Monaco parties for World Music Awards

5 Nov

Monaco was the epicenter of celeb spottings this weekend as the tiny principality hosted their annual World Music Awards.

The two most legendary stars in attendance were Patti LaBelle and Celine Dion, who both took home top honors. Other performers who took the stage included Avril Lavigne, Akon, Rihanna, and Mika– who won 4 awards including Male Entertainer of the Year — though he was too sick to sing the most appropriate song of the evening, “Grace Kelly.”

Julian McMahon of Nip/Tuck was the host of the evening, although Prince Albert snapped out of his narcoleptic daze and spoke to the audience as well.

Stars were dancing til dawn at Jimmy’z, the notoriously swank nightclub where a flute of champagne on New Year’s Eve will set you back 120 euros!

Blonde like Brigitte

In a city where everyone has perfect hair– be it messy or dutifully coiffed– there’s no taking chances with your colorist, especially as a blonde. Walking out of a salon with a Kentucky Fried Coif is ample cause for a sabbatical in the wine region for a few months; drink it off and let it grow… (and pick up a hot sommelier while you’re at it).

Thankfully, there is a blonde-obsessed Parisian coiffeur who is doing a booming business for those of the blonde persuasion. His name is Franck Vidoff, and his salon is aptly named “Blonde.” The spot looks more like an art gallery or architectural office, with its white curtains and minimalist angles, but its understated exterior harbors some serious attention-grabbing blondes within. Franck takes care of many A-listers in Parisian society/fashion/music scene, including Eugenie Niarchos and Erin Fetherston. He caters to all shades, including as Franck describes: “sun-bleached blondes… honey blondes… Hollywood blondes, Warhol blondes…” – and uses techniques that nourish hair for a silky smooth finish.
