Selita Ebanks Accused of Assault

Model Liza Irizarry says she plans to sue Selita Ebanks for assault and battery, claiming the Victoria's Secret Angel punched her in the face and broke her nose outside a Miami nightclub last year.



Model Liza Irizarry says she plans to sue Selita Ebanks for assault and battery, claiming the Victoria's Secret Angel punched her in the face and broke her nose outside a Miami nightclub last year.

Irizarry, who works for Telemundo, says she kissed Ebanks's boyfriend on the cheek in greeting when she saw him in front of the Dream club in Miami. She alleges that a drunken Ebanks did not react well to her salutation. "When she saw me, she said, 'Don't be kissing my man," Irizarry said in an interview. "That's when she hit me on the nose. I went to swing back; that's when all her friends jumped in. I felt hair-pulling and fists coming at me."

Irizarry says the nose injury required surgery days later. Her suit will seek damages covering pain, suffering, and medical costs.

Ebanks's lawyer, Paul Rothenberg, said the suit "is nine months old and completely without merit" and called Irizarry's claims "baseless."

Get the Look: Undo Your Updo

The next time you find yourself in front of your mirror trying to get your updo just right, take a step back.

The next time you find yourself in front of your mirror trying to get your updo just right, take a step back. Lately it seems as if polished ponytails aren't the only options for Summer. Tousled styles are taking center stage, too. Recently, Jennifer Lawrence (left), model Selita Ebanks (upper right), and Olivia Palermo (lower right) have all been spotted sporting this mussed-up look.

To re-create the style at home, the trick is to form lots of body as a base. Prime your hair with a texture-enhancing product, like Alterna Summer Ocean Waves texturizing spray ($20). Then, it's time to customize. Pull random sections of your hair away from your hairline and bobby-pin them at the back of your head. Whether you allow pieces to fall in your face is up to you. In the back, gather a portion of hair at the nape of your neck, and pull it into a loose, deconstructed ponytail. For an even more imperfect and dramatic look, tease pieces of your hair near the hair elastic, and you're done . . . or should we say undone.

Trend Alert: Tangerine Tango Nail Polish

Celebrate the beginning of Summer with an orange nail polish shade as bright as the sun.

Celebrate the beginning of Summer with an orange nail polish shade as bright as the sun. This month we've spotted the tangerine tone (which happens to be Pantone's Color of the Year), on celebrities like Selita Ebanks (left), Nelly Furtado (upper right), and Janina Gavankar (lower right). This bright hue will work with an equally colorful ensemble, or it can bring a bit of heat to a neutral frock. Even though each of these stars opted for a bright hue, pastel melon shades, pinky-peach shades, and flaming red-orange are also in season. Want to try this trend at home? Reach for Julep Nail Vernis in Natasha ($14) or Essie in Fear or Desire ($8). And once you master this color on your nails, you can move on to orange makeup on your eyes and lips.
