PRIYANKA BOSE AT THE 89TH ACADEMY AWARDS ®

Last night at the 89th Academy Awards ® “Lion” actress Priyanka Bose wore a custom-made eco-conscious Vivienne Westwood Couture gown. The gown was accessorized with exclusive pieces from Atelier Swarovski’s first fine jewelry collection and featured Swarovski crystal in the dress detailing. Both gown and jewelry were worn in support of Suzy Amis Cameron’s Red Carpet Green Dress initiative. In 2009, Amis Cameron created Red Carpet Green Dress with the goal of creating awareness for the importance of sustainable practices in fashion. Each year, Red Carpet Green Dress works with international designers to create sustainable evening wear to showcase during the Academy Awards®.

The custom designed gown, is created in a jewel toned silk and lurex floral jacquard fabric, recycled from a past Vivienne Westwood collection. The pattern cutting technique has been designed to keep waste to an absolute minimum, using only 320 cms for the design. Leftover sequin film, usually left as waste from sequin production, is embroidered to the bodice of the dress creating a honeycomb effect, highlighted with reclaimed Swarovski crystals for added sparkle.

Inspired by nature and driven by science, Swarovski brings conscious luxury and innovation to the red carpet with the Atelier Swarovski Fine Jewelry Collection, handcrafted in a Parisian atelier and featuring Swarovski Created Diamonds and crystals. Swarovski Created Diamonds are grown in a state-of-the-art lab and have the same optical, chemical and physical attributes as mined diamonds.

“It was a dream come true to be able to wear this custom-made Vivienne Westwood gown and the first collection of Atelier Swarovski Fine Jewelry,” gushed Bose. “I felt like a queen! To be a part of this campaign that helps improve our environment and give back is a powerful thing. I try to live a minimalist lifestyle, but I am constantly learning and Red Carpet Green Dress has taught me that we can all do our part to help.”

Bose joined the rest of the cast for the current six-time nominated film “Lion”. Bose portrays “Kamla Munshi” alongside Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman in the feature film.

To qualify as a Red Carpet Green Dress eco-conscious garment, each piece must either be made from recycled, organic or repurposed materials, use handmade detailing or incorporate natural dye processing – always with a focus on minimal negative impact on the environment, and environmentally and socially responsible design.

For the 2017 Oscars-inspired campaign, Red Carpet Green Dress partnered with Atelier Swarovski and had the support of Earth Friendly Products, maker of ECOS™ Laundry Detergent to help raise funds for MUSE School CA. MUSE School CA is an environmental non-profit educational organization Amis Cameron founded in Calabasas, Calif., with her sister Rebecca Amis. The financial assistance enables students to access a transformative educational experience. MUSE School CA ensures small class size, personalized instruction and learning practices; all set within an inspiring and beautiful campus.

“Red Carpet Green Dress is always researching ways to help improve the planet and the lives of others,” states actress and environmental activist Amis Cameron. “As a culture, we are inundated with messaging of wanting and needing the latest ‘new’ product. But by recycling gowns, we are making the ‘old’ new again and finding the beauty that already exists. It is an important form of sustainability.”

The spaghetti strap couture dress, which originally debuted in Paris in January 2005, is embroidered with cream crystals and waves of small white jet beads featured in a two-tiered skirt. The dramatic plunging bodice is made of jet and black crystal teardrops and is completed with a black satin cummerbund at the waist.

Red Carpet Ready Beauty Secrets

Millions of people enjoy tuning into the many award shows that take place throughout the year on television. They love to see the celebrities make their way down the red carpet, stopping to pose for the cameras and crowds. From the Grammys to the Globes, and now with the anticipation of the Oscars, we’re letting people know the secrets behind being red carpet ready. When it comes down to it, a lot of it all is about being prepared.

“I’m the type of person who is always prepared for any type of red carpet event,” said Gretchen Rossi, “Real Housewives of OC” alum and Creative Director of The Gretchen Christine Collection. “I keep a stash of goodies in my car and in my clutch, so I’m always prepared when doing media events. Savvy Travelers beauty wipes save me time and time again.”

