Diana Ross oozed glamour at the
33rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors on Saturday in Washington, D.C.
The 66-year-old Motown superstar and 2007 Kennedy Center Honoree hit the red carpet in true diva style -- with her signature big hair in tow.
Ross rocked out her
curls in a long, loose fashion. And her
voluminous locks set the stage for
bold lipstick, statement earrings, a shimmering silver dress, and
full fur coat.
Seems Ross' motto has always been "
I'm Coming Out," so why stop now, right?
With President Obama,
First Lady Michelle Obama and a schlew of other Hollywood A-listers including
Julia Roberts,
John Travolta,
Gwen Stefani and Steven Tyler, Ross was present to salute this year's entertainment honorees
Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, country singer Merle Haggard, composer Jerry Herman and dancer Bill T. Jones.
The Kennedy Center Honors will air December 28 on
CBS.
Check out all the
glamorous looks from the Kennedy Center Honors gala.

Hair Basics: Highly Textured Hair
It's the hair everyone wants (voluminous curls) but the one that those who have it, hate (or slightly dislike at times). Between frizz, dryness and lack of shine, it can be difficult to maintain. Here, star stylist Ted Gibson offers tips on how to easily style (and tame) that misbehaving mane.
Hair Basics: Highly Textured Hair
Highly textured hair has a tendency to be dry, which makes it appear dull. To add moisture and shine, Gibson says to mix one part gel with one part shine lotion and apply it all over the hair. Allow the hair to air dry or use a diffuser to keep curls under control.
TIP: Never use a standard blow dryer on highly textured hair (unless you are straightening it). The uncontrolled airflow will cause curls to frizz and loose their shape. The diffuser attachment distributes heat gently and evenly over the hair, keeping curls under control.

To define and separate the curl even more, Gibson likes to use a small barrel curling iron. Working in sections, open the barrel of the iron and wrap the hair around it, leaving the ends of the hair out. Leaving the ends straight, says Gibson, "Creates a more natural looking curl." After curling, gently pull each individual curl apart for added softness.
PRO TIP: Always make sure the hair is 100-percent dry before using heating tools; otherwise they can dry and scorch the hair.
Hair Basics: Highly Textured Hair
Spray the hair with a lightweight, flexible hold hairspray to finish. This keeps flyaways under control and adds a final touch of shine.
PRO TIP: The more you touch textured hair the more it frizzes. Once styled, do your best to keep your hands off your hair.
