Andie MacDowell In 2011 Melbourne Fashion Festival

Andie MacDowell,  her magnificent curls and big smile made the early 1990s a lot more tolerable for many of us who couldn't identify with the Kate Moss aesthetics. Upon seeing a bunch of red carpet photos from the 2011 Melbourne Fashion Festival in Australia I thought she might have cut her hair, but apparently it's just an updo and the Andie MacDowell legend is as gorgeous as ever:

And here's one from the 90s, just because:

Kate Winslet & Michelle Williams- Blonde & blonder

There's something about this photo of Michelle Williams and Kate Williams at the Blue Valentine premiere earlier this week. Both of them are not only beautiful but also have so much expression in their faces and eyes. Still, I'm not sure how I feel about Michelle's platinum blond shade- doesn't it make her look older than she is (Kate Winslet is 35 while Michelle Williams is 30)?

Three AMA Hair Moments

The AMAs were full of glitz, sheer lace and that Bieber kid. Not very interesting, except for these three looks. Jessica Alba is simply stunning. I can't say I've ever seen her act or do anything interesting, but she's so easy on the eyes I'd be happy to see more. While there were many loose waves on the red carpet (are we going into the era of "the Middleton"?), Jessica is classy and classic.

I didn't recognize Taylor Swift at first. Taylor seems to have replaced the curling iron with a flat one. She looks more mature and incredibly beautiful.

Rihanna is wearing a wig, of course, but I really like this one. Retro, different and fun- and worlds better than the other wigs she's been sporting lately. I preferred the other Elie Saab Couture gown she wore that night, in sea-foam green, but this one was quite interesting on her, too.

Leighton Meester For Harry Winston

It took me a while to figure out why I'm not completely sold on Leighton Meester's look, and it's not the black lace Marchesa jumpsuit(!). I get what she was going for and there is something ethereal about the pale face and delicate hairstyle. But the frosted finish of her lipstick is killing the vibe. It's just off.
