John Legend Is Taking Time to Reflect on His Favorite Sperry Footwear
John Legend and his bulldog, Paul, make staying home look so good
Winter is coming and holiday is coming. It is the best timing to look for holiday gifts for your family, as well as for yourself. If you are struggling about men’s gifts, I would love to introduce the Sperry Legend Edit, a selection of John Legend’s favorite Sperry boat shoes, sneakers, and loafers. A good man always needs good shoes.
“I chose the shoes I really loved, that I would put in my wardrobe.” – John Legend.
John Legend, multi-platinum artist and Sperry’s 2020 Global Brand Ambassador, shares his fall closet
must-haves—from classic styles to just-in silhouettes. Check out The Legend Edit to see what John Legend
is wearing this season. Classic boat shoes. Road trip-ready driving mocs. Sporty-meets-stylish sneakers. It’s hard to promise you Legend-level singing skills. But his confident, cool style? It’s yours all season long.
I’D WEAR THIS ON VIRTUALLY ANY OCCASION. NO BOAT REQUIRED.- John Legend.

Hair How-To: Chrissy Teigen’s Golden Globes Look
John Legend may have won the Golden Globe last night for Best Original Song but it’s Chrissy Teigen who stole the Red Carpet spotlight with her blush pink sheath gown and super chic, tousled pony.
Celebrity Hairstylist and International Creative Director for Macadamia Professional, Giannandrea (pictured above with the happy couple), was inspired to create an effortless style that pulled her hair up and away from the face and neck, allowing the detailed dress to really shine. It was a modern, elegant take on the playful pony, which perfectly accented the rest of her look.
See the step-by-step “how to” with product recommendations below:
Step 1: Apply Macadamia Professional Foaming Volumizer on wet hair before blow drying the whole head with a large round brush, to create ample volume at the roots and length
Step 2: Use a 1-inch curling iron and curl the whole head in waves
Step 3: Once the hair was set in waves, use a generous dollop of Macadamia Professional Whipped Detailing Cream and run hands throughout the hair, using fingers to create supple separation and texture all the way through the ends
Step 4: Gather hair into a high pony tail, slightly below the crown. Tie the pony into an elastic band and take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic band covering it. Keep the pony playful by using your fingers to open it up and make it wide, textured and volumized
Step 5: Make sure it’s not too tight around the face by creating volume at the front with separation. Leave some flyaways on the sides for an effortless look
Step 6: Spray in place with Macadamia Control Working Spray to protect against humidity and set for a night out
