour to create sexy, voluminous hair."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/20/ashley-greenes-hip-ponytail/">Get Ashley Greene's Hip Ponytail</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.stylelist.com">StyleList</a> on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:05:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/search/?invocationType=topsearchbox&amp;q=ashley+olsen&amp;submit=submit">Ashley Olsen</a> has gone <em>streaking</em>! <br />
<br />
The fashionable twin flaunted blue and green streaks in her hair for a Tim Burton tribute at The <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=museum+of+modern+art&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a">Museum of Modern Art</a> on November 17.<br />
<br />
Olsen's wildy-colored locks instantly reminded us of a model who strutted in <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/17/fashion-week-backstage-beauty-at-proenza-schouler/">Proenza Schouler</a>'s Spring 2010 runway show with sea green hair. But the <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/18/olsen-twins-wow-in-contrasting-lipstick-shades/">designer-entrepreneur-actress</a> added a feminine touch with loose, tousled <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/07/07/beachy-waves/">waves</a> to frame her rosy cheeks and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/02/stars-in-pink-lipstick/">pink lips</a>. <br />
<br />
Are you feeling this 'do? Is the hairstyle too <em>avant-garde</em>? Or is it a refreshing departure from the red carpet norm?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/20/ashley-olsens-blue-streaked-hair/">Ashley Olsen's Blue-Streaked Hair</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.stylelist.com">StyleList</a> on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:43:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/07/07/beachy-waves/"><br />
<br />
Beachy waves</a> aren't just for the summer time. And at last night's <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/search/?invocationType=topsearchbox&amp;q=GQ&amp;submit=submit"><em>GQ</em></a> "<a href="http://www.gq.com/entertainment/men-of-the-year/2009">Men of the Year</a>" Party, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2008/11/18/amanda-seyfried-in-jay-godfrey-i-want-that/">Amanda Seyfried</a> showed that this classic 'do works in fall, too.<br />
<br />
The "<a href="http://www.mammamiamovie.com/">Mama Mia!</a>" star channeled the '60s with her wavy strands, pulling back pieces at the crown to show off her trademark fresh face.<br />
<br />
To mimic Seyfried's perfect beachy look, celebrity stylist <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/07/07/about-danielle-caputo/">Danielle Caputo</a> suggests curling hair away from the face. "It creates a windswept effect and helps keep it from falling forward," she said. "Use a salt-water spray (which helps create that piece-y texture) at the roots and then all over to add texture."<br />
<br />

Supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/search/?invocationType=topsearchbox&amp;q=Miranda+Kerr&amp;submit=submit">Miranda Kerr</a>, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller and a bevy of other beauties are back in New York City for "<a href="http://www.vsallaccess.com/index.html">the sexiest show on earth</a>." <br />
<br />
And StyleList got a sneak peek as the long-legged ladies glammed up before taking flight on the catwalk. Here are the deets: <br />
<br />
<strong>MAKEUP:</strong> Tom Pecheux<br />
<strong>HAIR: </strong>Laurent Philippon<br />
<strong>BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: </strong>Romantic Voyage<br />
<br />
<strong>THE SCOOP:</strong> <a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/">Victoria's Secret</a> embodies sexy and there is nothing sexier than a confident woman wearing lingerie. So, for the fashion show's return to The Big Apple, the beauty professionals created looks that were sensual, yet natural.<br />
<br />
Makeup artist <a href="http://www.style.com/peopleparties/celebritysearch/person1484/">Tom Pecheux</a> was inspired by the models. "With a lot of new girls on the runway this season, I wanted to make it fresh," he said. "Nothing dramatic...extremely sexy and beautiful. When a lot of the body is showing, you don't want the face to appear made up."<br />
<br />
Pecheux applied pink shimmer all over the face and added individual lashes to accentuate the smoky eye.<br />
<br />
Hairstylist <a href="http://www.callisteparis.com/laurent-philippon-biographie-7-1.php">Laurent Philippon</a> perfected loose waves for a style "that you would want to touch." Armed with hairspray, a curling iron and hair extensions, he added a touch of reality to this VS fantasy.<br />

