Whether you’re a fan of Lea Michele or not, you had to be a fan of her SAG Awards look as I thought she totally recovered from her Globes catastrophe! I was honored to talk to her makeup artists immediately after her prep last night about what she would look like on the red carpet and now I have the scoop on her sexy, smooth hair from her stylist, Mark Townsend for Dove.

I just got off the phone with Lea Michele’s Makeup Artist, Melanie Inglessis for Lancome. Literally, she sent Lea off to the red carpet for the SAG Awards and called me as she was packing up her kit. New BFF! Their day began at noon and she called promptly at 3:30PST/6:30EST. It took Lea 3 1/2 hours to get ready with her glam squad today. Here’s the scoop…
Some of the most stylish and influential A listers attend the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art each year and this year you would have thought the theme was “Ladies in Red.”
Gisele Bundchen, Donna Karan, Doutzen Kroes, Dianna Agron, Lea Michele and Saoise Ronan were just some of the women donning the hue. My three favorite were Lea Michele in Escada, Gisele Bundchen appropriately in McQueen and Doutzen Kroes in Giambattista Valli. I have to say though, I think Gisele takes the cake here.
Ever one to make a bold fashion statement, Kim Kardashian has been spotted recently sporting bangs. I’m amazed by how drastic Kim is willing to go looks-wise- like last year, when she went from her trademark long dark locks to blonde. And to me at least, bangs are just as much of a serious commitment as a new hair color, since they completely transform one’s look and require different types of styling.
Well, Kim’s new bangs almost had me fooled….until I found out they weren’t actually real! Kim has been wearing clip-in bangs, Hollywood’s latest hair fad that has also been seen on the likes of Lea Michele and Jessica Simpson. If you’ve always wondered how you would look with bangs but aren’t ready to hit the scissors just yet, these bangs are the perfect solution.
Kymaro Clip-In Bangs are a great option because they’re easy to use, incredibly affordable, and closely resemble human hair (unlike so many fake hair options out there)! You simply clip the bangs in, and they’re heat friendly so they can be customized in any style you desire. They also come in an array of 15 shades, making it easy for you to choose one that’s close to your own hair color.
What do you think about this new hair accessory? Are you ready for some fringe?
One starlette stood out amongst the rest on Sunday night at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, Glee’s Lea Michele. Classic perfection. Her navy, silk Oscar de la Renta gown complimented her figure, yet the ruffles at the bottom made it a red carpet stunner. With such an elegant look complimented by over 400 carats of Lorraine Schwarts mesh jewels, I was glad to see the birthday girl left her hair down. Everything worked.
“Lea wanted her hair to look touchable and super modern, and full hair with lots of volume and a bit of roughness was perfect against her flawless gown” said her stylist Mark Townsend.
Love the look? Follow the step-by-step straight from Townsend himself. Since Lea is in the middle of shooting Glee, she wasn’t able to experiment with color, but Townsend added custom pieces into her hair for dimension.
Starting with clean, damp hair, he used Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse and blow dried with a round brush for added lift. Then, he used a 2″ curling iron to give slight bend (not actually curl the hair) from the ends to the roots and clipped each section with a barrel clip for five minutes to allow them to cool.
