Jennifer Hudson's Classic Beauty

One of my favorite singers/actresses on her way up has got to be Jennifer Hudson. I thought she was absolutely beautiful when she was a plus-sized girl, and I think she's still stunning, after having lost some 50 pounds or so, and going from a size 16 dress size to a 6. While I might have my own issues with the fact that she chose to lose the weight immediately after giving birth, thus buying into the Hollywood Postpartum Race to be skinny the "fastest". I think that women have enough pressure on them to be thin. The last thing you need after having a baby is to be bombarded by images of how quickly JLo, Posh, Britney, Nicole and crew have dropped back down to a barely attainable size 0. But I digress...good for you Jennifer...I ain't mad at ya.

I chose Jennifer for today's blog entry, because quite simply, I rarely see a picture where she isn't looking fabulous. She reminds me of the starlets of yesteryear; of a time when beauty was about being beautiful and feminine, not garish and outlandish like some of the celebutants we see so much in the media. I love when a woman is in touch with her feminine side and embraces it as well as Jennifer does. Her makeup is always on point (and I'm not even going to TOUCH those paparazzi pics of her jogging sans makeup - puhleeeez...you wanna see me in the morning??) Her hairstyle is always evolving; whether she's wearing it short, or super long with a wig or extensions like those pictured here. Girl, is that Miss MyMy's 20' Malaysian straight you're wearing??? Jennifer Hudson, for epitomizing classic beauty, Miss MyMy gives you a well deserved and very rare 5 MyMy's out of 5!

Fall 2010 FashionTrends Report

Dominating the runways for Fall 2010 is long, straight hair. Miss MyMy's personal favorite! I’m currently sporting a 30' medium curl, flat ironed bone straight.

Hair MUST have texture and movement! To achieve this look, start with clean, moisturized hair and finish with a light serum. We LOVE Miss MyMy's Hair Essence styling serum

Also a personal favourite of mine is deep red lips as seen on singer Sade. I prefer a bluish red like MAC's Russian Red. It's such a classic shade, and a must-have for your makeup bag. This look is being shown on the runways of Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana and Donna Karan. The key to this look is pairing bold lips with minimal eye makeup.

Get In Tune With Your Inner Diva!

Some of the best ways to bring out your inner diva, other than hair, is to accessorize with a really great bag or a fabulous pair of shoes. Think of how stylish those celebs look in just jeans and a T-shirt. Why? Because they're usually seen carrying a large uuuber fabulous bag and wearing something totally enviable on their feet.

MyMy’s Favs:

Hermes: Fashionistas know a must-have from Hermes is the Kelly Relax bag. A more casual version of the original with a larger handle and roomier interior. This is part of Jean Paul Gaultier’s last fall collection so they will soon become a much sought-after collectible Get it if you can, while you can!

Louis Vuitton: The new speedy bag available sequined, draped in lace or fur…fun fun fun.

Make sure your footwear is current…don’t be seen without your wedges, shearling, fur and military inspired kicks like these: Anna Locking Tory Burch canvas and leather peep-toe booties, and the Christian Louboutin Toundra platform bootie in calf leather with coyote fur and double buckle straps. My FAVOURITE boot this season, however, HAS to be the combat boot inspired platformAlta Bouton, by Christian Louboutin. Something about that pyramid button-and-loop closure combined with that 5 and 3/4 inch heel (and signature red leather sole) just makes me warm all over!
