Crafted locally from certified organic cotton, hand-loomed wild-harvested bamboo, raw silk organza and recycled cotton fibers. Sundry shades of blues, creams, and iron with a pop of burnt mauve come to life in sculptural layers of knitted strings, sheer fabrics, and meshed yarn.

She’s Got the Look – Kristen Stewart – MTV VMAs
New Moon premieres on 11/20, and Twilight’s Kristen Stewart was at the VMAs with her co-stars to promote in a classic yet edgy look styled by Celebrity Stylist for Pantene, Hallie Bowman.
You can do this too! Here’s how Hallie created Kristen’s look:
1. Hallie started by shampooing and conditioning Kristen’s hair with a moisturizing formula to create a good base for styling
2. She began by cutting bangs to create roundness around the cheekbones, a look that is complimentary of her heart shape face
3. Hallie applied the Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifter Gel from root to tip to begin building volume, as well as the Pantene Pro-V Texture Spray Wax to make hair more malleable for styling
4. Then, she blow dried Kristen’s hair while brushing it away from the scalp, periodically flipping her hair over to ensure lots of volume at the crown
5. Hallie then pinned sections of her hair back with bobby pins to secure it away from the face, leaving some pieces around the face to give the illusion of a bob with bangs – a nod to the bowl cut, but with a modern feel
6. To polish off the look, Hallie used the Pantene Pro-V Smooth Serum to give Kristen’s hair long lasting shine for the night

Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, Inc (FFAWN) whose mission is to help women gain confidence and skills necessary to reach individual potential.
She’s Got the Look – Twilight’s Ashley Greene – MTV VMA
Twilight’s Ashley Greene left Forks, Washington behind to act as fashion correspondent for the 2009 MTV VMA’s. Pantene Celebrity Stylist Danilo created the long, controlled curls and side swept bang, and here’s how you can recreate this style for yourself.
How to get Ashley’s look:
1. Starting on wet hair, Danilo sprayed the Pantene Pro-V Root Lifter Gel on her crown to prime her hair for a voluminous shape on top
2. Since Ashley was stationed outside on the red carpet, Danilo combed through the Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra Smoothing Balm from the mid-shaft of her hair to the ends to keep it looking sleek and frizz-free despite the humidity
3. After applying the balm, Danilo blow-dried her hair straight
4. Danilo then pulled the top half of her hair back, using his classic French Lacing technique to give her healthy volume on top while leaving a dramatic side part for contrast
5. Then he used a large iron to create her loose flowing curls underneath, combing when necessary
6. To hold the look in place, Danilo sprayed her hair with the Pantene Pro-V Texture Hairspray for moveable texture while she worked the carpet
VMA – Beyonce & dancers with Minx Nails
Lisa Logan “installed” Beyonce’s Minx nails, along with 15 of her dancers. What do you think of the metallic manicures?
What? You’ve never heard of the Minx? It does seem to be Tinseltown’s best kept secret, but I assure you women across the nation are partaking of this decorative art. Remember Sally Hansen Chrome? Only better. Minx is an overlay product that can be placed on natural or artificial nails. Once chosen design is applied, a trained Minxicurist tackles it like shrink-wrap, applying heat (such as through a blow dryer) to shrink and secure product. The advantage to Minx is that the design options are endless, and move from the very loud and fun metals to plaids to possibilities with pictures. Are you ready for a Minxicure?
As mentioned, Minx is a popular beauty tool for Beyonce. Lady Gaga has also sported Minx in her videos. This is a very fun and ornate line that will especially appeal to those that already love nail art, and will really be advantageous for dressing up holidays.
