jessica alba hairstyles long

 

Jessica Alba is a beautiful California born American actress. Alba was voted at #1 on the list of “99 Most Desirable Women in the World” in the year 2006 on the website AskMen.com. She has also been ranked among the top celebrities on Maxim 'Hot 100' list couple of times. Jessica Alba is the role model and fashion idol of teens and young girls.

 

Jessica Alba' haircut style evolution began with her role in the 2000-2002 television series 'Dark Angel'. Her hairstyles have been through lots of changes in the last five years. Jessica Alba looks drop-dead sexy wearing a wavy long hairstyle with flowing locks. At Teen Choice Awards, Jessica Alba was looking outrageously sexy wearing a wavy long haircut style with beautiful layers and killer highlights. Alba had stunned the spectators of Saturn Award function when she appeared with a classic wavy medium long haircut style with golden highlights.

 

 

 

When it comes to trying out a new hairstyle, Jessica Alba is never one to shy away from a fashion statement. As we see here in these pictures of Jessica Alba with her beautiful long blonde flowing hair. Jessica Alba can definitely pull off the blonde hairstyle for 2010, but i think she looks considerably more sexy with her natural dark hair color.

Who is Rory Torrens?

 Photographer Ian Cole

Well he’s an Elite London Boy of course and by the looks of things Rory Torrens is on the way up, gracing the cover of Carbon Copy’s Winter 2010 issue with a captivating accompanying editorial in case that wasn’t quite enough. Rory is no stranger to the cover club as a previous Chaos Magazine cover boy as well as Pixie Lott’s leading man in her ‘Can’t make this over’ video...currently in Milan for fashion week looks like we will be adding catwalk star to this already impressive modelling CV!

It's all about the Boys...

Now Elite is up and running with (in our opinion) the strongest men’s board around, January is no longer a lull in the fashion calendar as now we have Mens fashion week to perk up our new year! Elite London boys have hit Paris on the first stop on the fashion week trail and we can safely say they mean business! Keep posted for catwalk updates and in the mean time cast your eyes over our ones to watch for the weeks ahead...
