Kristen vs. Selena....Sexy vs. Demure.....Is There A Difference?

Kristen Stewart. Selena Gomez. Two very different young women. Kristen is 22. Selena is 20 . Each is very pretty.

Both were on the red carpet recently, and both debuted totally opposite looks.

We call it sexy vs. demure .

Was Kristen's gown too over-the-top and almost vulgar? Or was Selena's dress too safe and too grown-up for such a young woman?

Kristen showed up making a major fashion statement. She is tryng to up her game in the style department. She looked like liquid gold in a Zuhair Murad soft gold corseted gown, with  see-through skirt.

From afar, Kristen Stewart looked almost nude. She knew it, and dazzled at the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 11 Premiere in L.A. last evening.

Selena Gomez, fresh from her split with Justin Bieber,  slipped into a stunning white Giambattista Valli lace peplum dress for the 22nd Annual Women of  the Year Awards in New York City last night.

Both young women turned heads in their respective red carpet looks. And both debuted very different dos---Kristen with lots of seductive bedroom waves, parted on one side, and Selena with simple, elegant updo.

Do you prefer Kristen Stewart's siren gown, or Selena Gomez' demure dress?

Marissa Jaret Winokur Owes New Slim Figure To Hard Work And Popcorn

We caught a glimpse of Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winokur on GMA this morning, and we were blown away at how tiny she has gotten. Wish we had that photo, because it is much more jaw-dropping than the pic above.

The actress is staying skinny after a recent 60 lb. weight loss, and credits her maintainance program to a sound diet, remaining active, and to popcorn.

The 39-year-old mom to a little boy, says she snacks on popcorn EVERY day! But she doesn't go crazy with a huge bowl basted in butter.

Marissa still enjoys the crunchy snack by eating the 100 Calorie microwave popcorn snack bags.

We are a popcorn freak, too. Our fave is Pop Secret(butter). Yumm-o!!
Plus, Marissa says she also eats boiled eggs. Here's exactly what she told Amy Robach this morning:

"The biggest thing is preparing my life. I traveled to come here. I had my 100 calorie microwavable popcorn with me to eat in my hotel room. And I brought hard boiled eggs with me on the plane. I didn’t allow the plane food to get in the way. You’ve got to keep working out. I’m also just mentally like, this is for life."

We tip our hat to Miss Marissa! Nice going! She's now a healthy size 2. She says she did it on her own, unlike most celebs who have a major weight loss company guiding their every dietary step, as they lose lbs. and gain big money in commercials.

"It wasn't an overnight thing," Marissa says.  "I have no sponsor. I'm totally doing it myself. I actually counted calories and worked out. It's literally 1,200 calories and worked out every day."

Congratulations, Marissa! You look great!

Looking For A Great Sheer Lipstick? Try Colour Riche Colour Caresse

L'Oreal has always had a wonderful lipstick line in Colour Riche. And over the summer, the cosmetics giant introduced Colour Riche Colour Caresse, a lipstick lite line, if you would.

If you hate that heavy lipstick look, and would prefer a more sheer tint to the pout, then the Caresse collection will put a smile on your face. It's not sticky, either. You get a featherlight finish. And it's a buildable lipstick. You can layer it for a deeper, bolder effect.

The Caresse line comes in 16 luscious shades, including this one, called Cotton Pink. We found it at Target for $7.99.

Check out this excellent YouTube demo on the L'Oreal Colour Riche Colour Caresse collection by EmJustLikeYou. She goes through 13 shades, trying each one out on her  lips.

This Is The New 57!! Iman Looks Incredible!

Okay, Iman, the once famous supermodel, probably knows all the beauty tricks and the right beauty people to keep her looking oh-so-fab!

Gee, the woman is 57!! Iman looks incredible!

She also has her own popular cosmetics line. Maybe that's it. Let's look at her skin. It appears just about flawless!

Maybe it's Iman's Luxury Radiance Liquid Makeup ($15, at ULTA.com). It's an oil-free mineral foundation, and is available in 6 shades.

Could that be the secret to Iman's glowing complexion?

If you look closely, it appears that the classic beauty is wearing blue contacts. Her  makeup is  professionally applied and her lips  are wearing a pretty, nude gloss.

All in all, Iman looks gorgeous as she attends a screening of the film, Hotel Noir at Crosby Street Hotel in Manhattan, last evening. Even her long, pin-straight blonde locks appeared healthy and glam in her sexy, all-black ensemble.

Iman looks better than a lot of models half her age!

VS' Karlie Kloss Hides New Cute Cut Under Lots Of Extensions

Karlie Kloss looks so adorable with her brand new chin-length bob! She just got it cut right BEFORE the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night in New York City!

Too bad the powers-that-be would not let the model show off her cute cut before the throngs of VS fans during the sexy catwalk lingerie show. Instead, stylists scrambled to add tons of extensions to Karlie's locks, turning the sweet, wholesome girl-next-door into a seductive glamazon gliding along the runway.

To tell you the truth, we wouldn't know that was Karlie Kloss, without the makeup, extra hair, false lashes and lipstick mouth. But, we do like her new haircut. She looks so very young, and she is, at age 20.

Hair extensions can do incredible things, as you can see from Karlie's before+after pics. Men usually prefer women with longer locks, and since the annual VS Fashion Show features a majority of men in the audience, that is maybe why Karlie had to undergo a quick hair makeover.

By the way, stylists say they came equipped with lots of differently colored extensions to transform the heads of some of these beautiful models before they took their spin on the cat-walk. Celebrity stylist Orlando Pita, told this to InStyle:

"Honestly, it may be unbelievable, but we have probably spent about $75,000 just on extensions alone," he said during the taping. "There is a lot of hair in this room, and a lot of money! There are fans on the runway, so all of the girls get extensions added to avoid getting gaps in their hair while walking."

Interesting background knowledge for a super fashion show.

If you're looking to add some instant length and glam to your tresses, try some extensions We found some nice ones at LuxyHair.  These girls have some super how-tos on YouTube!

First Lady Fashion: Bolero Plays Big Role

First Lady Michelle Obama is keeping the 1950s classic bolero an important, stylish piece to her White House wardrobe, once again this Fall.

Last  night, or should we say, actually around 1:30 this AM, Mrs. Obama walked out to thunderous applause wearing a Michael Kors sleeveless dress, and a simple, black bolero sweater.

We love the versatility and elegance of the bolero. It is flattering to most, covers up the arms if you don't care to show them, and focuses the attention on the face, bosom, and neck.

Bolero shrugs, jackets, and sweaters NEVER go out of style. Just give it a few days, and you will see boleros being purchased by the hundreds, because First lady Michelle's fashion sense is admired and copied by many.

You can find bolero sweaters just about everywhere. We found some:

L'Wren Scott Black Bolero, $895.

House of Frasier Shawl Collar Bolero, $48.

Alaia Cardigan, $1,025.

Wet Seal Eyelash Knit Bolero, $24.50, now 30% off).