<br />
"I apologize because that was not my intent," said Banks."It's my number one passion in my life to stretch the definition of beauty. I listen to many heartbreaking stories of women who thought they would be happier if they looked different. I want every girl to appreciate the skin she's in."<br />
<br />
The explanation took up the first seven minutes of her daily talk show, "<a target="_blank" href="http://tyrashow.warnerbros.com/">The Tyra Banks Show</a>" which today featured the contestants from her reality show for aspiring models. She spoke emotionally about her desire to create something beautiful with the shoot, and said she was proud of it. Banks also mentioned her own struggles as a black model in an industry that is dominated by white models.<br />
<br />
One audience member, who had written a letter to Banks, said the episode made her see her own bi-racial heritage in a more positive light.<br />
<br />
The controversial episode of <a href="http://television.aol.com/show/americas-next-top-model/66792/main" target="_blank">"ANTM</a>" sparked debate both in the media and among viewers; some critics saw the use of dark makeup as bordering on blackface.<br />
<br />
In the shoot, models were made up to depict various racial and ethnic combinations, such as "Russian-Moroccan," "Native American-East Indian" and "Botswanan-Polynesian."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/search/?q=Tyra+Banks" target="_blank">Banks</a> said the goal was to create an editorial celebration of the "Hapa," the Hawaiian word and concept of mixed race. Coincidentally, two prominent fashion magazines - <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/13/french-vogue-blackface-model-lara-stone/" target="_blank">French Vogue</a><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/02/blackface-V-model-sasha-pivovarova/" target="_blank">V</a><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span></em><span style="font-style: normal;">-- also recently featured white models painted in dark makeup. <br />

Black (hair<em>, that is</em>) is definitely having its moment. <br />
<br />
From rich espresso to jet black, Hollywood stars, pop singers, and models are <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/27/celebrity-hair-color-disasters/">dying their locks</a> dark this fall.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/supersearch/?q=ashlee+simpson&amp;sort=">Ashlee Simpson-Wentz</a> recently toned down her fiery red strands reportedly in preparation for her new role as Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical production of <a href="http://www.chicagothemusical.com/"><em>Chicago</em></a>. While the rocker <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/11/baby-bumps-pregnant-celebrities-padma-lakshmi/">mommy</a> is no stranger to the dark hue, we are a bit torn on Ashlee's hair transformation. <br />
<br />
Actress <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/16/robin-wright-penn-dark-hair/">Robin Wright</a> nearly sent us into a beauty spiral when she debuted this deep shade at the New York City screening of <a href="http://www.pippalee.com/"><em>The Private Lives of Pippa</em></a>. But Wright's drastic shift from blonde to black brings out her cool, blue eyes and adds warmth to her pale skin. <br />

<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/03/michelle-obama-glamour-cover/">Michelle Obama</a> was quite busy yesterday entertaining guests at the White House for a day of functions, including the <a href="http://www.pcah.gov/cut.htm">Coming Up Taller Awards</a> and a classical music concert. And for both events, the First Lady wore her <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/20/michelle-obama-beauty-evolution/">shoulder-skimming locks</a> in a sleek updo (pictured above).<br />
<br />
While we've previously spotted Mrs. O's hair styled in a <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/07/22/michelle-obama-chops-off-her-hair/">"tuck up,"</a> this polished, yet feminine look is reminiscent of First Ladies of years past. Has Michelle traded in her modern flair for something more classic? What do you think of Michelle's latest 'do? Leave a comment below. <br />

Porcelain skin, blonde hair, blue eyes and a rail-thin body. <br />

That's who Claireece "Precious" Jones sees staring back at her in the mirror. But this "perfect" image is not a true reflection of the troubled, 16-year-old, African American girl. <br />

Yesterday, we reported on <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/19/real-housewives-bethenny-frankel-engaged/">Bethenny Frankel's engagement</a> to now-fianc&eacute; Jason Hoppy. <br />
<br />
But "<a href="http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city">The Real Housewives of New York City</a>" star has much bigger news: She's expecting her first child!<br />
<br />
After word of the pending nuptials spread across the Web like wildfire, Frankel told <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20314155,00.html">People</a> that she felt rushed into revealing that she is nearly two months <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/celebrity-style/hottest-celebrities/pregnant-stars">pregnant</a>.<br />
<br />
"It's not like, 'Did I Get <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/celebrity-style/hottest-celebrities/celebrity-plastic-surgery">Botox</a>?' It's not the way I wanted it to get out," Frankel told People. "I haven't even gone through my first trimester. We haven't even heard the heartbeat. My [fianc&eacute;'s] parents didn't even know." <br />
<br />
And while Frankel admits that she and Hoppy are planning to wed before the arrival of the baby, we can't help but wonder if that's the reason they got engaged in the first place. <br />
<br />
Which begs the question, did he really propose this summer, yet she didn't accept until Oct. 8? Or is this the story we're supposed to believe so it doesn't look like a shotgun wedding?<br />

