It’s good to be a celebrity around award season because of the awesome and amazing gifting lounges where they can pick up all sorts of awesome fashion, beauty and other shwag. And get beautiful for all the events happening. This weekend I popped into a few lounges, along with some celebrities. Here’s your behind-the-scenes look at how the stars get ready for the Golden Globes.
Ashley Greene picks up some goodies.
The Kari Feinstein suite
Who: Molly Sims (tall and lovely), Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth (getting bombarded by young gals with questions), Felicity Huffman, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Bella’s dad Billly, Kristen Bell, Ali Landry, Vanessa Minnillo and Paris Hilton.
What: Cor Skincare, Jessica Hicks jewelry (Felicity Huffman picked up some stone earrings), Moni Moni handbags (Kristen Bell loved the messenger style), Tacori jewelry, Nail Garden salon, Reebok Easy Tone shoes, Dr. Rey Shapewear (this stuff is amazing – Cameron Diaz wears it all the time), Foot Petals (these will change your life) and Retro Sport apparel (Molly Sims perused vintage sweatshirts to take home).
Beauty Highlight: Having an Infinity Sun spray tan — the tan looks so natural. Believe me, the spray tan is not just for California pageant queens! Infinity even has at-home machines!
Where: at Zune in West Hollywood
The HBO Lounge
Who: I spotted beauty Bridget Moynahan with pal Jane Krakowski checking out the suite; I had my hair done next to the Today Show’s Natalie Morales; Gilles Marini brought his darling daughter into the beauty suite and let her get a manicure.
What: For me, it was all about the beauty lounge, where men could get a shave, and women were treated to manicures, makeup applications and hairstyling. Also, all nominees received a GORGEOUS jewel-encrusted compact that also commemorated L’Oreal receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Beauty Highlight: It was all about L’Oreal. The head hair stylist, Johnny Lavoy, turned my hair from daytime straight to red carpet ooh-la-la ‘do for my gala that night. Johnny’s a hair genius, having worked with tons of models and celebrities and he used plenty of Elnett hairspray to keep my look intact. To get the look, he curled the entire head of hair with a medium-barrel curling iron, then pulled it all to one side and secured it half-up with bobby pins. To preserve the style, he suggested I use dry shampoo and pile the hair into a bun on top of my head to sleep. Days later, I’m still wearing the style! (But it’s a bit more tame/everyday wavy now.)
Where: at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills
My "before" hair
My "after" hair
The InStyle Lounge
L'Oreal Compact for Globe Nominees
Who: Cheryl Hines, young starlets from TV and movies
What: It’s a hard life…sipping champagne, perusing the latest InStyle with Heidi Klum on the cover, noshing on cheese, cupcakes and SmartWater.
Beauty Highlight: Again, L’Oreal stylists did hair and makeup. Brow guru Damone Roberts did brows; guests had manicures by OPI.

Sounds so fun!! Ashley Greene is adorable. Not so sure about your after-hair, but perhaps its just not a great photo? Other pics of you on this site have been cuter. Why would Cameron Diaz need shape wear???
I know — the shapewear just smooths things out a bit and most of us can use that. I agree with you — the after hair is a bit debutante ball-y for me…I combed it down a bit for my event.
You look SO gorgeous. You’re legit. Where did Ashley (your celeb crush even if you dont know it yet) get that faboo pink dress?
I would have done that for you Meg. If you wheren’t happy you should have told me. But you said you liked it. You should never leave the stylist chair unhappy. Hope you have fun at your event
