    A darker shade of blonde and a nude lip make for a glam red carpet look.

  6. Gilded

    She opts for a soft look, complete with a ponytail and jeweled headband that pair seamlessly with her jacket.

  7. Morning Glory

    We love her bright pink lip color, flawlessly sculpted brows and razor sharp bob in this morning glam photo.

  8. Go Big

    She won her spin on “Lip Sync Battle” wearing a gravity-defying blonde wig, smoky eye, wine-colored lip and massive jewels.

  9. Keep It Simple

    Shortly after her second nose job, the actress went with a barely there look for a trip to Canada. We like her simple lashes and scrubbed lips.

  10. Windswept

    NeNe mixes things up with this shoulder-grazing tousled blonde bob, a strong brow and matte coral lipstick.

  11. Cup Of Sugar

    In this recent snap, Nene went with a full on Twiggy eye with stiletto lashes and a pale pink lip, calling herself “the girl next door.”
