We’ve talked about it before, and we’ll likely speak of it again: Blake Lively loves a ponytail. At last night’s Beyoncé-hosted launch party for Lorraine Schwartz’s 2BHAPPY jewelry collection, she added something slightly out of character, albeit totally on trend: hair gel. According to Redken creative consultant Guido Palau, with whom we had the pleasure [...]

Blake Lively had the “hair of the year” back in 2009 and she seems pretty determined to hold onto the title. The Gossip Girl star showed up to the Cinema Society screening of Twelve last night in New York sporting an enviable texturized ponytail to complement her navy minidress from Chanel’s cruise collection. To get [...]

With some of Hollywood’s biggest bombshells making cameos at Comic Con 2010, the film showcase has been an action hero-loving nerd’s dream come true. Angelina Jolie kicked things off last week, touting her new thriller Salt in a curve-hugging black leather ensemble. But she was promptly one-upped by Blake Lively, whose nothing-left-to-the-imagination cleavage shirt definitely [...]

The only way to compete with Blake Lively’s long, golden waves: hair extensions! The Gossip Girl’s co-stars Taylor Momsen and Jessica Szohr are rarely seen without them, so it was a surprise to spot the latter going au naturel last night at a special screening of Youth in Revolt in New York. The glam factor [...]

Blake Lively has the hairstyle of the year, according to an oft-referenced New York Times article—and our forthcoming Year in Beauty 2009 feature—but Jennifer Aniston isn’t quite ready to relinquish the title she held in the mid-nineties. “Rachel’s” aughts style is longer, straighter, and less layered, but it’s still a crowd-pleaser, capturing nearly half [...]

We’ve always thought Robin Wright Penn had one of the best blonds in the business. Even with no makeup, she and her flaxen locks stood out on the red carpet in Cannes this year. But apparently, the actress felt it was time for a change, going a very dark shade of brunette for the Cinema [...]

At last night’s Chanel Fine Jewelry Fête d’Hiver benefit in New York, black and navy were the evening’s big colors, with similarly dark shades of eyeliner also getting a lot of play. If you can focus your attention beyond the ginormous diamond-encrusted camellia around Blake Lively’s neck, how do you like the liner on the [...]

The Mission: Make Blake Lively the most red-carpet-ready Gossip Girl in attendance at the 2009 Emmy Awards.
The Glam Squad: Celebrity makeup artist Kristofer Buckle for Dior Beauty and hairstylist Renato Campora for Frédéric Fekkai.
The Face: Buckle relied on a lot of warm honey colors to make Lively’s green eyes “pop,” including DiorBronze Original Tan in [...]

Attention Upper East Siders—especially Blake Lively and Leighton Meester: There’s a new Queen B in town. That would be Jessica Szohr, a.k.a. Gossip Girl’s Vanessa, and her set of ultra outrageous (and natural looking!) hair extensions. Spotted last night at both the Juicy Couture flagship store opening on Fifth Avenue and Lucky magazine’s 5th annual [...]

If you happened to be walking down Fifth Avenue last night, you may’ve noticed more than a few faces pressed against the window at Henri Bendel, not to mention a slew of flashbulbs, screaming young girls, and equally excited grown men spilling onto the street. It was the kind of frenzy that only a collaboration [...]
