10 Questions With Celeb Stylist June Ambrose
June Ambrose, the legendary celeb stylist and star of VH1′s “Styled By June” (fab reality show where she makes over struggling celebs, including a catatonic Mischa Barton) is a monstaaah. She’s worked with every boldface name on the planet, from Zoe Saldana to Kelly Ripa, and now the 40-year-old mommy is dipping her electric cobalt-painted toes in the beauty world. She’s just been named a celebrity ambassador to Caress — a Caress Fabulista, to be specific — and is spreading the good word of fab bath and skin products to the world. Here, I caught up with the superstar stylist, who dished on everything from her signature red lipstick to blowing up Missy Elliot’s inflatable garbage bag suit in the “Rain” video. Diva.
