The BET Awards 2013 held this Sunday was much more than a captivating show designed to celebrate the hard work of some of the moment's most influential celebs. It also brought some thought provoking choices in the style department. 

While the BET Awards 2013 red carpet dresses proved both hits and misses, the celebrity hairstyles are much more balanced and thus a whole lot classier. Picking the best BET Awards celebrity hairstyles proved a difficult task but here are our top picks:

2013 BET Awards Hairstyles: Loose Curls

Loose curls are a fab classy and mostly fool-proof choice, so no wonder the red carpet was filled with such choices. 

While Kat Graham's outfit might have received mixed reviews, her spectacular curls were definitely a flattering choice. Glee actress Naya Rivera also opted for sophisticated loose curls that perfectly complemented her sparkly dress. Ciara's new bob hairstyle, styled with loose curls also received a lot of attention. Michelle Williams went for well defined curls to complete her sexy look for the night. Brandy and Tatiana Ali sported equally glamorous curls.

BET Awards 2013: Half Updos

Summery vibes dominated this BET Awards edition style wise. From short dresses to effortless hairstyles, simplicity with a fab twist seemed the rule of the day. Jordin Sparks opted for a youthful half updo with beachy waves. The same effortless allure yet with more glam twist proved great choice for reality star Omarosa Manigault.

2013 BET Awards Hair: Smooth and Sleek

Simple yet chic, straight tresses proved a fab choice for many A-listers. Nicki Minaj is the perfect example. Her pin straight tresses might not have been the most memorable look she came up with but it perfectly matched her seductive black dress.

Gabby Douglas and Garbrielle Union also proved that the 'less is more' principle is sometimes the best choice as did Angela Simmons who kept her hair and makeup simple and let her intricate short dress steal the spotlight.

BET Awards 2013 Hairstyles: Edgy and Glam

All the focus on glam rock accents spotted both on the runways and at the 2013 MET Ball seems to have proven a great inspiration for some of the stars that attended the 2013 edition of the BET Awards. 'Deception' actress Meagan Good added volume to her boyish pixie cut adding an edgy flair to her otherwise feminine look, while Janelle Monae chose a glam pompadour hairstyle.

Jessica Simpson gave birth to a baby boy! The star welcomed her second child on Sunday June 30 at a Los Angeles hospital through a scheduled C-section. After her much publicized first pregnancy, the star tried to lay low and even be fairly secretive about the pregnancy, but that didn't work out too well. After much speculation the star confirmed her pregnancy via Twitter during a Christmas vacation through a very simple message: a sweet photo of her daughter Maxwell Drew with the caption “BIG SIS”.

Though she initially planned on keeping her second child's gender a secret, that plan hilariously fell apart when she got invited to the Jimmy Kimmel Live show in March and stated: "The crazy thing is I never knew a wiener could make me nauseous. Well, I guess I just told the world that I'm having a boy!".

Later on, at her Tom Sawyer-themed baby shower, in April, the star expressed her excitement: “I’m so excited to have a son. I didn’t grow up with a brother and I think the unknown is really exciting. I can’t wait to have that connection with our little man.”

Now that the news that Jessica Simpson welcomed a healthy baby boy is out in the open, one question is inevitably arises: what's his name? Fortunately, the couple decided to abandon the secretive policy. Jessica Simpson's baby boy name is Ace Knute (pronounced Ka-nute), a rep told US magazine: "Ace Knute (pronounced Ka-nute) Johnson has arrived! Mom and baby are doing great. Jessica, Eric and Maxwell are thrilled to welcome the new addition to their family." The baby's middle name honors Eric Johnson’s Swedish grandfather, the rep added.

Now that Ace Knute Johnson was born, a couple of questions are on the minds of the star's fans. When will she present her baby boy? Will she do it on the cover of a magazine or on her personal social media account like new parents Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan? Will she get married after a few months as she confessed she hopes to do? How long will it take her to get rid of baby weight and what weight loss plan will she choose this time? Well, only time will answer all these questions.

The Elizabeth and James fall 2013 handbag collection is the first line of handbags from the label. It seems that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are becoming increasingly confident of their designing skills and starting to develop more and more projects. Last year's CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award definitely served them well. For the first Elizabeth & James bag collection for fall 2013, the duo took inspiration from their higher price line, The Row.

After taking a peek at The Row fall 2013 handbag collection, it was extremely obvious that this was definitely not a bad thing. After all, who doesn't love a streamlined design approach with fab minimalistic accents? Still, even though the new Elizabeth & James handbags for fall 2013 have modern vibes and a timeless allure for the most part, it doesn't mean that trendy accents are neglected. Though relatively understated, the label brought some cute styles that will definitely make fashionistas want to indulge in.

Among the trendiest offerings from the Elizabeth & James fall 2013 bag line we can find the sling styles, which are an interesting twist on the backpack trend. If you thought that rocking a backpack the grown-up way is a bit of a challenge, these cute styles might make you reconsider that theory. Not just the handbag style is a trendy choice but also the fabric. Hair cow or pony hair accents will be a huge hit in the upcoming season and, taking a look at the new options, it's fairly easy to understated why.

