GLAM OR SHAM?: Willow Smith's Braided Faux-Hawk Ponytail at the Dolce & Gabbana Show

Willow Smith is so cool and fashion-forward, I can't keep up. After rocking her white-tipped hair at the Emporio Armani Spring 2011 show, Willow debuted a braided faux-hawk ponytail at the Dolce & Gabbana show. Looove!

I think it's edgy and still age-appropriate enough for a 9 year-old style star. The mohawk and French braid are so the birthchild of a rockstar hairstyle and a childhood staple. But that's just my opinion...

Some not-so-friendly people felt she looked very Avatar-esque. Ouch. What do you think of Willow Smith's look? Is it GLAM or SHAM?

Here's Naomi Campbell kicking it backstage with Willow and Jada at the Dolce & Gabbana show.

Naomi Campbell Dances to "Run This Town" at Dolce&Gabbana's Fashion Night Out Event

Of all the myriad events that took place at Fashion's Night Out, Dolce&Gabbana and Naomi Campbell's was one of the best. Why? Well, you gotta love a party with celebrity sightings (Naomi Campbell, Chris Brown, Fabolous) AND a dance routine to "Run This Town" performed by models in fishnets and leather hot pants. (Do you see Naomi working it below? Yes, girl, get it!)

Leave it to Naomi to throw one of FNO's most amazing soirees! Celebrating 25 years of excellence in modeling over her legendary career, Naomi and Dolce&Gabbana joined forces for a fab t-shirt line and an even more amazing event.

Naomi, who storms the catwalk like no other in the business, performed a dance sequence choreographed by the one-and-only Laurieann Gibson (you definitely know her from Making the Band, BoomKatPow! ring a bell?). Here she is pictured with the dancing models.

The models each represented a different look from Naomi's career and rocked one of the uberfab t-shirts, which boast iconic images of Naomi shot by world-renowned photographers from Steven Miesel to Patrick Demarchelier. The t-shirts support Naomi's amazing charity, Fashion for Relief. 


After her fun dance routine, how could you not want to support? Check out pictures of the amazingness below. I'm sorry, no matter what anyone says about Ms. Campbell, that girl rocks!

Naomi and the amazing Anna Wintour who was literally everywhere last night!

Yum, Chace Crawford was there!

 

Naomi brings out all the boys: Chris Brown and Fabolous came by.

The gorgeous Selita Ebanks stopped by the event, in Dolce&Gabbana of course.

Denise Richards came to show her support.

Nicky Hilton also made an appearance in a cute LBD.

How cute are Naomi and Tyson Beckford?

GET THE LOOK: Keri Hilson at the 2010 Grammys

Hey Glamazons! Songtress Keri Hilson finally "WOW'd" us last night in a floor length Dolce & Gabbana mermaid gown, a jeweled smokey eye and dewy skin. Makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff (whom we love!) shares with us how she created the look:

"Keri Hilson looked like a 1950's diva when she left for the 2010 Grammys. Her peach dress with jeweled waistband was fit to the T and hugged every curve with care. I was inspired to play up her beautiful hazel eyes and also give a touch of edge to her Hollywood glam goddess look."

"Before applying makeup, always start with clean, toned and moisturized skin. I use Mary Kay's TimeWise Targeted-Action Eye Revitalizer to refresh tired eyes. I love Enessa Neroli Oil Spray to tone skin and make skin glow. To finish, prep skin with La Mer moisturizer."

The Perfect Face

"I love for Keri to look flawless because she has such a beautiful bone structure. I use Smashbox Photo Finish Primer to give makeup long wearability, then I apply COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundation to create a flawless finish. I create a sculpted glowing face using COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Bronzer in Light Bronze. I also use it to contour the nose and cheekbones."

Radiant Cheeks

"I love the soft peach tones of her dress so I accented Keri's cheeks with Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Strawberry Cream which has a subtle cotton candy rose tone with a beautiful shimmer to it, so cheeks just glow."

Standout Eyes

"Keri wanted to have a jewel tone smoke so I chose a beautiful deep purple shade from Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Sweet Plum on her lids and lower lash line. As a base to intensify the purple shadow I applied COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Purple Plum. Then I created depth using Tigi Bed Head Big Fat Fun Liner in Purple and COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara in Black to top the look, coating both bottom and top lashes three times. I used Ja’Maal Busters Lash Line to add that extra drama for red carpet flare."

Luscious Lips

"I didn't want to do just a nude lip and smoky eye so instead I went retro— think Kevyn Aucoin meets Naomi Campbell in the 90's with a deeper liner using Mary Kay Lip Liner in Dark Berry. I lined lips then used a brush to blend the liner out so it had soft edges then used COVERGIRL Queen Collection Lip Gloss in Pearled Peach in the center of the lips to create the perfect pout."

Glorious Brows

"Brows frame the face and I love Keri's brows because they are naturally high arched but also full. So I fill them in with Dior Universal Brow Pencil then brush them with Diorshow Brow in Shiny Blond so they shimmer with a golden glow."

Bodilicious

"Keri's dress was amazing and really showed off her curves so I wanted her skin to glow. I used Sally Beauty Body Glow Shimmer spray to give her body that shimmery glow."

Vogue January

Pictures from style.com and vogue.com

So Vogue February should be out now, or at least soon, so I thought I'd do a recap on the January issue. I'm a magazine junkie, and subscribe to TeenVogue, Marie Claire, Allure, and Harpers Bazar. Hopefully soon I'll be subscribing to Vogue, since its so much cheaper to subscribe. I'm in love with the sheer trend going on right now, and at the moment am obsessed with cherry red!!! I love black, white, and red together. I think its chic, mature, romantic, and feminine. So I was so inspired by the cover story on Rachel McAdams. The clothes she wore in the shoot were beautiful. One of the trends I'm seeing alot on the runway right now is the use of sheer fabrics and lingerie. The use of lingerie in outfits has become ever more popular and I think its very pretty and feminine when used right. I love the Dior belted organza-and-satin dress with built-in bra. The organza-and-satin gives such a feminine and girly effect. Its truly a piece of art. I loved the photo of Rachel McAdams wearing it with red lip stick and Cartier white gold-and-diamond earring. Truly stunning. Also, the Dolce & Gabbana floral silk-and-nylon bodysuit and pencil skirt she wore are to die for. The outfit looks darling with the De Beers diamond earrings and Christian Louboutin heels. This is definitely a dress I would wear. I wish I could afford it!!!
