Beards of the red carpet: Johnny Depp

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Red Carpet Trends



Although he did get a nomination for his role as the 'Demon Barber of Fleet Street,' Johnny Depp's facial hair control was not quite up to his usual standards. The goatee/mustache combo is a proven look for him, he's stuck with it since his Don Juan days. While last night's goatee was definitely under control, it was lacking a little bit of the usual flair.

I think his shaggy hair took away from the goatee, I kept wanting to reach over a push the hair out of his eyes -- it looked kinda painful. I know Johnny's got to be sick of walking the red carpet by now, but his hair to goatee ratio makes him look like someone who just wants to hide from the media while Daniel Day Lewis takes home the Oscar for Best Actor.

In my opinion, the sulking 'I hate the media' look is never becoming to movie stars -- they should suck it up and try to have some appreciation for the media that supports them. At least Johnny is able to complete the ensemble with a sort of casually worn dinner jacket and bow tie. Personally, I like a more bubbly and colorful Johnny Depp, but maybe playing a serial killer has got him down -- no major fashion errors though.

Beards of the red carpet: Sean Combs

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Red Carpet Trends



If anyone can navigate the intricacies of men's facial hair, it's Sean Combs. What can't the guy do? He's already managed a successful music career, fashion design, and now he's making his way into a nice acting career. His stylish goatee was a nice contrast to a night of facial hair abuse.

First off, the mustache and goatee combo is classic and gives him that urban refined look without upsetting the beard to hair ratio -- way to not rock the full beard. He could balance it out with some wild hairstyle, but Sean likes to keep it subtle, keeping the hair in check and topping it off with some earrings just to represent. The tux is cool, I like the low vest and the wide lapels -- everything about the ensemble is very put together.

Puffy doesn't get much credit for taking risks, but graded on general beard control, he's taking home the award. His goatee says: how about casting me in a lead role, Hollywood? Monday was the premiere of his made for TV version of 'A Raisin in the Sun.'

Can't grow a beard? Get a fake goatee and impress the ladies!

Filed under: Accessories, Men



If you're one of those guys whose beard always grows in patchy, or scraggly, or in some other unattractive fashion, never fear: you're no longer stuck relying on your "boyish charms." With this fake goatee, you can give yourself that manly "edge."

'Cause let's face it: beards are hot. And even better than a full beard, is the meticulously trimmed, finely-shaped, just-a-couple-days-past-stubble look of the thin goatee. While this would normally take hours of work with itty-bitty scissors or some expensive beard trimmer, you can now have the look in seconds with some paste-on hair.

Ok, I'm joking. I think this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. If a woman's only dating you because of your nerdy-looking facial fuzz, you've got bigger problems.

Nevertheless, if you want to give it a try (and can read Japanese), you can order your very on paste-on goatee here.
