Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist, Andy LeCompte whipped up this ballerina bun for Wella Professionals Celebrity Ambassador Rebecca Romijn to wear to the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City back on November 14th. We think it would make a fab holiday hairstyle (perhaps decorated with a pretty headband or barrette) and so does LeCompte. [...]
Kristin Stewart walked the red carpet at the premiere for the latest installment of “The Twilight Saga” (that would be Breaking Dawn Part I, for the uninitiated) in the type of edgy, yet romantic look that’s fast becoming her signature.
