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

17 Dramatic Hair Transformations

I’ m all for it— and you can do it with a wig. Of course the person who’ s been nailing it these days is Zendaya. Inspired by her varying looks, I’ m shopping the options at rickysnyc. com.— S. K.
THE CHIC MULLET A dramatic multilayered cut makes a stylish statement.

Beauty

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.
