Tie Up Top

June Ambrose in one of her line's turbans.

Solange, Estelle and Chrisette Michele all recently wore turban inspired head wraps to red carpet events.

So how many of you have tried wearing a turban-inspired head wrap? I'm not talking about the time you made a quick run to the grocery store and your hair was deep conditioning under there. I mean to an event where you had to dress up. It takes confidence to pull off but the celebrities above have mastered the look. If you're convinced and think you have the courage, check out Jun Ambrose's new line of turbans. Once you have your fabric in tow visit YouTube for countless tutorials on how to wrap it in style.

Update: Beyonce is also wearing a wrap in the promo photo of her new single over on iTunes.

Chrisette Michele performing at her album listening party this summer just gone.

Green has never been my color. It just never enticed me in any way, shape or form. Lately however, I’ve spotted some of our favorite red carpet starlets light up the venue in unapologetically green frocks. Take one stunning dress in an emerald green hue and viola!, instance chic is born. Together the ladies have convinced me that my next cocktail dress will be satin, green and oh so sexy. If you need more convincing also check out Rihanna’s green dress at this years Grammy’s.

Chrisette Michele
