Taylor Momsen A Fashion Icon of the Century
Yes, this is one girl that started off dowdy and mousy, but when we look back on this time, we will know that she is definitely a trend setter, as gone are the days of dowdy for Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen, and these days she just can’t seem to look anything but fabulous and glamorous no matter what look she is sporting. Here she is showing off her true Upper East Side style in New York City while filming Gossip Girl. She was spotted on set with a bag from Mood fabric store, wearing a gorgeous ensemble of high heeled boots and super skinny jeans. And the hair has been casually styled with some volume and loose waves, toss on a pair of aviators in that platinum look and you get nothing but fab. Oh yes, once again, Taylor is looking about as fabulous as it gets, with gorgeous platinum colored locks that have been styled into gorgeous loose waves. And this is one girl who it seems no matter how she is dressed, her style is one that is definitely envied. And she can certainly pull just about any look off off. And if you haven’t guessed what the deal is with this hair style, then you may want to put some contemporary back into your locks as this long and loose look is the beauty version of the boyfriend jean. It’s everywhere right now.
To get this look, start off by scrunching some pomade or volumizing mousse into your hair. Blow dry with a round bristle brush, or you can wind sections around your hair if you prefer. This winding effect will make your waves a little more swingy than usual. You can use a curling iron to set stronger waves once you have done this, but instead of clamping the iron onto your hair, wind the hair section around the barrel of the curling iron. This way the ends won’t curl as tight, and they will stick out just enough to give you this pretty tousled look. After you have finished curling, shake your hair out and finger comb it as you go through the day, and you will have long luscious waves lasting all day, and into the night even if you like.
