One might not think of a blonde updo as Gothic but this model from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014 Venexiana Runway has the look for it.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014 - Venexiana - Runway

Hair is neatly slicked back away from the face. One big braid is wound around the head like a crown. This would be an interesting wedding hairstyle for someone not wearing a veil and wanting something uniform and sleek. This model's make-up is very dark and death-like and therefor not very romantic but perfect for a death metal concert.

Leonardo is looking rather grown up and distinguished here compared to his rather boyish looks of the past.

18th Annual Art Directors Guild Awards - Arrivals

He has the vintage 1940's thing going on with his slicked back style and black suit and tie. His side part is defined and a focal point of the style.

This photo comes from the 18th Annual Art Directors Guild Award.

It looks like Leonardo's next movie will be about the bombing at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park in 1996 and will be teaming up with Jonah Hill.

This is a nice soft looking style for a more mature woman that has fringy bangs and a short length.

Frances Fisher

Lots of layers give this bob the look of movement and it frames the face nicely. They also provide lift and bulk around the sides so the hair doesn't just fall flat against the head. Angling the shears vertically while cutting the bangs gives a textured and choppy look. She has no part for a boyish appeal. The shade of red is light and bright and perfect with her ice blue eyes. She has peach colored lipstick. Frances is a 61 year old English American actress known for movies such as Unforgiven.

The event is the 18th Annual Art Directors Guild Awards.

Here is a collection of pictures that have good examples of hair and fashion in and around Seattle:

sidewalk scene

Here we see colored jeans in shades of red and grey as well as cargo pants and others for men as well as a suit jacket and a loose sweater. These guys are sporting short hair.

shopping

Being downtown in the city these folks are shopping and carrying bags with their purchases. These ladies have long hair and one is keeping her head warm with an animal print knit hat. I see a pair of high heel black knee high boots with studs around the top worn with leggings. I see pink leggings with short furry boots as well.

Recycle, Starbucks, Dog Walking

This photo is so Seattle with a recycle bin, Starbucks in the background, and a dog on a leash. This gal is using her wide scarf as a head wrap and ear warmer. She has it tied at the back of her crown with an updo. She is carrying an over sized Coach bag.

street scene

Being a cold and sunny winter day we see a variety of fashion here. Everything from boots with leg warmers to Vans without socks. These two ladies have opted for ponytails and one has a cadet hat with her pony twirled up like a big loose disheveled knot. Backpacks are extremely common on the streets of Seattle. It's a great way to carry purchases or just your stuff. The weather changes constantly so it's good to be prepared with extra hats, gloves, scarves etc. And don't forget the snacks and drinks.

woman and bus

I love this picture with a woman standing and holding her coat rather than wearing it. There is a long shadow from the sun. The bus to Redmond is in the background.

city scene

We've got a guy here sporting trends from various eras. He's sporting an edgy pompadour which became popular in the 50's, big aviator sunglasses from the 80's as well as military style boots and leather jacket with colored skinny jeans that are tucked into his boots. His hairdo has quite the amount of height and a boxy look. For some styling help check out this post.

ladies and girl

These ladies have cropped hairstyles and we see the backside here which shows the layers. Jackets, jeans, and boots are their choices.

packwork backpack

This is really quite Seattle with a patchwork backpack that looks like it could have been made with recycled materials. It is quite colorful and full of personality. The over sized bomber jacket looks like a thrift shop find. There is some red curls showing under that knit beanie.

colorful mom

Here with have the woman who wins the most colorful mom award. She is wearing a fedora hat with violet purple hair, a black checked jacket, an orange skirt, and patterned cowboy boots. She has an over sized yellow bag. Her daughter has tights with hearts and red boots.

teen girls

And of course here we have a group of teen girls sporting knit hats, jeans, and boots and long hair.

So that wraps up our colorful journey around an urban area. These pictures show that anything goes in this diverse city. Come as you are and have fun.

 

Adam is sporting a slicked up pompadour at "Britney: Pieces of Me" Grand Opening at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas.

Adam Lambert

The sides are shaved close while the top is left longer and pushed up for height which is vintage 1950's hair fashion for men. Elvis Presley made it popular. Pomade helps to set the strands up in place and keep them there. He adds a bit of interest with an asymmetrical look as he has some tufts slicking up on one side. The bang area has a silvery sheen in the lights. His facial hair is cut close and adds character.

Word is that he may be re-joining the band Queen for a final tour. Adam was on American Idol Season 8 in 2009.
