Celeb Style: What’s up with the spray on tans?
Photos: Splashnews/WENN
Some time ago I touched on the subject of Alicia Keys‘ severe acne problem. I suggested that she was getting expensive mustard facials to treat her chronic acne. The treatments – which are only available in select high-end salons – seemed to do the trick as AK’s pimples have cleared up considerably.
But lately, Alicia’s acne problem has been replaced by a sickly orange complexion that looks worse than her pimples ever did. Apparently, Alicia isn’t the only celebrity who has turned to the spray paint in a can look. Popbytes had this to say about fashion designer Valentino:
I’ve never understood how people can go out of the house looking like they were spray painted orange – for example legendary fashion designer valentino (who’s getting up there at age 75) he was spotted out last night in new york city going to dinner at the waverly inn looking way to orange for his own good (the color is uneven and doesn’t match his neck, ears, or hands) i know being pale isn’t always the best look but this is totally ridiculous – it looks like crap! i’ll go to the tanning salon occasionally but i’ve never done the spray tan nor do i have any plans to give it a try (i’d have to go into hiding if i looked orange like he does)… (Source)
Speaking of Ms. Keys, she’s looking for a background singer and I guess she can’t find one among the many background singers right there in New York. So she posted a bulletin on her Myspace with the requirements for the position.
To qualify, you must be a real female between the ages of 21 and 30 with some experience singing R&B. also, you need a valid passport to be able to travel with AK around the world on tour. If you fit the requirements, send a 30-second or more video of yourself singing a capella to Keys’ Myspace page by May 5. The winner will be chosen on May 15. Good luck!

That orange look is NOT THE BUSINESS!!! They need to actually sit down and look at photos of themselves.
Good Morning AUNTIE SANDRA you are up very early it is 523am over here!!!
Was this picture of Alicia taken the day she was on the Today Show? I was there and she didn’t look orange at all. She is very pretty!
This not cute
She looks like a damn umpa lumpa!
Alicia you are too cute for this madness…..
Lol @ “you must be a real female”
Valentino is Italian. They are suppose to look tan.
her complexion is fine…not sure why she would need a spray tan.
AK can look gange green for all I care I rather see that orange **** on her face then those damn chronic acne pimples, eeeegh I swear that **** gross!!!
Italians do not have to look tan! Sandra, I love to disagree with you, but this time you are right. They look RIDICULOUS!
I agree….The orange on A. Keys is definetly not a good look. I am more concerned with how she almost swallowed the mic. What’s up with the lipstick all over the mic??
I just want to know why somebody on her team did not tell her?
I hope she finds a background singer and I won’t even comment on “spray tanning in a can”!!!
Sandra why you didn’t post Tito Jackson?
That looks horrible. Don’t they look in the mirror after spraying. I wouldn’t leave the house looking like that.
Why??? She looks ridiculous
11extraordinary Says:
Sandra why you didn’t post Tito Jackson?
Doesn’t he look a mess. Not sure if he is ready for burial or the wax museum.
i’m really speechless. they look awful!!!
I think Alicia likes to look “darker” than she really is. Her real color is the color she is in the Fallin’ video.
ummm no comment on valentino…..i will respect my elders
and someone said Tito Jackson? please dont tell me he got a orange tan too? what the frick and frack? i want pics…or maybe i don’t
reminds me of the original oompa loompas..weren’t they orange too?
was alicia keys suckin on the microphone? she got lipstick all over the thing. wait alicia till u get home to get the real thing. LOL.
miguel i was thinkin the same thing!! hahaa!!
I love AK but not in this pic. Valentino no way baby try another color of spray.
Everybody trying to outdo themselves with these colors.
First you have black/white.
Then there’s the beige/yellow.
Then the dark olive?
Then:
Yellow
Redbone
Tan
Burple – black/purple
Blue/black – so black the whites of ya’ eyes turn brown
Then the ones who are:
Dipped in tar.
Not to be outdone by the man who drinks SILVER to turn himself BLUE
Then you have the actual BLUE MAN GROUP.
And now this – the ppl who want to be sunkist ORANGE, like they were born in a mexican orange grove under a California freeway, by way of New York.
Just make me invisible. LOL
And you aint gone tell me you aint NEVER seen a person that fits the description of any of the above mentioned colors.
I’ve seen every last one of’em. LOL
