A Sensuous Silhouette

tagged celebs, fashion, hair and bumble in spotlight

Natalie Portman looked every bit like a classic Hollywood starlet at the New York Premiere of Black Swan. Wearing a glamorous black Dior off-the-shoulder dress and gorgeous, full-bodied wavy hair, she dazzled on the red carpet.

Her stylist John D. was tempted to do an elegant updo, but succumbed to the glamour of the dress and created a look that accented its sense of drama and its sensuous silhouette. John D. started with a cocktail of Bumble and bumble's GROOMING CREME and THICKENING SPRAY for soft hold and shine, then blow dried the hair smooth using a round brush to give it 'oomph' at the root. “Natalie has naturally curly hair and it needs extra moisture to look its best,” he explains.

Next he used a 1-inch curling iron and, starting at the back of her head, curled round sections all over her head to set the volume in. John D. finished Natalie’s hair with Bumble's CLASSIC Hairspray. “It was raining during the premiere and I wanted to make absolutely sure the body stayed.” After her hair cooled, he sprayed a paddle brush with CLASSIC hairspray and used it to separate and loosen the hair, which also tamed the curls at the same time.

  1. Part your hair on the side using a fine tooth comb.

  2. Apply a small dab of Bumble and bumble "GEL", beginning at the roots and working down to mid-length of hair.

  3. Using a natural bristle brush (try Bumble's NEW FLAT BRUSH), brush hair back to create a very sleek, low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Secure with a coated elastic hair-band.

  4. Take a small section of hair from the ponytail, and wrap it around the elastic band, securing well with two bobby pins. Finish with Bumble's "SPRAY de MODE" for hold, shine and humidity protection. Beautiful !

TIME TO SHINE !

Rock Goddess PINK is just one of the stars who shimmer in short hair.

It's easy to maintain, dries quickly and never drifts too far out of its intended shape.

But while super-short hair offers undeniable convenience, it also communicates confidence. You don't assume a woman in a closely cropped coif has difficult hair to style or travels extensively or swims daily. You look at her and think, "That woman knows who she is!"

Looks to love from the AMAs !

tagged hair, bumble, fashion and celebs in spotlight

Let's take a pause from the turkey and trimmings to be thankful for something truly important this year: great celeb styles at the 2010 American Music Awards! From Rihanna's red spirals to Taylor Swift's suprisingly straight tresses, celebrities brought their A-game to the red carpet. And while there were some misses—FYI Avril Lavigne...it's no longer 2002—there were several great styles worthy of some love.

  1. Rihanna Rihanna's been in a red mood lately, but this was the first time she's modeled the dark red spirals. The voluminous, retro style complemented her red lace dress perfectly. Celebrity stylist, Ursula Stephen, used a Brazilian Heat ceramic curling iron to create the look. She told Essence.com: "First, I sectioned Rihanna's hair in small pieces. Then, I sprayed it with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz, and wrapped each section around a 3/4" Brazilian Heat ceramic curling iron. Once I released each curl, I combed it quickly before it cooled to create a fluffy, not-so-tight look. When her whole head was curled, I gave her hair a final spray of the Working Spritz, and the look was set."

  2. Taylor Swift Going the opposite of curly-haired RiRi, Swift straightened her normal spirals into a sleek, sophisticated blond style—finished off with a perfect, eyebrow-grazing fringe.

  3. Katy Perry Talk about the newlywed glow! Perry left her colorful wigs and bright make-up at home, sticking to her normal, glossy dark hair and make-up in shades of pale pink to play up her porcelain skin. Her look was completed with a pale pink dress—perfectly beautiful for a new bride.

  4. Kesha Continuing to polarize audiences on her style, Kesha's look inspired both love and hate. Her edgy image is often reminiscent of a less dramatic Lady Gaga. But when faced with a bevy of fresh-faced, identical starlets on the red carpet, how can you not love Kesha's pushing of the boundaries?
