TM and Marta Walsh has got the word that Riccardo Tisci for The House of Givenchy ”…designed all costumes worn by Madonna during her half time performance at the Superbowl on February 5th, 2012 in Indianapolis.

Madonna in Givenchy Haute Couture at Superbowl 2012 half time show Indianapolis, USA

Designed as part of the spectacle, all costumes were changed on stage, from an all over hand-embroidered gold cape that served as the performance’s opener, to the unveiling of a black mini dress worn with its hand-studded belt and an embellished black coat that completed the three costumes set : Madonna’s legendary music met Riccardo Tisci’s codes in what seemed to be the most perfect way.

Channeling Riccardo Tisci’s work for Givenchy in the past years, the designs for Madonna’s Superbowl performance incorporate signature references such as bold leopard print, three-dimensional embellishments, graphic placements and evocative cuts. Following my collaboration with Madonna on her last tour three years ago, it is a great honor for me to be a part of yet another historical and iconic moment.

People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna. I am so happy that, after being busy in other scenes, she decided to go back on a music stage. Not only to bring us Music, but also to make such a statement of Performance and Fashion.-Riccardo Tisci

Wearing Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci, Madonna performed a 12 minutes set including some of her greatest hits (“Vogue”, “Music”, “Express yourself”) and her brand new single (“Give me all your luvin’” featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.) for the first time.

Gold cape all over hand-embroidered with gold metal cut out pieces, studs, crystals, sequins and paillettes, lined in leopard-print chiffon. Black mini dress in silk cady, worn with leopard print short cape in silk charmeuse hand-embroidered with gold metal cut out pieces, studs, crystals, sequins and paillettes and a black python hand-studded and hand-embroidered belt with its removable matching flaps. Black coat in silk cady hand-embroidered with shiny black rectangular sequins and micro pearls. Gold metal hat hand-embroidered with crystals. All worn with hand embroidered nappa leather gloves.”

Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci showed his first presentation-style couture show of ten stunning looks in Paris in July 2010, having decided intimate surroundings and fewer looks was better than a runway for viewing couture. “My style is about the little details,” said Tisci. “If a dress goes by with the kind of speed of my shows, you might go, ‘Oh, there’s a lace dress.’ You won’t see why it took 1,600 hours to make.” Read full article in www.coutorture.com. BTW Marta Walsh is seriously obsessed with the Givenchy Haute Couture Fall 2010 lace dress below! I will definitely wear it, now all I have to do is just find a venue:)

With all the buzz at the Oscars 2010, Zoe Saldana’s glamorous gown and looks had all eyes on her!

The hairstyle: “We wanted to to have an editorial look because she was wearing Givenchy. We also didn’t want the hair and make up to compete with the dress so we created an elegant but effortless look.”-TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist Mara Roszak

How to get Zoe Saldana’s Oscars 2010 super-chic up-do:

1. Apply TRESemmé Naturals Lightweight Mousse all over damp hair and blow dry away from the face with volume, flipping head upside down when the hair is almost dry to finish.

2. Separate the crown from the rest of the hair and pull back sides and back into a tight ponytail. Pull the hair almost all the way through, leaving the ends tucked into the pony tail holder to create a half bun shape. Let a few pieces in the back fall out for a messier look.

3. Tease the top of the hair, pull back to meet the back and pin, criss-crossing the bobby pins for a secure hold. Spray all over with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray.

4. My Stylist Secret: Spray hairspray on finger tips and gently pull the hair around the face with your fingers to loosen the hair, giving it an organic effortless look.

I’m getting mixed comments on Scarlett Johansson’s hairdo At The Moet & Chandon Tribute To Cinema. Some, like myself  love it, and some don’t. I thought to bring to you the scoop on how to get Scarlett’s hairdo, anyways, just in case you do want to try this look at home.

Celebrity hairdresser David Babaii traveled across the ocean to Tokyo, Japan to create this Red Carpet look for actress Scarlett Johannson at the Moet & Chandon “Tribute to Cinema” event on October 20, 2009.

The hair jewelry worn by Scarlett Johannson is DeBeers. Scarlett’s dress was Givenchy with Dior shoes.

To create this “power look” and accentuate her fire red dress, David Babaii took Scarlett Johansson’s long strawberry blonde hair and transformed her tresses into a dramatic side swept, short textured bob. After rough drying her locks with Hair Polish applied to damp hair, David loosely twirled large sections of hair and sprayed them with Bohemian Beach Spray, while finishing the drying process.

When hair was completely dried, he used his fingers as a comb to gently loosen the twirled sections. He continued using his fingers to sweep hair to one side as not to disturb the texture he achieved, cupping her long locks under giving the illusion of shorter hair. He secured the style with bobby pins and sprayed his Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.

Please visit www.db4wildaid.com  for information on where to purchase the David Babaii for WildAid product line.

How hot is Monica Cruz? No, that’s not Penelope Cruz, it’s Monica, her sister. Don’t they look alike? It took me few minutes to realize it wasn’t Penelope. Monica is the ultimate brunette beauty. She almost makes me want to dye my hair brown again! I also love her very black smoky eye, the classic.  Any Thoughts guys?

To get Monica Cruz’ black smoky eye try Magic Kajal Eye Pencil by Givenchy, $21.50. This eye pencil allows you to apply a precise line or a create a smudge or smoky eye effect.

And, what do you think about Monica smoking in photo below? Maybe it’s a cultural thing. It was shot for Spanish Elle, maybe smoking it’s not as big a deal as in the U.S.

Megan Fox is gracing the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009. Wait, it’s not October yet! Nonetheless, I don’t mind the sneak peek to Megan’s cover. I approve Megan’s hairstyle. You can never go wrong with straight smooth hair parted in the middle. I do it all the time, lol:)

Wonder how to get Megan Fox’s look on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009? Here are some tips! 

I detect grey nail polish. To get Megan Fox’s grey nails try MAC Hello Kitty Nail Polish in On The Prowl.

To get Megan Fox’s sexy long eye lashes try ÔSCILLATION POWERBOOSTER by Lancôme: A two-in-one vibrating lash primer and conditioner that boosts the appearance of lash growth. HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara by Lancôme: The ultimate instant-volume mascara for lash drama. I use both the lash primer and mascara by Lancôme and they work amazing in getting my lashes super long, full, and Hollywood worthy.

To add more drama and difintion to eyes use a black eye liner to upper lash line, and the corner of eyes try: Prescriptives NEW Longwear Kohl Liner in black hohl. Or, Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil in magic black.
