Who Had the Prettiest Petal-Pink Lipstick This Week?

Jaime Richards — Sat, 12 May 2012 06:05:00 PDT

The bold lipstick trend may be rampant this season, but there's still plenty of room for the classics. Read: petal-pink lip looks - and this week we saw our fair share of them. Sanaa Lathan paired her subtly glossy version with a metallic eye, while Nikki Reed went for a shimmery grapefruit hue with a hint of champagne shadow. Michelle Trachtenberg, on the other hand, accentuated her flawless skin with an opaque tone on the lips and a perfectly purple smoky eye. All three look gorgeous in their makeup choices, but which one was prettiest in her petal-pink palette?

Matt Damon and Marion Cotillard Bring Their Infectious Smiles to NYC

Katie Henry — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:04:22 PDT

Matt Damon arrived hand in hand with his lovely wife, Luciana, at tonight's NYC premiere of Contagion. The couple posed for photos before Matt went on to meet up with Marion Cotillard and director Steven Soderbergh on the red carpet. It was a wild day for Matt, who kicked things off before dawn with appearances on The Today Show and Live With Regis and Kelly. Matt touched on the seriousness of infectious disease, the focus of the film, and then switched gears to a lighter subject when he revealed he'll be dropping three of his daughters off for the first day of school this week. Marion arrived on the East Coast with her son, Marcel, recently and was also busy hitting the talk show circuit. She dropped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon this afternoon and is scheduled to visit The Daily Show With Jon Stewart tomorrow. Matt and Marion's costar Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out to promote the film in Venice over the weekend, but tonight she missed out on the Big Apple screening. Instead, Gwyneth partied with friends in London.

3 Reasons White Eye Shadow and Pink Lipstick Work

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 12:53:53 PST

When people think of white eye shadow and posy-pink lipstick, they usually get an image of fair-skinned girls traipsing around on Scottish moors in watercolor florals, but the combination is not nearly so limited. Sanaa Lathan, for example, wore the stunning look last night at a People StyleWatch party. Her gorgeousness inspired me to stick up for white and pink. There are some good reasons you should be wearing this combo; to find out why, just keep reading.

How-To: Fake Sanaa Lathan's Braid-Wrapped Bun

BellaSugar — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:30:11 PST

In between checking out the fashion and the beauty while watching Thursday's NAACP Image Awards, I also hoped to spot a fun hairstyle to test out at home. Since she's already a favorite regardless of her beauty look, I was happy to see Sanaa's glamorous updo on the red carpet. Even though I'm fairly certain she got some "help" with that braid, and possibly part of the bun, I wanted to come up with a take on this style that we could re-create at home without hair extensions.

I grabbed some pins and rubber bands, got creative, and found it's actually possible to fake this style on my shoulder length hair. Sadly Mr. Bella wasn't around to take a picture of the back of my head, but I've come up with suggestions.

Before you get started, I'll explain how we're faking it because I know it can be easier to visualize a hair style than follow instructions: Instead of making one big braid to go around, you'll do four smaller braids and then hide the ends under the bun to make it appear to be a single braid wrapped around. To get the six step-by-steps,

Start by pretending to form a ponytail where you want the bun to fall and hold with one hand, but don't add an elastic yet.
While holding the ponytail with that hand, use the other hand to pull our four sections of hair around the ponytail. You should end up with about 1/2 of your hair still in your ponytail hand and four loose pieces of hair that total the other 1/2 of your hair separated out.
Take an elastic and form a makeshift bun out of the ponytail. You'll undo and fix it later, the point is to keep that hair out of the way for the time being.
Make four braids out of the four sections of hair. Try to start each braid close to the bun (i.e., don't pull the braid off too tight) and secure each with a small elastic at the ends.
Now grab some bobby pins and make a circle around your fake bun, pinning and tucking the ends.
Undo the bun and make a ponytail but tuck the ends under to make a loop. Just flatten and fluff and you're done!

Battle of the D&G: Bilson vs. Lathan

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:40:53 PST

These ladies turned up at the D&G boutique opening party in LA in some statement-making pieces. Bilson decided to dress up jeans in a blue sequin tuxedo jacket and bright yellow clutch. Sanaa wore a black knit hat, a textured black and gold dress, and net-like sandals. It comes down to whether you dig the sequin tuxedo jacket or the lady in the hat. Who made a better statement?

Best of 2008: Favorite New Trend

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 07:00:22 PST

It's hard keeping up with trends; nevertheless, it's an obsession of mine. While I bring you daily trend alerts, there were several trends that kept our attention throughout the year. Some tempered volume - shoulder love and the new crop of pants - these trends are for the more daring fashion darling. Meanwhile, the It bag gave way to the It shoe. Designers showcased over-the-top shoes on the Spring and Fall runways - to many a model's demise. We bought more clutches this year than ever before (oops). Countless celebrities shined thanks to statement necklaces and florals bloomed like crazy. We know which trend we hope lives on, what about you?

Movie Preview: The Family That Preys

BuzzSugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:30:47 PDT

The first thing that struck me about this trailer for Tyler Perry's new movie The Family That Preys was the stellar cast. First off, Academy darlings Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard on the same screen together is awesome. Plus, after watching Something New, I'm really excited to see more of Sanaa Lathan. Add to that Cole Hauser, Rockmond Dunbar, and Robin Givens, and you've got a darn compelling cast.

The movie looks like an emotionally complicated tale of two families navigating issues of love, marriage, class, race, and history. There's a lot going on and a lot of characters, but I'm interested to see how Perry explores these themes. The plot is described by IMDB thusly:

Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright (Bates) and her dear friend Alice Pratt (Woodard), a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children's extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved.

Who Wore it Better? Jenny Han Tuxedo Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Nip/Tuck actress Sanaa Lathan chose this sweet Jenny Han confection for the Sundance film festival back in January. But, Nicky Hilton chose the same one (over Prada!) for the Prada-presented Trembled Blossoms screening in LA last week. I'm pretty much in lust with the mod '60s feel, from the ruffled tuxedo detailing to the sexy mini length. Nicky dressed it up with some hot Louboutins and Sanaa made it work for the more casual Park City environs with knee high boots. I'm leaving this one to you - who looks more Fab?

The Help Goes Home a Big Winner at the NAACP Image Awards

Katie Henry — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 09:41:01 PST

The NAACP Image Awards rolled out the red carpet at LA's Shrine Auditorium last night to honor stars from TV, film, and music. The Help continued their award season winning streak by adding three new trophies to their growing collection. The film took the evening's top honors with a win in the outstanding motion picture category, while actresses Viola Davis, in a daring Herve L. Leroux gown, and Octavia Spencer respectively took home statues for best actress and best supporting actress - check out the entire list of 2012 NAACP Image Award winners!

Fresh off his hosting gig at last weekend's Grammy Awards, LL Cool J was recognized with the award for best actor in a drama series for his role on NCIS: Los Angeles, while Southland's Regina King was presented with the best actress trophy. Hosts Sanaa Lathan and actor Anthony Mackie were in charge of keeping the star-studded audience excited and entertained, though it was performances by Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo, and Lenny Kravitz that really got the crowd on their feet. The night also paid respects to the late Don Cornelius and culminated with a touching tribute to Whitney House performed gospel singer Yolanda Adams.
