The Embellished Braid
I first saw this look on Shay Mitchell ’ s Instagram , above . It ’ s a row of tiny gold rings looped into a French braid — delicate but also cool . ( Ask a friend for help at home !) Next I clicked over to her hairstylist Chris Appleton ’ s account and discovered more ways to work in rings . For me : a multibraid look , accented with mini metal cuffs , below . — J . M .

The Belted Pony
Backstage at Tibi , it looked at first as if they were doing just another low-slung ponytail . Then I noticed hairstylist Frank Rizzieri fastening this long fabric over the base ( over an elastic ); it fell to the same length as the pony ’ s end . And then I saw the buckle . I love belted anything — swimsuits , jumpsuits . Now , apparently , I ’ ll be belting my hair too . — Julianne Carell , @ juliannecarell

When vlogger Jackie Aina challenged the YouTube beauty community to post tutorials using only blackowned makeup brands ( a . k . a . B . O . M . B .), she wanted contributions from all users . “ Just because you don ’ t wear the same foundation shade as me doesn ’ t mean you can ’ t rock a blush from Fashion Fair ,” she explains . “ We must make room [ for these brands ].” Well , the Internet is paying attention . Search for the videos on YouTube and you ’ ll find women of all skin tones playing with brands like Iman and Black Opal . My personal obsession : Black Up Mono Eyeshadow in OAP 11M ($ 20 , sephora . com ), an electric blue I wear as eyeliner . — K . E .

Nails

When I saw these blinged-out nails at Balenciaga , I knew I had to give them a shot . The artist responsible for them : Mei Kawajiri , who sources her gems from craft stores like Michaels . To do it : Apply your polish , then place your stone using nail glue for bigger gems or a drop of topcoat for smaller ones ; let dry . Then , more topcoat . And voilà ! You have full-on nail jewelry . — E . R .
THE CLASSIC BOB Choose a blunt cut and bangs for a sophisticated vibe .
THE WAVY LAYERS Textured bends and pretty grown-out highlights look soft around the face .
THE SLEEK BOWL The key to bowl-cut success : high shine and polished , curled-under ends .
