The Great Gatsby Hair Designer on Styling 300 Extras and Staying True to the 1920s
The Great Gatsby finally opened this weekend, and did a pretty boffo box office (although it got some mixed reviews). But no matter what you thought about the film overall, no one can argue it wasn’t visually stunning. The combination of sets, costumes, hair and makeup all made for a gorgeous two and a half hours.
We already spoke in depth with costume and set designer Catherine Martin, but we wanted to hear all about the film’s incredible 1920s hair styles too. Kerry Warn, the film’s hair designer, was on-hand to answer all our burning questions. Read on.

Even Rihanna has fat days, apparently. And she designed parts of her second collection for UK high street brand River Island with fat days in mind. To which we say, thanks Rih. The rest of the collection looks pretty cute too.

How to Wear a Great Gatsby-Inspired Headpiece
The costumes in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby (which finally opens today) are gorgeous confections with an over-the-top 1920s sensibility. In almost every scene, those outfits are topped off with headbands, headwraps, or barrettes–and we were absolutely captivated by the look. (Downton Abbey and the recent spring couture shows have also recently showcased some amazing ’20s style head gear.)
The good news is that you can totally work this trend without looking like Daisy Buchanan’s BFF or the fourth sister from Downton Abbey. Trust us (and experts headpiece makers like Eugenia Kim and Jennifer Behr).
Kardashians Forced to Change Name of Beauty Line Following Million Dollar Lawsuit
The Kardashians have been forced to change the name of their beauty line, in the wake of a $10 million lawsuit filed by the similarly-named Kroma (no ‘H’) cosmetics line, WWD is reporting. Khroma will heretofore be known as…wait for it…Kardashian Beauty. Super original, right?
Michelle Obama Wears Prabal Prints to Meet Prince Harry
Prince Harry is in the United States this week for a series of official visits, and he kicked off his trip by joining Michelle Obama at a White House reception honoring military moms. We’re pretty sure Harry was on his best behavior–the First Lady certainly wouldn’t tolerate any of his shenanigans at her house.

Beauty Tips We Learned from Our Moms
To celebrate Mother’s Day (which is this Sunday, so don’t forget to call your mom!), we’ve asked tons of people in the fashion and beauty industries for the most memorable beauty tip their moms ever gave them. Our moms are our first teachers after all. While we got some traditional mom-isms like, “Always wash your face!” we got plenty of unique bits of wisdom, too. (There are also a disproportionate amount of women who learned to worship at the altar of Clinique’s Three-Step System thanks to their moms.)
Click through to see what Jerry Hall, Georgia May Jagger, Pat Cleveland, Doutzen Kroes, Aerin Lauder and tons more learned from their moms.
Karl Lagerfeld Stages Toned Down Chanel Cruise Show in Singapore
Karl Lagerfeld staged the 2014 Chanel Cruise show in Singapore today, and we have to say it was one of the most low-key Chanel shows we’ve seen in many seasons. Click through to see the collection.

A Close-Up Look at the Most Dramatic Eye Makeup at the Met Gala
Run-of-the-mill red carpets usually feature a lot of smoky eyes, nude lips, and artfully highlighted brow bones. But throw a punk theme in there, and suddenly you have January Jones looking like she escaped from a Gareth Pugh runway.
Yes, there were plenty of safe, gorgeous makeup looks at the Met Gala last night, but a handful of celebs really had fun with their eye makeup, either breaking out the color or the arty graphic eyeliner.
Lululemon Execs Received Increased Bonus Incentive Plan Days Before See-Through Pants Recall
Remember that butt-crack-joke-filled week back in March, when Lululemon issued a recall of 17% of their black Luon pants because of an unacceptable level of sheerness, resulting in a predicated $67 million loss in sales? Well, it turns out that Lululemon gave their executives a fat new bonus incentive plan mere days before the recall was announced. Convenient, right?
The Most Extreme Hair from the Met Gala Red Carpet
Sure, some celebs chose to ignore the punk theme at last night’s Met Gala completely. (Couldn’t you at least have worn a token spike or two, Anna Wintour?) But we were pleasantly surprised to see how many celebs did make an effort, especially with their hair and makeup.