On the other hand, for animal print lovers, leopard prints are a timeless classic. Other than a few colorful accents, like the electric blue leather cross body bag or the carmine leather shopper bag, the color palette stays on the uber versatile side. The metallic hardware accents are fairly discreet and have luxurious looking yellow, rose gold and gunmetal finishes.These gorgeous leather and suede Elizabeth & James handbags have prices between $395 to $625 and are already available for pre-order at NeimanMarcus.com and will be available starting with mid July in Neiman Marcus, Saks and Nordstrom stores.  Have a look at the entire Elizabeth and James collection!

The new Ke$ha Rose jewelry line for Charles Albert is definitely one of the most unpredictable lines you'll see this season. Why? First of all, the star's style tends to be on the edgy side being surprisingly eclectic and thus, it was impossible to predict what turn the line would take based on the promo pics that were available. But, we have to admit, Ke$ha's collaboration with Charles Albert turned out much better than most people would have expected.

She chose to work with the label since it's a long time favorite of hers:

“I have been wearing Charles Albert for a few years now and I'm obsessed with their jewelry. It's so fun, and massive, and makes such a wild statement."

Ke$ha's excitement with the label increased even more when the project started developing: 

“I didn't know Charles himself until we started working together, but once we did I realized how amazing this partnership would be because of how similar our vision and aesthetic are. The design process was so fun. Charles and Beth and their whole team are so collaborative and always a good time to work with. Going to their office was like a crazy playground for me – so many fun stones and colors and weird objects. We just sat around and played with all of it for a few days and ended up with a sick collection of pieces in the end. I could not be more excited”.

The Ke$ha Charles Albert jewelry line is set to be launched this August and brings a multitude of whimsical pieces that will never fail to attract attention. The choices range from edgy to romantic with many interesting variations in between. A great example is the Red Rose & Obsidian Skull necklace or the Red Rose, Skull & Obsidian Arrowhead earrings that can instantly add a fun flair to any casual outfit.

Obvious rock culture influences aside, it seems that nature provided substantial creative insights. Pieces with motifs such as fossil shark tooth, ammonites, lightning bolts definitely prove it.

The Kesha Rose by Charles Albert jewelry line will feature options under $100 for the most part, but more expensive pieces will also be included. If the most affordable piece of the collection will retail for $30, pricier options will reach the $750 mark.

Impressed by the new offerings? Then be sure to look for the Ke$ha Rose by Charles Albert line in stores and online at kesharose.com.

The Elizabeth Arden Untold fragrance, set to be launched later this year, is an extremely important one in the history of the label. 

The last time the Elizabeth Arden label launched a pillar fragrance was nearly 20 years ago, so naturally the new project raises high expectations. To regain its former glory, the label is targeting a younger demographic.

E. Scott Beattie, president, chief executive officer and chairman of Elizabeth Arden certainly feels that the new Untold by Elizabeth Arden perfume will do well because of it and told WWD.com that: 

“This is a modern interpretation of a woman, which will bring younger consumers to the franchise. We believe this will be a gateway for those consumers to show the brand is relevant to them. And we believe the concept — which is downtown New York cool — is universal enough that it will play well globally.”

Developed by perfumer Clément Gavarry of International Flavors & Fragrances, the Elizabeth Arden Untold fragrance is “very sophisticated, but it has freshness and sparkle” and it's defined by notes of pink pepper, bergamot, pear, blackcurrant, gardenia, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood, amber and musk. If it sounds like a complex blend, it's because the new scent is designed to have international appeal and aims to “represent all of the facets of women.” These facets are: vibrant, unpredictable, refined, mysterious and sensual.

Though the new Untold by Elizabeth Arden fragrance is already being pre-sold online and will hit the counters as early as mid July in some places, on a global level the distribution is expected to be finalized by September.

The Untold fragrance comes in three versions: 1 oz. for $49, 1.7 oz. for $59 and 3.3 oz for $79. Additional products that will be sold are a 6.8-oz. body cream, $45, and a 6.8-oz. shower gel, $38. In the US, approximately 2,500 departments and specialty stores will carry the scent. The ad campaign for the new Elizabeth Arden perfume is scheduled to be released in September as well.

After hearing the news that Nicole Kidman is the new face of Jimmy Choo in May, it was fairly clear that the new campaign would be an interesting one. Fortunately for fashion enthusiasts, the label decided not leave fans waiting for too long. The new Jimmy Choo fall 2013 ad campaign definitely doesn't disappoint being edgy yet incredibly refined at the same time. The Hollywood leading lady is a heroine inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's movies and brings an easily distinguishable 'femme fatale' allure in each of the new Jimmy Choo fall 2013 ads.

Photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by Julia Von Boehm, the 46-year-old Australian star felt extremely comfortable displaying the seductive protagonist from Hitchcock's movies: 

"I really enjoyed being able to play a role that was strong, sexy and in control. I got into a relationship with the photographer and Mikael is very intuitive, he knows what I am thinking and feeling and is able to translate it through the camera,” Kidman said about the shoot. Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi couldn't be happier about the way the new Jimmy Choo campaign turned out: “Nicole has perfectly captured the mood of our AW13 collection; her character portrays the multi-faceted qualities of the Jimmy Choo woman for this season – strong, sexy with a beguiling sense of mystery.”

She is able to seamlessly go from working a couture gown on the red carpet to an ultra-sophisticated day dress to off duty jeans and biker boots whilst looking effortless. She knows her own style and remains confident at all times so her personality comes through.”
