It's Easy to Make Your Own Carolina Herrera-Inspired Headband

Jaime Richards — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:10:00 PST

Carolina Herrera is known for her classic yet dramatic pieces, so it just makes sense that her Fall 2012 hairstyles would reflect that aesthetic. Working with Orlando Pita (at Orlo Salon for Moroccanoil), Herrera's models walked the runway with coiffures he described as "really graphic, but not too romantic."

And while it's probably not practical to wear the big-time bouffants seen in the show, there's an easy way to get the gist of the style at home. Learn how to pump up the volume and to make your own Herrera-style headbands now.

Carolina Herrera Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:08:19 PST

Carolina Herrera delivered her quintessential elegance in brilliant red gowns, shimmering red-carpet-worthy dresses, and refined separates for her Fall collection. Pleasing both the celebrity clientele and polished working women, Herrera displayed her magnitude for the classics and modernity in one graceful swoop. Classic ballgowns were sharpened with angles and diaphanous silk dresses were swept with artistic brush-stroke prints, most of which were cinched in with Japanese obi-inspired belts. Meanwhile, for the working class, Herrera paired knee-length wool skirts with an array of sparkly, fur, and feathered sweaters, cropped jackets, and wrap coats doused in one of our favorite color combos: navy and black. More details from the collection below.

Trends: Black and navy color combos, full skirts.
Colors: Black, navy, red, gray, purple, mauve.
Key Piece: We can't wait to see one of the architectural ballgowns on the Oscars red carpet.
Accessories: Wrap obi belts, wedge pumps, long leather gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Michelle Obama would look amazing in the skirt suits, and we'd like to see front-row attendee Renée Zellweger in one of Carolina's magical ballgowns.

She complemented her romantic hairstyle with a delicate pair of earrings, sweet rosy cheeks, and a soft sultry eye. Thoughts?

Ponytails Are in the Loop at Carolina Herrera

Annie Tomlin — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 23:43:14 PDT

Sleek ponytails have popped up at shows like Derek Lam, but they were thrown for a loop at Carolina Herrera. To create what he called a "smooth, shiny and frizz-free texture," stylist Orlando Pita for Orlo Salon began by applying Moroccanoil Light to hair, then following up with Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream before blow-drying hair straight. After parting hair in the middle, Pita pulled it into a low ponytail, securing it with an elastic. To create the appearance of thicker hair, he teased the length of the ponytail before tucking it into the elastic. After wrapping a section of hair around the elastic, he finished the look with hairpins and hair spray. Simple, chic, and - best of all - not too hard to re-create at home.

Renée Zellweger goes bare at the Met Gala in a sheer Carolina Herrera gown covered in delicate gold beading and enhanced with large jeweled appliques under the bust. With such a glitzy dress, it's unsurprising that Renée chose to keep her hair and makeup low key, opting for a low bun and natural-looking coral pink lipstick and blush. It's a nice combination, but do you think it's the right look for the Met?Vote on all of our Met Gala polls here!
