Top 10: Hairstyles of the Week 2/17/12

Top 10: Hairstyles of the Week 2/17/12
By · February 16, 2012October 28, 2020
01
#10: India.Arie

Where: The MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute in Los Angeles.

Why: It’s been a while since India debuted a new look and we are enthralled by her layered, loc’d bob.

02
#9: Naomi Campbell

Where: The Savoy Hotel in London, England.

Why: Naomi is a legendary style star and we adore this long waves and straight bangs duo on her.

03
#8: Corinne Bailey Rae

Where: The Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Why: Corinne updated her trademark natural spirals with a one-sided style that’s slightly messy yet refined.

04
#7: LaLa Anthony

Where: ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, CA.

Why: LaLa is the queen of topknots but this time she upgraded her updo with a chic, braided headband.

05
#6: Toni Braxton

Where: The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles.

Why: Toni loves to experiment with extensions and she does it oh so well. These bone straight, high-shine strands are nothing short of amazing.

06
#5: Alicia Keys

Where: The Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Why: Alicia has been wearing her hair down a lot lately, so her silky, shiny pompadour was a breath of fresh air.

07
#4: Naomie Harris

Where: The ELLE Style Awards in London, England.

Why: Naomie’s blunt-cut hair is edgy with a touch of glam.

08
#3: Thandie Newton

Where: The premiere of Good Deeds in Los Angeles.

Why:Thandie’s curly, side-poof is a little cooky, but the starlet makes this style chic and charming.

09
#2: Jessica White

Where: The Rolando Santana Fall 2012 Fashion Show.

Why: With her lush, eyebrow-grazing bangs and ebony-hued strands, Jessica was front-row fabulous.

10
#1: Rihanna

Where: The Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Why: We don’t know what to love more — Rihanna’s new blonde look or the fact that she’s a smokin’ hot hair chameleon.

11

12
1193673

Where: The 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute in Los Angeles.

Why: Corine’s even-toned skin, dark eyeliner and fuchsia lip create a winning trio. TEXT.
