Kendal Jenner Photoshoot Pictures

Recently Kendal Jenner has found herself in the midst of controversey surrounding her latest bikini photoshoot, which she looked FIERCE (yes in capital letters!).

Here are some new photoshoot pictures, which i had to share.. She looks like a life sized Barbie:

Surprisingly enough, the stylist used low (Forever 21, H&M) and high end items (Christian Louboutin) for the outfits in this photoshoot.. Usually it always seems to be all about the most expensive pieces they can get their hands on, so it's great to see this mix and match.

Look For Less: Kim Kardashian in NYC

Last week Kim was seen in New York City wearing this sexy outfit, her Balenciaga handbag and usual YSL Tribute Pumps. If you love Kim's style of just this outfit, here are some ideas to get the look for less. I tried tracking down her original and/or similar light blue cropped zipper jacket, with no succes.

BET 2010 Red Carpet Pictures

This years BET award show was spectacular. With amazing performances by stars like Kanye West and Chris Brown's unforgetable Micheal Jackson tribute as he teared up in between.

And of course, what's an award show without the stars who get dekked out for them.

Ashanti was wearing a long red gown with ruffled sleeves. I'm not feeling the bottom half of this dress much. A bit too simple.

Brandy looked perfect in a grey coccoon dress. From the hair, to the shoes and the wardrobe: I love it ALL!

Fergie also looking stunning in her black and white dress with the ruffled back. Anyone else noticing that ruffles are really taking over the red carpets a second year in a row? I didn't like the shoes she paired it with though.

Jada Pinkett... I expected something else from the Hawthorne star. Specially since seeing her hot outfits in recent appearances promoting the return of her show. She seems to be wearing one of this seasons trends - hotpants (I have a post coming out about this) - and sadly... I'm not fond of these panty shorts.

Just for fun: Kid N Play. Haven't seen these two in ages.

Nia Long is always one of my favorites on the Red Carpet and though she wore a rather simple silhouette, the pop of color and perfect fit make this whole look a winner.

What did you think of this years BET Red Carpet Fashion choices?

Lauren Conrad in Navy Jumpsuit

Last week Lauren Conrad made an appearance to her Got Milk? ad campaign in LA donning a Phillip Lim Navy Jumpsuit (retails for $495), Louboutins ($359) and her Marc Jacobs handbag.

Makeup And Outfit: Kelly Rowland - Commander

Me and my friend over at Epidemic decided to do a make-up and outfit collaboration inspired by Kelly Rowland's racy new music video Commander. Thru out most of the video Ms Rowland is seen wearing a red and black latex like one piece.

Paying attention to her make up, one of the looks that stood out most was the shots of her wearing a silvery/metallic shadow and black thin cut crease on her eyes. Not an easy look to pull off or recreate but I think the results are amazing..

Here's the Epidemic version of the look:

For the tutorial, head on over to her blog.

Now, if you're not planning on walking out the door with this make up and a feathered silver onsie, here are a few more wearable outfit ideas:

Celebrity Inspired Wedding Hair Styles

I was sent an article about celebrity inspired wedding hairstyles and trends and decided to share. No wedding attire is complete without the right hairstyle and even this can be a daunting task.

Inspired by some of our favorite Hollywood starlets who have tied the knot this year, Latrice Strader, Master Hairstylist and Owner of Destiny De’Ve Hair Salon in Washington, D.C. explores the bridal styles of five celebrity newlyweds who mastered their wedding day hairstyles.
“This year the top celebrity bridal hairstyles each exuded a look of elegance and grace while maintaining a glamorous edge,” says Latrice. Whether you are looking for a classic, glamorous, or sexy bridal hairstyle, the hairstyles below will surely suit your fancy for your special day.
Latrice explains how every woman can find the celebrity bridal hairstyle that fits them best.

Regal beauty:
America’s favorite first daughter tied the knot in a beautiful dress and ceremony, in addition to a classic feminine French twist. “The twists and braids are perfect for Chelsea since she is young, vibrant, and is a part of American royalty” says Latrice. “For any bride desiring a classic look with a lot of volume and texture, this French twist is a top bridal hairstyle—perfect for any princess fairytale wedding” Latrice continues.

Foxy and simple:
Transformers star Megan Fox shows off her shiny jet-black hair on her big day by keeping it straight and simple for her wedding. “Straight hair is definitely a sexy way to highlight natural beauty,” says Latrice. “For any bride who desires a sexier and more natural look, straight hair is the perfect hairstyle” Latrice continues.

Gold, Elegant Waves:
Khloe Kardashian’s perfectly crimped locks are highlighted by her luscious golden highlights for her big day. Khloe’s gold streaks bring out her glowing fair skin as well. “Gold and/or deep brown highlights are a great way to highlight your natural skin tone if you have naturally dark hair,” says Latrice. “Shades of lighter colors for those with naturally lighter hair can also bring out beautiful glowing skin as well.”

All-American girl updo:
Carrie Underwood’s beautiful smile and voice aren’t the only things touching hearts all around the nation. Carrie’s golden tresses are gathered into an elegant updo with loose curls that are easy to work with. “Carrie’s side swoop bangs complement her loose curls perfectly and add a fun yet beautiful look to her style,” says Latrice.

Fit for a queen:
Grammy award winning Alicia Keys continues to set trends even on her wedding day. Incorporating a diamond encrusted tiara with an elegant chignon tucked and pinned away from her face, Alicia exudes a regal look on her big day. “Alicia’s beauty is radiant with this simple yet glamorous hairstyle,” says Latrice. “It’s a super chic and classic look that highlights her beauty well, especially with the added touch of the tiara.”

Here are make up products you can use to recreate Lady Gaga's look at the 2010 Grammy's.

Here's a sexy glamourous tutorial for the look Kate Moss was seen wearing in the YSL Parisienne advertisment. It's a COLOURED cat eye- I've been trying to do a cat eye using eye shadows for ages.

Anyone notice this Make-up Guru kind of looks like Kate Moss??

Kim Kardashian's White Distressed Jeans

I've been getting questions from readers about Kim Kardashian's (and Meghan Fox's) white distressed and ripped up jeans she's been seen wearing since September 09.

Well the good news is they're available online. The even better news is that they're on sale!

Get The Gook: Rihanna In 20/20 Interview

I've been getting alot of mail from people asking me what Rihanna was wearing in the 20/20 interview that aired this past week.

Outfit: Fendi Fur Trimmed Sweater dress (with Balmain inspired big shoulders and a cowl neck). SO far I've only seen it online in black for $2.200 at Saks Fifth Avenue. Hate to say it but the model below does NOT do the dress justice. :/ It almost looks like an entirely differnt dress compared to the beige/cream one.

Nail Polish: in the interview Miss Ri-Ri is wearing a caramel-ish/dark fleshtoned color. The closest match I came across from OPI was Barefoot In Barcelona. Of course there where lots of close matches I came across but most where out of stock or discontinued.

Shoes: Dark nude pumps of course! The one below is by Christian Louboutin.

Accesories: MINIMALISTIC. Rihanna kept it simple with Diamond stud earrings, and 3 chunky gold rings on her finger.
Make up: once again, very dewy, nude and smokey eyes.

Get this look:
*Sephora Smokey Eye Palette $38
*Yves Saint Laurent Mascara $30
*Too Faced Carribean In A Compact $27
*Nars LipGloss in Scandal $24
*Nars Semi Matte Lipstick $24
*Black eye liner