Here are some red carpet beauty secrets that everyone can use:

  • Stay fresh. Opt for staying fresh and clean while on the go by keeping individually wrapped wipes on hand. You, your friend, or your publicist can keep them in their clutch and have them ready. This is a simple way to keep it classy. Savvy Travelers offers a variety of designer wipes that are individually wrapped and convenient.
  • Handle sweat. For that last-minute touch-up before stepping out of the limo and hitting the carpet for interviews, grab a No Sweat wipe and take care of that under-the-boob sweat that some of us are lucky enough to have. Also, keeping designer luxe beauty wipes on hand will help ensure there won’t be any white deodorant flakes on that designer Alexander Wang gown. The No Sweat wipes are also great for media interviews and working the red carpet. Like Manny on the Streetz from “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” who uses a No Sweat wipe on his forehead and no longer had sweat looming under the red carpet lighting when he’s conducting interviews.
  • Kill germs. There is a lot of shaking hands as you walk down the red carpet, so be sure to have Klean Upz to the rescue. The convenient sanitizing wipes will help keep hands clean, moisturized, and will help keep all those germs at bay.
  • Freshen breath. Speaking with a lot of people as you make your way down the red carpet calls for having fresh breath. Don’t worry about that garlic you ate at dinner when you have a Speak Easy wipe handy. They offer a quick and convenient way to have fresh breath anywhere, and at anytime (and no one wants that embarrassing moment of having food in their teeth)!
  • Clean it off. Take Offz wipes will give you a quick and easy way to wash your face without water at the end of a long event. These wipes are a facial cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that removes waterproof and high definition stage makeup. They contain aloe vera, cucumber, vitamin E, chamomile, and botanical extracts.
  • Wipe it down. Everyone has to take some selfies to post on red carpet night. Keep an In The Klear wipe handy that can be used for quickly cleaning the camera lens on your phone. Never miss a chance to get a great selfie. These lint-free wipes are designed for cleaning camera lenses, screens, and glasses.

“By keeping a collection of individually wrapped beauty wipes in your clutch, you are ready for any situation that may come up as you enjoy the red carpet experience,” explains keynote speaker and serial entrepreneur, Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of Savvy Travelers. “Not only will you look and feel beautiful, but you will smell great, curb the germs, and keep your confidence high.”

Savvy Travelers offers a Beauty Bundle Kit, which offers individually wrapped makeup removing wipes, mouth cleaning wipes, and antiperspirant wipes. Users can sign up for a bundle subscription kit that offers a three-month supply of wipes. All Savvy Travelers’ wipes are convenient, individually wrapped, biodegradable, compostable, and cruelty free.

Red Prom Dress Trends Inspired By The Grammys

Prom is perhaps the most important night in a teenager’s life, especially for girls who usually start preparing for this special occasion months ahead. A great prom night will make high school even more memorable and finding red prom dresses from top designers will make or break if the night is successful or not.

All details should be planned to perfection beforehand and no prom night could be regarded as being perfect without an amazing dress which suits the occasion. Girls these days look like models and their parents are willing to spend whatever amount of money to make sure that their daughters look like princesses.

Prom dresses can prove to be a tough find as they are being ordered months before the event takes place from famous designers from around the world and not only will a great dress confer a feeling of luxury and exquisiteness but a girl who wears a gorgeous dress will surely be the talk of the town for weeks on end.

Those who are not lucky enough to have bought a designer dress, the internet comes up for help as there are a wide array of online stores to choose from when selecting the perfect dress for the perfect occasion. Options are extremely numerous and a quick online search is over within minutes. Deciding upon what dress to buy is entirely different as colors and styles vary from website to website and not only are girls needed to go through all the hassles of picking the right one but they do not have the warranty of matching their size perfectly.

2017 Grammys Red Carpet Trends

It is strongly advised that girls who want to order a dress from the web should do it weeks before the grand event to make sure it fits perfectly. A tailor can do some modifications in a short amount of time to make sure that every girl feels as confident as ever when she wears her favorite dress.

Another option is to opt for a tailor’s help as they will make everything from color and style highly customizable and he will also take into account one’s preferences regarding fashion. Not only does he create the dress but can also give girls some fashion-related advice and how a dress should look like in accordance to one’s body type as well as the colors which fit to a certain design.

Make sure that one does not lose sight of last-minute preparations such as make-up and hairstyle so book your stylist beforehand to make sure that everything goes according to plan on this big night of everyone’s lives.