</div>
<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/09/bethenny-frankel-and-rachel-zoes-twitter-war-of-words/">Bethenny Frankel</a>, the non-housewife from "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city">The Real Housewives of New York City</a>" will soon join the ranks of her costars. <br />
<br />
Frankel said "yes" to now-fianc&eacute; Jason Hoppy, who she'd been dating for 11 months. According to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20313552,00.html">People</a>, Hoppy, 38, popped the question this summer but had to wait until now for the beauty's answer.<br />
<br />
"It feels great, because I'm with the right person," Frankel, 38, told People. "He may be regretting it because it's been beyond a week and he's in panic mode - [but] no, we're enjoying it."<br />
<br />
Hoppy <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20313552,00.html">reportedly</a> showered Frankel's Upper East Side pad with candles and rose petals (and even dressed up her dog, Cookie) before surprising the reality TV star with a 6.50-carat pear-shaped center stone diamond ring accented with two side stones from jeweler Kristen Farrell. Um, the ring is a total of 8 carats!<br />
<br />
And with that big of a rock, she had to accept! <br />

Today is National Boss Day! <br />
<br />
We're sure you've scored major brownie points by leaving a stylish greeting card on your employer's desk. But if that didn't earn you a comp day, maybe you should consider working for one of the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
    <li><strong>Anna Wintour</strong> - Even if you haven't updated your wardrobe with any <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/fall-style/fall-fashion/real-women-wear-fall-trends">chic fall pieces</a>, don't fret. The Vogue editrix is no stranger to <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/25/anna-wintour-repeat-offender/">outfit repeats</a> herself.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Maurice Sendak</strong> - Standout from co-workers by attending weekly staff meetings in a <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/28/where-the-wild-things-are-movie-clothing-accessories/">furry jumpsuit</a> <em>&agrave; la</em> "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/where-the-wild-things-are/24823/main" target="_blank">Where the Wild Things Are</a>."</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Ralph Lauren</strong> - <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/15/ralph-lauren-ad-distorted-skinny-model/">Photoshop</a> skills? You're golden. (Have you seen the <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/14/ralph-lauren-distorted-ad-skinny-model-fired-for-being-fat/" target="_blank">controversial ad</a>?) Plus, you can bust out all of your <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/16/michelle-obama-goes-back-to-her-signature-style-its-a-cinch/" target="_blank">Michelle Obama</a>-inspired belts -- this company clearly likes a defined waist.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Garth Brooks</strong> - Black jeans probably not optional, but with news that the <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/20/kenny-chesneys-new-clothing-line-and-fashion-mobile/" target="_blank">country superstar</a> is coming out of retirement, you could follow suit and stop working temporarily, too. Next thing you know, you'll be bikini-clad somewhere in The Bahamas.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Karl Lagerfeld</strong> - Warning! "<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/12/karl-lagerfeld-defends-skinny-models-no-one-wants-to-see-roun/">Fat mummies</a>" who down greasy potato chips while watching soap operas need not apply. (That's from the Kaiser himself.) Though, you'd probably get a discount on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/06/lily-allen-hits-the-chanel-runway/">Chanel</a> Cocoon bag and be able to listen to music, well, if it's <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/06/lily-allen-hits-the-chanel-runway/" target="_blank">Lily Allen</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Meghan McCain </strong>- Her dad may be on the conservative side, but this political wild child is not likely to enforce any kind of dress code. So, stock up on the <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/fall-style/fall-fashion/real-women-wear-fall-trends">cleavage-baring tanks</a>.</li>

