Gabrielle Union’s Hairstylist And Why She Loves These Products

Jul 11, 2012 @ 3:25 pm

We caught up with celebrity hairstylist Kiyah Wright and asked her to name her all-time favorite products. She’s a fan of the Tancho Tique Stick ($16; amazon.com) which she’s used to style Gabrielle Union, Kerry Washington and Jennifer Hudson. “This lavender-scented wax stick imparts both polished and piece-y strands,” she told InStyle.com. “Use a dab on your fingertips to smooth around the hairline or to create styles with a rock and roll texture.” Great for taming frizz and pesky fly-aways! And to add a little volume, she recommends John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Lavish Lift Root Booster ($6; drugstore.com) “It leaves no weight or residue on the hair after blow drying.” Check out more picks from celebrity stylists in our gallery!

The LWD (little white dress) is summer’s answer to the LBD, and celebrities love the look. “I’m a big fan of something feminine, but also strong, and I feel like this gets it,” Minka Kelly told InStyle.com of her Z Spoke by Zac Posen lace design at the Veuve Cliquot Polo Classic this month. And other stars agree, including Gabrielle Union, Nina Dobrev (in MaxMara), and Lauren Conrad (in Sparkle & Fade for Urban Outfitters top and a Paper Crown skirt). As for tips for how to wear this look with confidence, Kelly offered a few words of wisdom: “As long as you’re comfortable and as long as you’re confident, it will be sexy.” Keep that in mind when getting dressed this weekend!

The Color Celebrities Love This Spring

While the color authorities at Pantone predicted 2012 to be a year filled with tangerine orange in the fashion world, celebrities have gone in a much sunnier direction. By the end of Q1, it seems yellow is one of the most popular red carpet choices, with stars like Ahna O’Reilly, Elizabeth Banks, Nicole Richie, and Gabrielle Union being just a few of those who chose the eye-popping hue. We love how this lemon shade works on all skin tones and can immediately brighten up your face without washing you out. Of course, this color is a head-turner, so if you want to make an impression, consider wearing it head-to-toe. Or, if you don’t want to be a walking ray of light, go for a more subtle look with a single piece, like a skirt, blouse, shoes, or bangle. Tell us: Do you like to wear yellow?
