The Braided Beauty, Selena Gomez

Wow! Selena Gomez was perfection at Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards, wearing a gold Julien MacDonald beaded minidress and a chunky French braid. We love Selena’s fashion sensibilities, of course, but the real show-stopper was her dramatic hairdo, courtesy of hairstylist Riawna Capri of West Hollywood’s Nine Zero One Salon, the über-chic salon that caters to the hippest in Hollywood.

And if you think this style looks spectacular from the front, just look at it from the back!

We are quite taken with this romance-meets-rocker hairstyle, which no doubt is a result of bunches of bobby pins and a headful of extensions…not that it makes it any less fabulous! Check out our tribute to the twisted trend of braids, here on Beauty Shall Save the World.
