How Stars Look Great at the Oscars
Essence Magazine Expert on Celeb’s Secrets to Stepping Out in Perfect Style on the Red Carpet, and Trends She Expects to See.
Walking the red carpet? No Problem! Pamela Edwards Christiani, of Essence Magazine, shares a few products to make what can be a nerve-racking red carpet experience at the Oscars a walk in the park.
Walking down the red carpet on Oscar night can be nerve-wracking, even for Hollywood “A”-listers who’ve done it many times before.
What’s a star to do?
Pamela Edwards Christiani, beauty editor of Essence magazine, says it’s all about keeping your look together. On “The Early Show” she showed how the celebrities get through the stressful night — with a little help.
What about those long days on Oscar weekend – how does a star stay fresh?
Christiani said celebs are turning to Neuro Drinks, a new beverage that contains natural, exotic tropical flavors and essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and botanicals that are supposed to enhance and support a demanding round-the-clock lifestyle. The line features seven blends: NeuroGasm, NeuroSonic, NeuroBliss, NeuroSport, NeuroTrim, NeuroSleep and NeuroAqua, all individually crafted to provide beneficial elements that supposedly help you stay well. Christiani added Neuro Drinks will also be served at Elton John’s Oscar party this year.
As for keeping your look polished on the red carpet, Christiani recommends Hourglass cosmetics, a popular brand with celebrities. On the broadcast, Christiani featured the Prodigy lipgloss, a high shine sheer lip gloss featured in a sleek package that’s contoured to fit into the palm of the hand or discretely slipped into a pocket or clutch. The lipgloss is enriched with vitamin E and features water-resistant color.
Christiani said Oscar night jewelry is “really taking an interesting turn.”
She said, “Although we see the million dollar jewels on the carpet and are impressed with the baubles, there is a new trend that we see with a lot of celebrities wearing: costume jewelry, which is just as beautiful as the real stuff.”
The Lia Sophia jewelry line, Christiani said, has a following online. The brand, she said, has created a special collection called the Red Carpet Collection that is purely for their celebrity clientele, which is pricier and a bit edgier than normal.
