Asymmetrical Hairstyles

Thanks to her longtime hairstylist, Oscar Blandi, she got the glamour of wearing her hair down without the stickiness of hair falling on the back of her neck in hot, hot, hot summer weather. INSIDER TRICK: To create balance, Blandi created a side part and gathered Ripa's hair into a ponytail on the opposite side of the head. "We were trying to create a very romantic look with her hair down, so I let let her soft waves fall over one shoulder," says Blandi.-Polly BlitzerCheck out In Style contributing editor Polly's Web site, beautyblitz.com
