Kerry Washington's 7 Most Stunning Hair Moments


Ever since Kerry Washington's introduction to the world in Ray, we've been in awe of her captivating beauty. With her roles in Scandal and Django Unchained, the actress has been all over the red carpet this year—and lucky us to have such bountiful hair and makeup inspiration!

From catwalk-worthy ponytails to intricate French twists and tough blunt bangs, Kerry is a true chameleon. She loves pink lipstick, rosy cheeks, fluffy faux lashes, and if she could bottle that signature glow, people would be snatching it off the shelves. But enough gushing, take a look for yourself, here are the 36-year-old's most breath-taking moments.

1. Romance

2. Spiral Curls

3. Chic Bun

4. Cat Eyes

5. Faux Bob

6. Bowed Beauty

7. Blunt Bangs

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Wore Matching Pantsuits to Paris Fashion Week


Being the oh-so serious designer that he is, it was only a matter of time before Kanye West graced Paris Fashion Week with his presence. And that his baby momma Kim Kardashian would soon follow. This we expected. But never in our wildest dreams did we imagine their rendezvous in the City of Love would be this, uh, suiting.

BEHOLD: Kimye in coordinating black and white pantsuits!


The duo wore their coordinating duds to Givenchy's fall 2013 show, where they sat front row among the likes of Amanda Seyfried, Sky Ferreira, Jessica Chastain, Jessica Chastain's see-through pants, and Nicole Richie.

Kanye seemed to fit right in, because boy did he have his iPhone holding form down pat — look, pointed pinkie and everything!



But in all seriousness, maybe there's something to couples dressing alike, after all. The two looked, like, really, really happy together. Kanye even cracked a smile!

Really.

Nicki Minaj Fired Her Makeup Team, Hairstylist, AND Stylist—Like Her New Look?


Say goodbye to Nicki Minaj's Franken-wigs, Barbie-on-acid lips, and cat suits — no really, cat suits. Remember this? — because the rapper just up and fired her entire "glam squad."

According to a report in The Sun, now that Minaj is all wrapped up with American Idol, she's planning her triumphant return to the rap world — sans her infamous antics.

“Nicki is desperate to be taken seriously as an artist," a source told the tabloid. “She’s fired her long-standing hairdresser who has been responsible for some of her crazy hairstyles over the years. She’s also fired her stylist."

Minaj seems pretty serious about being "taken seriously," though. At least, that's what we're gathering from her latest look. She almost seems — with the exception of some intense falsies — dare we say it, normal. Well, for her at least!

Tell us, are you sad to see her out-of-this-world style go? Or has this make-under been long overdue? Sound off with your thoughts in our poll, below!

7 Cute Nail Wraps For Spring 2013


Spring 2013's freshest crop of nail decals do way more than just decorate. They're 2-in-1 styles, stick-on gel manicures (!!!) and a whole lot more where that came from.

1. Fishnets


Unlike most fishnet decals on the market, L'Oreal's Nail Lingerie — not going to lie, we love 'em even more for the saucy name! — is designed to be layered over your polish. Basically, the possibilities are endless! (Like our nail polish supply...) L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Lingerie in "Bling Addict," $8.95 in drugstores.

2. French or Full?


Designed by Nail Files reality TV star Katie Cazorla, these Kiss limited-edition floral-print stickers can be worn both as a full decal and as a French tip. Kiss Nail Dress Katie Cazorla Spring Signature Series, $6.99 in drugstores (Available April 2013)

3. Major Metallics


These ombre Nail Rock wraps take that whole metallic look to the next level — dont'cha think? Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps in "Fade to Grey," $6.55 at NailRock.com

4. Luxe Lace


Get the textured look of lace — and all its vintage-inspired glamour! — without the muss and fuss of gluing the real stuff to your digits. Essie's Sleek Stick Collection in "Embrace the Lace," $10.25 at Essie.com

5. All That Glitters


BEHOLD: A gel manicure in an easy-to-put-on, easy-to-wipe off strip. Sally Hansen's Salon Insta Gel Strips in "Pinkies Up," $14.99 at CVS.com (LED light not included.)

Rihanna's Cool Twist Look


Need a breather from braids? Or want a look that's just as cool, but takes about, oh, half the styling time? Answer: Yes. Yes, you do.

Well, ladies and gents, feast your eyes on Rihanna's twist on the ever-stylish side-braid — it's a side-twist!


Instead of sectioning off her hair three ways, the singer went old-school — perhaps inspired by her DKNY sweatsuit circa 1991? — with the side-braid's younger sis, an easier-to-DIY two-piece twist. It's kiiiind of like the look we used to rock back on the playground (nostalgia points!) but the sharp side part and twisted bangs make it more office than classroom, don't you think?

A tale of caution, if you learned anything from the jungle gym, you'll know that twists don't hold all that well. (Especially after lots of boy-chasing, er, errand running.) So if you're planning to steal RiRi's grown-up version, give your locks extra grip with a texture booster beforehand. We're huge fans of Oribe's brand-new Dry Texturizing Spray ($39 at Oribe.com). It smells ah-mazing!

Andre Leon Talley Left 'Vogue' for 'Numero Russia' !!

(Getty Images) Andre Leon Talley leaves Vogue for Numero Russia
Andre Leon Talley, a pillar of the American fashion media and a longtime mainstay at Vogue, left the iconic fashion bible earlier this month—and the underlying assumption was that he'd gone to focus, full-time, on his burgeoning television career as a talk show host. But news broke yesterday that the magazine veteran has, in addition to his development deal with NBC, joined the masthead at Numero Russia as editor-at-large.

"My strategy is to bring my training," he told WWD about his plans for Numero. "I feel that I have definite skills to bring to Numero Russia, something exciting for the Russian market and the Russian fashion reader that creates a human side to the fashion theme, a narrative."

As for how he'll have a direct hand in editorial, Talley proposes that he'll orchestrate "shoots in Russia with historical narrative relevant to the Russian landscape that is only Russian." This means photoshoots in "humble Russian villages" and in "provinces you reach by car or plane, that are not right outside of Moscow or Saint Petersburg." He'll also be shooting in, um, "cemeteries with their run-down graves and people still living there like 100 years ago."

Not sure how all that couture-in-the-countryside is going to go over in a country where the widening rich-poor gap is a serious socio-economic concern. But here's something Talley has planned that we're pretty sure will go down sweet: Naomi Campbell will grace his first Numero cover.

"I chose her because she lives in Russia now," Talley said. "She has a Russian life with her boyfriend Vladimir [Doronin]. They have an extraordinary new house by Zaha Hadid, and I was privileged enough to see it before it was completed. It's extraordinarily modern to be in Russia."