<br />
This season, celebrities are taking it all off - their hair, that is! <br />
<br />
Canadian model Irina Lazareanu sparked the trend when she debuted a shorter coif on the catwalk during <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/fashion-week">Spring 2010 Fashion Week</a>. <br />
<br />
And <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/17/mary-j-blige-alicia-keys-and-serena-williams-party-with-gucci/">Mary J. Blige</a>, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/03/18/ginnifer-goodwin-in-ysl-i-want-that/">Ginnifer Goodwin</a>, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/15/michelle-williams-opens-up-to-vogue-about-life-after-heath-ledge/">Michelle Williams</a>, and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/06/dancing-with-the-stars-kelly-osbourne-reveals-body-spray-burns/">Kelly Osbourne</a> have all resurfaced with a boyish reinterpretation of the famous <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/hair-styles/hair-trends/pixies-cuts">pixie</a> (&agrave; la Mia Farrow). <br />
<br />
And we must admit that the <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/hair-styles/haircut-and-style/christo-short-hairstyles">short haircut</a> is a breath of fresh air in an industry filled with long-haired beauties. <br />

<ul>
    <p class="caption">Boy meets girl this fall as the fashionable set takes it all off - their hair, that is. From sleek and shiny to piecey and edgy, the boy crop is the 'do of the season.<br />
    <br />
    A trend at New York Fashion Week, models and celebrities alike (Mary J. Blige, Kelly Osbourne, Pixie Geldof and Ginnifer Goodwin are just a few) have been spotted sporting shorter coifs. <br />
    <br />
    We caught up with celebrity hairstylists Anh Co Tran of the Neil George Salon in Los Angeles and Patrick Melville of the Patrick Melville Salon and Spa in New York City for the scoop on the resurgence of this boldly feminine look and expert advice on how to recreate the style yourself.</p>
    <p class="credit">Getty Image/ WireImage</p>
    <p class="caption">Actresses Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn and model Twiggy popularized the pixie cut back in the 1950s and 1960s -- helping to transform society's perception of beauty.<br />
    <br />
    "No matter the decade, short hair on woman suggests an air of rebellion, liberation and freedom," said Tran. "The pixie can be traced as far back as Joan of Arc. While showing strength and courage, it highlights a woman's feminine features."<br />
    <br />
    And Melville points out that the hair style is like anything else that's in fashion. "Everything comes back in time," he said. "We've done it all before but we do it again with a twist."</p>
    <p class="credit">Getty Images</p>
    <p class="caption">Ginnifer Goodwin gave us quite the shock (<em>but in a good way</em>) when she switched out her wholesome, medium-length bob for this much shorter 'do.<br />
    <br />
    The "Big Love" star's polished cut is a refreshing departure from the extreme lengths we often see on the red carpet. To get Ginnifer's sophisticated look, use a lift spray like Neil George Volumizing Spray. Create a side part and brush strands back with a paddle brush.</p>
    <p class="credit">Mathew Imaging/WireImage</p>
    <p class="caption">Kelly Osbourne has gone Hollywood with this glamorous take on the pixie. While the rocker child never bores us with constant hair transformations, this is a style we'd like to see her stick with for more than a mere millisecond. <br />
    <br />
    With its longer bangs and shorter sides, this look works best on rounder faces. And whether you're platinum blonde like Kelly or a proud brunette, use a polish like K&eacute;rastase Lait Nutri-Sculpt to add shine.</p>
    <p class="credit">Jeff Vespa, WireImage</p>
    <p class="caption">Mary J. Blige's two-toned cut accentuates her almond-shaped eyes and gorgeous complexion. And if you have an oval face like the R&amp;B diva, your styling options are endless! <br />
    <br />
    Play up your features with short or long bangs. Sweeping hair to the side also opens up the face. But remember to maintain a feminine touch with tousled ends and interior texture for the appearance of movement.<br />
    <br />
    And for women of color with tighter curls, try using a relaxer to neutralize strands.</p>
    <p class="credit">Amy Sussman, Getty Images</p>
    <p class="caption">London socialite and model Pixie Geldof's bad girl coif is oh so sweet. The soft pink hue adds an unexpected prettiness to the go with the flow 'do. <br />
    <br />
    To recreate the choppy, spiky effect, mold strands with a hair dressing like Murray's Pomade. Generally used for African-American hair, this waxy product is great for all hair types.</p>
    <p class="credit">Dave M. Benett, Getty Images</p>
    <p class="caption">As <em>Vogue's</em> October cover girl, Michelle Williams channels Mia Farrow circa "Rosemary's Baby." But the actress puts a modern spin on the classic cut with soft, round layers.<br />
    <br />
    To get Michelle's simple, yet chic 'do, hydrate locks with a light spray like Neil George Detangle Nourishment Spray before drying. And finish with a styling cream like KMS Hair Play Hyper Paste.</p>

    <p class="caption">The fashion world went crazy when Canadian model Irina Lazareanu said goodbye to her long locks and hello to a short, bowl cut -- sparking a trend from the catwalk to the red carpet.<br />
    <br />
    And like a true trendsetter, Irina shows off how accessories such a black velvet hat can add a girly touch to a boyish hairstyle.</p>
    <p class="credit">Pascal Le Segretain, Getty Images</p>
    <p class="caption">Christina Ricci hopped back on our radar when she was spotted out in and about in Santa Monica, CA, sporting this cut. The raven-haired actress' crop crosses bowl and pixie for a look that screams beautiful androgyny. <br />
    <br />
    The secret to Christina's look is long, side swept bangs and a short, layered back.</p>
    <p class="credit">INF</p>
    <p class="caption">British starlet Carey Mulligan is one of the latest actresses to garner Hollywood's attention in "An Education." And she definitely caught ours with her cute, Audrey Hepburn-esque auburn 'do. <br />
    <br />
    For Carey's red carpet-worthy look, create a barely there part and comb bangs across forehead for a feathered effect.</p>

<br />
Her cosmetics collection, <a href="http://www.mallybeauty.com/">Mally Beauty</a>, has introduced women to high-performance cosmetics. <br />
<br />
And now the makeup maven is breaking into new territory with the launch of an eponymous fragrance. <br />
<br />
StyleList caught up with Roncal in New York City to get the scoop on the scent.<br />
<br />
After coaxing from her faithful followers, Roncal thought it was time to make a foray into fragrances. And much like her personality, she "wanted it to be effervescent, bubbly, and happy."<br />
<br />
Roncal worked with noted perfumery, <a href="http://www.givaudan.com/givcom/jsp/channelViewUtil.jsp?channel=Home">Givaudan</a>, to create a feminine floral that is clean, yet pretty, and will appeal to all types of women.<p><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/08/mally-roncal-to-launch-signature-fragrance/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Mally Roncal to Launch Signature Fragrance</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/08/mally-roncal-to-launch-signature-fragrance/">Mally Roncal to Launch Signature Fragrance</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.stylelist.com">StyleList</a> on Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:00:00 EST.

