When Bad Pixies Happen to Gorgeous People

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

We love Cate Blanchett. She is stunning and elegant and seriously can do no wrong in our eyes.  We reported on her new pixie cut earlier this summer and were initially enamored by it.  But then it started growing out. And now it looks like this.

Now kids, try not to be distracted by Cate’s gorgoeus, glowing porcelain skin and sparkling eyes…. admit it- the hair could be a blonde version of Jim Carey’s ‘do from Dumb & Dumber. Thank goodness her bangs are long enough to be swooped to the side.

Pixies are a difficult style to pull off…. and even more difficult to grow out! What are your thoughts on Cate’s gamine tresses? Tell us in the comments, lovies.

Natalie’s Venice Updo

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Oh you know we love a good updo! Natalie Portman attended the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Venice Film Festival to premiere her film, Black Swan, with an absolutely stunning ‘do.

She’s also rocking a bright red Rodarte dress that kind of looks like kitschy promwear to us, but that’s okay.  The updo is phenomenal. It appears to be a side chignon with a small braid or twist at the nape of the neck. Beautiful, no?

Check out the pics below for different views of Natalie’s locks. Black Swan, which premieres this December, is a thriller about a veteran ballet dancer (Natalie) and her cunning rival, played by Mila Kunis.  Check out the trailer here. It’s intense. The film looks very All About Eve and Single White Female… but with a ballet backdrop. Hmmm.

The color is beautiful as well. We love all the caramel highlights we’ve been seeing for Fall, don’t you?

Take a look at her back muscles in this third photo. Ridiculous. Excuse us while we head to the gym.

Hair Crush: Dianna Agron

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Okay, Lea Michele… move on over for just a minute. There are other cast members on Glee. Of course they aren’t as talented as you. But they sure are pretty! We have a new hair crush. Her name is Dianna Agron, the adorable pregnant cheerio, Quinn Fabray, from the hit Fox show. 

She posed for Vanity Fair’s October issue (no, we can’t believe we’re already talking October issues either!) and she looks absolutely stunning. She is a hair goddess. We’re particularly loving the interesting side twisty-pony thing she’s doing in the photo at right. You know we’re anxious for the braid trend to evolve into something more interesting for Fall. This is a super cute alternative. We LOVE it. Also adore the hue she’s rocking– it’s a medium shade of blonde that has quite a lot of depth to it.  The highlights and lowlights are simply divine.

And we cannot wait for the return of Glee! The premiere is on September 21st.

Check out some additional images below and definitely pick up the issue when it hits newstands September 7th! xoxo

Anne Hathaway Goes Pixie!

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Anne Hathaway was spotted in Paris this week with a dramatic pixie cut! This pixie fever is getting out of control, no?

Annie is the latest in a long list of celebs to take the pixie plunge, with the most recent addition to the pixie posse being Hermione Granger herself, the adorable Emma Watson. Our good friend Rachel Jacoby from InStyle reported on this breaking hair news yesterday. 

What do you guys think of the look? It’s actually for a role (she’s in the city of light to film a romantic comdedy, One Day) so we’re not going to be too judgy about it…. BUT I prefer her with longer hair. And her gamine ‘do is not as delicate as it could be… it’s a bit choppy for my taste. Ugh, there we go being judgy again.

We love you, Anne!  Tell us what you think in the comments! xo

*** UPDATE!!  Annie’s publicist tells Us Weekly that this new ‘do is in fact a wig. And the world breathes a sigh of relief. Okay, maybe it’s just us. ***

Emmy Bouffants!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Hey loveys! Happy Monday! It’s the last week of August, so we sincerely hope you’re enjoying a super slow work week and an absentee boss. Good times.  The Emmys were last night and the looks were all over the place: lots of white, black and navy blue to boot. Also several ridiculous bouffants. Check ‘em out.

Here we have Glee’s car-keying Cheerio Naya Rivera, The Office’s Mindy Kaling, and True Blood’s Anna Paquin. As we noted on Twitter, Anna looks like she was wearing a headband for a while and decided to take it off right before she got to the red carpet, no? There’s actually some sort of clear twine in her hair if you look really close. Odd.

Now, we do love a good old fashioned bouffant. When done correctly, it can be a chic and sexy retro look. But these styles just don’t do it for us (especially the fishing line in Anna’s hair).  Naya is seriously channeling Marge Simpson with the height on that thing and Mindy’s beehive is distracting (although we love the side-swept bang, thumbs up).

What do you guys think of these ‘dos? Yay or nay? Tell us in the comments! xoxo