Grammys GTL: Demi Lovato and Tinashe with John Frieda Hair Care

For tonight’s 59th Annual Grammy Awards, Demi Lovato’s hair made a sultry statement.
Inspiration: Clyde was inspired by Demi’s sexy crocheted Julien McDonald gown to create long, loose mermaid waves

Step-by-step tips on how to recreate her look:

  • To start, apply a golf ball sized amount of John Frieda Frizz Ease  Dream Curls Air-Dry Waves Styling Foam section to section, from root to tip, throughout wet hair
  • For longer hair like Demi’s, apply product liberally to ensure hair is completely saturated with the foam
  • Allow hair to air dry–in this case, during the duration of makeup application–gently scrunching pieces during the drying process
  • Once dry, take a 3/4 inch curling iron and bend strategic pieces throughout the hair, enhancing and defining the waves but pulling them loose as they cool for an elongated finish
  • To add sheen and the appearance of a “wet” finish, pump two palm-fulls of John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Six Effects + Serum and work it through hair, leaving hair with a beautiful shiny finish to glisten under the lights on the red carpet and the stage

 

Marcia Hamilton styles Tinashe for the 2017 Grammys
On tonight’s Grammys red carpet, Tinashe’s hair says she is bold and unapologetic.
Inspiration: As Tinashe usually wears her hair down to perform, Marcia wanted something off her face and her shoulders for the red carpet–but edgier than the usual braid.

Step-by-step tips on how to recreate her look:

  • To prep below blowing dry, apply a cocktail of  John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Six Effects +  Serum  and John Frieda Frizz Ease Straight Fixation Styling Creme to wet hair
  • Blow dry hair straight almost entirely with a paddle brush, but concentrate on lifting hair at the roots but blowdrying with a round boar-bristly brush
  • If necessary, use a flatiron to give hair an even sleeker look, with exception of any face framing pieces
  • Pin two curls on either side of the head and let them set
  • Take a triangular piece of hair in the center of the back of the head, separate into two pieces and knot
  • Continue to pull pieces of hair from the sides of the head and knot in the back, creating a series of knots from the center of the head down the neck
  • After all hair as been gathered and knotted, twirl the bottom of the hair, twist it up and pin in the back
  • Release the pinned curls in the front of the head, brush them out, and finish by applying a light amount of John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Styling Creme

Choosing The Perfect Pair of Shoes For the Right Occasion

Wearing the right pair of shoes can protect us from external factors which would otherwise harm us such as cold weather, dirt or sharp object.  They have become a staple fashion accessory when paired with the correct clothes will give everyone a final touch to complete the final look of a person.

The first shoes created were initially designed to fulfill the role of protection from various harms but as people have honed their skills during the passage of time they’ve become a status symbol. People of wealth have enjoyed the benefits of having a tailor-made pair of shoes for centuries and have given them a symbol of high status.

Notwithstanding the fact that shoes now fulfill a crucial role in our lives, ever since they have started to be mass-produced around the world they have become a symbol of fashion which have the ability to make or break one’s appearance if not chosen accordingly or not paired well with a specific set of clothes.

Women’s Shoes by Spartoo for example go extremely well when paired with casual clothes such as a pair of jeans and a T-Shirt to give everyone that sporty look at the same time being comfortable and make people feel at leisure. Shoe designers have transformed shoes into pieces of art and not only will a great crafted pair set you back a hefty amount of money but one should queue up a waiting list in order to benefit for such amazing works of minute craftsmanship taking into account there is a huge demand for them.

Shoes play a crucial role in fashion and they have even led to some stereotypes regarding women being shoe addicts but nowadays this same principle applies to men as well. People now perceive shoes as a statement of fashion and they have been the most important accessory for every occasion and not only are they the most important accessory in our wardrobes but they also confer the wearer a feeling of high status and a great degree of confidence if they are of top quality.

Notwithstanding for which occasion they are worn, either at a special event or just for going out for a quick run, there are a lot of factors which should be taken in consideration such as build quality, design and functionality when choosing the perfect pair. No matter if one wishes to dash out large amounts of money on designer shoes or just want to grab a cheap pair to go for a run, there is always the right pair for the right occasion.