</div>
<!--END HERE-->Over her 20 years in the spotlight, we've watched <a href="http://www.mariahcarey.com/splash/index.html">Mariah Carey</a> evolve from a skinny girl with a mind-blowing octave range to a curvaceous, vocal powerhouse, who is comfortable with the woman she's become, though not without some lingering self-doubt.<strong><br />
<br />
</strong>To get there, Carey told StyleList in a candid interview, she's had to overcome her own insecurities<strong>:<br />
<br />
</strong>"Growing up and being half-black, half-white, I felt weird; I didn't look like anybody. My friends were all different from me. No one knew how to fix my hair. My facial features stood out. And I know we [mixed people] all say that. But even though I've grown since, some of those things still remain with me."<br />
<br />
Now, at 40, the same confidence that's allowed her to be refreshingly frank about her anxieties has also launched Carey into what may be the most successful chapter of her career.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shop.elizabetharden.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3061292&amp;cp=2879146&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=Designer/Celebrity&amp;utm_term=Mariah+Carey+Forever+Fragrance&amp;gclid=CNqk7MaamJ0CFVRM5QodwDgT8A">Forever by Mariah Carey</a>, her third fragrance, debuted this month and she is garnering critical acclaim for her role in the movie "<a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/05/14/trailer-for-mariah-carey-and-lenny-kravitzs-precious-hits-the-net/">Precious</a>," which opens in theaters on Nov. 6. <br />
<br />
The film was produced by Oprah and required Carey to courageously face cameras <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/09/18/mariah-careys-hardest-precious-challenge-going-with-no-makeup/">wearing zero makeup</a>. <strong><strong><br />
<br />
</strong></strong>Not this glam girl's usual style. Her go-to lip shade? "I like <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/">NARS</a>... like a clear, pinkish gloss," she told us.<br />
<br />
And her biggest beauty addiction won't fit into a makeup bag -- it's the man who puts the fab in her honey-<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/hair-styles/hair-style-flipbook/blonde-hair">blonde locks</a>. <br />
<br />
When we asked about her beauty must-have, Carey had one answer: "Rourke [<a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/mariah-careys-allure-cover-shoot/1583592/2839390/photo.jhtml">Ken O'Rourke</a>] to do my hair!"<br />
<br />
Today, Carey also made a soulful return to her R&amp;B roots with the release of her new album, fittingly entitled <a href="http://music.aol.com/album/memoirs-of-an-imperfect-angel/1525356">"Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel</a>." <br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/shopping/look-for-less/rihanna">Rihanna</a> is constantly evolving her hair style, keeping us beauty watchers on our toes. <br />
<br />
But when the Barbadian beauty hit <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/fashion-week">New York Fashion Week</a> on September 10th with a touch of blonde highlights, we had no idea that the streaking would continue, sprinting its way into a full-fledged hair trend. You see, Rihanna was spotted on the New York streets this past Tuesday with a <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/23/rihanna-blonde-highlights-hair-style/">punchier, stripy 'do,</a> rife with thin honeyed highlights that channeled the rebellious 80s. <br />
<br />
We spoke with <a href="http://www.ursulastephen.com/">Ursula Stephen</a>, the singer's hair stylist, who told us "Rihanna and I felt that it was time to play around with some color," she said. "We used extensions to create this look."<br />
<br />
About 24 hours later, songstress Chrisette Michele and rapper Eve attended the <a href="http://www.theboombox.com/2009/09/24/dmx-comes-out-of-hiding-for-2009-hip-hop-honors/">VH1 Hip Hop Honors</a> with similar looks. <br />
<br />
Coincidence? Or a full fledged trend? We'll go with the latter. <br />
<br />
If you're a fan, take a cue from Stephen and update your strands by adding a few blonde pieces. You can always remove them if the look doesn't work for you!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/26/80s-blonde-streaks-rihanna-reignites-a-classic-hair-trend/">'80s Blonde Streaks - Rihanna Reignites a Classic Hair Trend</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.stylelist.com">StyleList</a> on Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:00:00 EST.

<!--END HERE--> Luxury skincare brand <a href="http://www.laprairie.com/">La Prairie</a> is adored by the well-heeled set for anti-aging treatments that incorporate such rarefied ingredients as <a href="http://www.shoplaprairie.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=12">caviar</a> and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/03/27/la-prairie-skin-caviar-crystalline-concentre-are-diamonds-your/">diamonds</a>. <br />
<br />
But the company is breaking new ground with the introduction of <a href="http://lifethreads.com/">Life Threads</a>, a trilogy of fragrances they're marketing to a broader spectrum of beauty fans. <br />
<br />
Packaged in sleek, lucite bottles and wrapped in strands of the various metals, the trio - Silver, Gold, and Platinum - were mixed to take wearers on a sensory journey, honoring the milestones and memories of a woman's life. La Prairie President - and Platinum wearer - Lynne Florio says, "With Life Threads, we aimed to create a provocative portfolio of fragrances that spoke to the different dimensions of a woman."<br />
<br />
To bolster the launch with a larger audience, yesterday at an event in New York City La Prairie unveiled a multi-media promotional strategy that weaves in music, film, and social-networking (YouTube and Facebook), and will launch October 1st on their <a href="http://www.laprairie.com/">website</a>. <br />
<br />
The company collaborated with singer-songwriter <a href="http://www.lucykaplansky.com/site">Lucy Kaplansky</a> (who penned the song "Life Threads" to resonate the spirit of the fragrances) and New York-based production company MakeBelieve (who translated the sensory experience into nine mini-films) to add visual interpretations, which they've coined "retailtainment," to inspire and connect women. </div><p><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/25/life-threads-la-prairies-new-fragrance-trilogy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Life Threads - La Prairie's New Fragrance Trilogy</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/25/life-threads-la-prairies-new-fragrance-trilogy/">Life Threads - La Prairie's New Fragrance Trilogy</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.stylelist.com">StyleList</a> on Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:00:00 EST.
