Jennifer has a very common face shape that I call the "heraldic shield" - think of a family coat of arms. Her upper jaw juts out a little, causing her chin to look a bit pointy at times. Her previous hairdo (photo left) camouflaged this perfectly - and it was really flattering to her entire …

Katie, can't say enough how much I love your hair now that it's getting longer. It's absolutely perfect in the photo on the left. One thing to note is that you have cool skin and the orange sweater is warm. If you look closely, you'll see that with the orange, you get a circle of …

Katie, that's a great necklace on the right. One suggestion, choose a shell to wear under your suits that falls at least one inch lower - even two inches. If you look at the photo on the left, you'll see that your neck looks much wider on the right, and that's because there's nearly a …

Picture on the right: Katie, your hair is looking great! Love the silver earrings - and the massive silver chain necklace; it really makes the perfect statement for the Evening News and a woman of your stature. Picture on the left: Turtlenecks don't do you justice, Katie; they are too collegiate looking - especially when …

Image consultant's advice: Katie, please don't cut your hair again. I love the way this style (or even an inch or two longer like it was before) frames your face so nicely - and makes you look really pretty. That short hairdo didn't do you justice. Of the three photos, I like the one on …

Lady Gaga has transformed herself from a frumpy street urchin (left) to a high-fashion pinup. It’s acknowledged that she’s had a nose job (see before and after photos below), but it’s likely that she’s also had a little liposuction at the jawline. My favorite photo of her is the center photo, because she looks so …

A lot has been said about the image of Hillary Clinton, and there are some recommendations I’d make if I were to meet with her. Color makes the difference. Hillary is a Summer in terms of a color category, so she looks best in bright cool colors, often called jewel tones. She doesn’t look her …

Actress Susan Strasburg recounted that she and Marilyn Monroe were walking on a busy street one day and she remarked to Marilyn that she was surprised that no one had recognized her. “Oh, you mean her,” Marilyn responded. Then she changed her body language, facial expression and walk, and within seconds everyone was clamoring to …

Katie, red's a good color but color's only half the wardrobe battle. Line is at least as important. This ensemble boxes you in with the masculine lines of the jacket and the "stiff", all-buttoned-up lines of the blouse. Even the ruffle is squared off--a masculine look--rather than soft and curvy. The combination's also in clear …

Nice green as we enjoy the start of a new season, Katie. This color looks beautiful on you and the silver chain is a nice complement. I like the lines of this jacket, too; the collar frames your face nicely. As always, bolder earrings and lipstick would really pull your look together. Chunky jewelry really …
