Willow Smith Wears Designer Knock-Off At AMA’s, Stylist Speaks Out!

HelloBeautifulStaff — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:45:54 +0000

Willow Smith is in trouble over the outfit she wore the to the American Music Awards this past weekend. Turns out the yellow custom made, one-shoulder harness she wore is actually a Mother of London knock-off. Everyone assumed that Willow’s stylist Mariel Haenn is at fault, including Mother of London designer Mildred von Hildegard.

Hildegard said,

“I’m disappointed and saddened that this will negatively impact my business. My original design is now recognized in the mass media as someone else’s work, and it’s very hurtful on both a personal and professional levels. I hope this can be resolved, and I wish nothing but the best to Willow.”

Haenn later Tweeted,

“Just an fyi, we only dressed Rihanna last nite. I don’t like when people try to credit me for work that’s not mine.”

She then emailed COILHOUSE Magazine:

“To be honest I have no idea who ‘styled’ her or the designer. Wish I did. I don’t ask my clients who they used when I’m not available.”

Willow Smith is way too young to be involved in this drama. Whoever did give her the outfit just needs to apologize.

HelloBeautifulStaff — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 17:15:37 +0000

Ne-Yo fell during his performance at this past weekend’s American Music Awards show. He appeared as a guest on “Lopez Tonight” last night (November 22) and talked to the host about whether or not the spill was on purpose, why he’s not technically a good dancer, his 5 signature moves, and what living out of a van was like when he first moved to L.A.

He also shouted out his newborn daughter Madeline Grace Smith.

HOW TO: Alicia’s AMA Do!

HelloBeautifulStaff — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:02:58 +0000

One of Urban Beauty Collective celebrity stylists, Tippi
Shorter, brings us Alicia Keys fabulous red carpet hairstyle from
the 2009 American Music Awards.

TIPPI SHORTER ON ALICIA KEYS

Alicia has recently gotten hair color. We went a couple of
shades lighter with Clairol and we love it!

Not only did she walk the red carpet, but, she performed 2 times
so I had to find a fun style that can transform easily throughout
the night.

We decided to do an updo, but with a creative twist. She has
always been very well known for her braids so I have been
incorporating braids into alot of her looks lately, but from a more
fashion standpoint.

To protect it we always start the the Pantene color revive
shampoo and conditioner to help keep hair healthy and vibrant.

After the shampoo and conditioner, I used the detangling leave
in from Pantene and blow dried her hair with a Mason Pearson brush
to get her hair as smooth as possible.

I wanted to recreate the backward mohawk braid that I did for
her most recent video, so I sectioned the hair into 3 sections
front to back. I gathered the 2 outermost sections and secured them
into a ponytail using Ojon animated styling paste.

With the center section, I started a braid from the nape all the
way to the front and made it a little off center. I tucked the end
of the braid underneath the main braid and secured with bobbi
pins.

I finished the entire look off with Ojon Tunu Elastik hairspray
and Bed Head Headrush spray shine.

There you have it. Now you can create this same style at home.
Until next time. Live*Love*Laugh*Create

Rihanna To Perform At 2009 American Music Awards

Deborah Bennett, Senior Editor — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:30:46 +0000

I’m hearing Rihanna is set to make her first appearance since the much-publicized beating last February.

According to acesshowbiz.com, Rihanna is going to visit the 2009 American Music Awards and sing at the show. As of today, no official statement has been made by either the AMAs or Rihanna’s camp. I’m praying she doesn’t warble that new song of hers.

The American Music Awards will take its 37th annual celebration to Los Angeles.

Michael Jackson has a chance to win artist of the year posthumously at the American Music Awards. According to the Associated Press, MJ will face Lady Gaga, Eminem, Kings of Leon and country star Taylor Swift in the artist of the year category, while “Number Ones” scored a nod for favorite pop/rock album, where it will compete against Gaga’s “The Fame” and Swift’s “Fearless.”

Swift topped all artists with six nominations. She drew inadvertent attention at the MTV Video Music Awards last month when rapper Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech to say Beyonce deserved the award instead.

In the 10 days following Jackson’s death, his 2003 greatest hits package “Number Ones” surged to the top of the charts selling more than 440,000 copies, according to Nielsen. The collection could end up as 2009′s top-selling album.Jackson followed Swift with five nominations and Eminem received four.

The King of Pop was also nominated for favorite pop/rock male artist, favorite soul/R&B artist and favorite soul/R&B album.
