Drew Barrymore Wedding Day Hair Possibilities

Photo by David Shankbone

Red hot lips and hair.

Gertie's all grown up. "E.T." child star Drew Barrymore becomes a wife this weekend as she also embraces impending motherhood. The preggers bride-to-be... (sing along)... is going to the chapel, and she's gonna get married to art consultant Will Kopelman on Saturday. It's his first time down the aisle, while this will be No. 3 for her (third time's a charm!).


The wedding won't actually take place inside a chapel. Instead, this Tinseltown twosome plans to exchange vows at Barrymore's mansion in Montecito, California. And it's no surprise the couple has chosen to wear Chanel on the big day, as the groom is the son of Arie Kopelman--the high-fashion house's former CEO. 


What will Barrymore's bridal hair look like? Her hairstylist Byron Williams, co-owner of the Byron & Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills, California, hasn't dropped any hints. But given the fact that the actress' crowning glory constantly evolves from casual to classic to crimson, it's safe to say we can expect the unexpected.  

Check out these possible "I Do" 'dos.

The Power of Pomegranate Skin Care

Pomegranate seeds look like precious rubies. They possess a vibrant garnet color, glisten in the sunlight and, most of all, make us feel good. You could call them nature's bling bounty.

Known as the "jewel of winter," the pomegranate has served as a symbol of romance, longevity and fertility in some cultures. Today, the oil and extract from this succulent super fruit appear as key ingredients in many skincare formulations to minimize signs of aging and promote youthful radiance. Vitamins B and C, polyphenols and anthocyanins provide more antioxidants than red wine and green tea.

Discover the hidden treasures of this natural gem. The following formulations improve skin health by utilizing pomegranate as a prominent ingredient.
