GET THE LOOK: Meghan Fox at the Toronto Film Festival





Sure Megan Fox is one of those rare humans that don't really need a Glam Squad, but when she does get beautified for the red carpet, she looks flawless.





In an Armani Prive dress, Megan Fox turned heads on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival for the debut of her latest film “Passion Play.” In addition to that smoking white dress and her sexy red lip color, Fox wore a sultry waved hairstyle created by celebrity stylist Creighton Bowman.











Creighton dished to Glamazons Blog about how to get Meghan's sexy look. “We decided a soft, and effortlessly natural look was the way to go with her dress which was sexy and short, and I wanted to play up the beauty of her long, luxurious hair,” he said.





Here are Bowman's three easy steps to recreate the look:





-I started by applying Lisa Chiccine Thickening Volume Foam ($26, Lisa Chiccine) an alcohol-free styling mousse loaded with botanical extracts and certified organic ingredients, then towel-dried the hair from root to ends. I used it for this look because it’s really lightweight and gives a nice boost of natural-looking lift and volume.





-Next, I did a loose, natural-looking blow dry and sprayed a light mist of Lisa Chiccine Hold Weightless Satin Hairspray ($26, Lisa Chiccine) all over her hair. I used Hold because it’s fast drying, flexible and gives an anti-static hold. It’s great for long hair that needs to move.





-Finally, I sectioned the hair and made random waves with a medium curling iron. To finish, I used a drop of Lisa Chiccine Shine ($38, Lisa Chiccine), a great anti-frizz serum by Lisa Chiccine that doesn’t weight hair down. It also has sun filters to help prevent sun damage.





Fabulous! Now, we're set to look just like Megan Fox when we hit the town. Well, her hairstyle, I mean. The rest may or may not require plastic surgery, lol.

Call the Glambulance: Gabourey Sidibe's Hair on the Cover of ELLE Magazine

I am speechless as to why someone would throw a horrid wig on this poor talented girl. So unknowing, so innocent, Gabourey Sidibe was made to look a boiling mess on the cover of Elle Magazine's 25th Anniversary issue.





This wig looks like a brillo pad, like they literally mopped the floor and makeup counter with it then plopped it on our head.







Eek. As dry and rigid as the desert. Try running your fingers through it and I guarantee you'd come out with cuts on your hand.



She is a beautiful, young lady. This is offensive.



Somehow, they got it together for the other covers, featuring Amanda Seyfried, Meghan Fox and Lauren Conrad.  An apology is in order.







Don't you agree? (P.S. I've been on a million sets and at any given time, there are 15 people offering their opinion without being asked. There wasn't one person on set who spoke up about that billowing disaster on "Gabby's" head? Even when retouching, which they have an affinity for at Elle, they didn't notice how bad her hair looked? Confusing...)
