Here some of the beautiful celebrities who attended the Glamour Magazine 2009 Women of the Year Honors last night.

Rihanna: wow look at the dress, and Rihanna’s hair color is looking blonder by the second. Personally I’m not a huge fan of Rihanna’s hairdo. Maybe her stylists try to position her as edgy and different, but I much prefer Rihanna in longer more feminine hair. But, this is just me.

Rihanna looks certainly bigger than life on her new album cover for her single “Russian Roulette“. Everything is to perfection with a bit of an edge. I like the highlights in her hair, a nice break from her usual black hair color. Expect, where is the rest of her clothes? Rihanna is a rock star after all so I guess it works!

Purple is in and everywhere. Probably the hottest makeup trend this season. We see purple nail polish, smoky eye, and now purple lips. Quite a nice shade for fall and winter. Here is lovely Rihanna in purple glossy lips.

To get Rihanna’s inspired purple lips try: MAC Faultlessly F/W Lipstick: a Blackened blue violet Amplified (image on left). Or, MAC New Berry Lipglass: a Deep plum Cream (image on right). Both from the NEW MAC Trend F/W ‘09. Wear then alone or mixed them up. I like to always apply the lipgloss first then the lipstick on top. You get a more sheer effect and you are not ruining your lipgloss brush.

Celebrity hair watch: Rihanna Got New Blonde Highlights.

Rihanna seems to not be afraid to try out trends straight off the runways. Rihanna’s very short haircut now gets blonde highlights! It reminds me of the 80’s punk look (George Michael “Wake Me Up Before You GO GO”?). I’ve seen the 80’s inspired look and hairstyles making a comeback backstage at Betsey Johnson Spring 2010, during New York Fashion Week. With 80’s classic music hits playing in the background, I must add. Loved it!!

Rihanna is also sporting a fall makeup trend: dark purple lips.

To get Rihanna’s dark purple inspired lips try MAC Mattene Lipstick in Night Violet. Shade description: Deep purple grape (Matte).

To get Rihanna’s weightless volume and ‘guts’ to hair try: Aerate 08 bodifying cream-mousse by Redken. This new mousse was a huge hit backstage during New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 at shows like: Badgley Mischka and Betsey Johnson. I’ve been using this mousse myself for the past week, and it works amazing to tame my very wavy frizz-prone hair, air dried or blow dried. According to Redken’s lead hairstylist backstage Peter Gray: many people afraid of a mousse as a styling product because all they think is the 80’s and that big hair. But in his opinion, mousse was the best thing invented for hair. He also said that most people afraid of styling products which shouldn’t be the case. Styling products are here to help you get the hairstyle you want. Also it is very important to apply styling products in the right way: use the right brush to apply or the right quantity.

 BTW: Do you love Rihanna’s new blonde highlights?
