Kelly Osbourne at the American Music Awards

We Love!!

 

 

The American Music Awards seem to always carry the most unique hair styles, and Kelly Osbourne did just that. Walking the red carpet with her purple bangs hanging just above her beautifully shaped eyebrows, Osbourne had the rest of her hair pulled back into a large braid, outlined with gold studs. We love this look!  A feminine style from the front, turned into a twisted punk look from the sides and back. The different shades of purple in her hair are softened by the natural make up she carried on the night. If anyone can carry this looks, its the lady herself!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Braided Bangs: Your Bohemian Summer Look

The disheveled elegance of beatnik braids continue to suffuse fashion and beauty trends. From halo to headband, French to fishtail, all kinds of elaborate entwines are being worn on the runway and the street. But the complexity of making these looks is off-putting for some, so here’s another option: A side-swept braided fringe. One of the best –– and easiest –– ways to adopt the trend, this insouciant look captures the beachy and bohemian aesthetic, keeps hair off the face on hot days, and can be worn in a variety of ways, as seen in the collage. For our tips to adding this simple and chic style to your arsenal, click notes.

 Step: Towel-dry hair to damp. Separate your bang section and mist set and style spray into bangs. Blowdry them completely. Now mist them with dry shampoo; tousle and shake with hands for a nice gritty texture, perfect for braiding.

Step: Separate bangs into two or three strands –– two strands is simpler, three strands makes more detailed patterns. Wind the strands over and under each other to create a basic but beautiful braid. Take fine sections if you want a slender twine, take thicker sections for a chunky braid. Use a clip or bobby pins to fix braid into hairstyle. 

Step: The rest of your hair can be styled as you like it. Wear with waves for upmost bohemia; sweep into a sleek upstyle to add drama to your free spirit; or make hair straight to create contrasting elements.

2013 Met Gala: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie did punk right with a shocking grey bouffant at this year's Met Gala. The designer had teased an Instagram snap of some hair dye earlier in the day, but her high-volume hair was completely unexpected. A cat-eye and dark purple lipstick pulled the look together.

The Met Gala is one of the most stylish and glamorous events on the calendar, and always brings out a star-studded mix of celebrities, designers and fashion industry insiders. Social media-savvy stars have been sharing bits and pieces of their Met Gala prep — this year’s exhibition theme is Punk:
