EYE OF THE TIGRESS
Amidst all the speculations around ‘Becky with great hair’ in her latest album Lemonade, Beyonce slayed it on the red carpet. She went for a bold dark cat eye, keeping the rest of her make-up in neutral tones. Center-parted hair completed her look.
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE LOCKS
Rita Ora shimmered on the red carpet for more than one reason. The songstress pulled off a glamorous metallic Vera Wang feathered gown. She added shimmery eye make-up and a subtle pink lip but it was her mane that caught one’s eye with the mirrored applique effect.
GUNNING FOR GOLD
Keeping with the metallic theme that was prominent through the night, Lily Aldridge went for statement brows giving hers a gilded touch. The supermodel went for a bronzed look, sleek pulled-back locks and let her brows do the talking painting them in a gold hue matching her Michael Kors gown.

HAIR SHE COMES
Lupita Nyong’o made quite an entrance on the red carpet with her towering hair do. While some felt the high bubble knot style was a tribute to her Kenyan background, others compared it to the popular character Marge Simpson. Either way, the stacked buns sure made heads turn.
