Remaking one beautiful star in the image of another is a popular concept right now. Most of you have probably seen Jennifer Aniston as Barbara Streisand for US Harper's Bazaar. The image above is the subscriber cover. It's surprising how modern the cat eye and polished hairdo look, while still completely evoking the retro diva.
But have you seen Heidi Klum as Marlene Dietrich on the cover of CITY? The model told Page Six, "We had to completely hide my eyebrows and remake them to look like Marlene Dietrich! I give credit to my hair and makeup team on this one."
Anne Hathaway is the latest leading lady to cut her hair this summer. Set photos from "One Day In Paris" reveal that Hathaway's sporting a pretty short do for the film, as well as a really cute girly wardrobe. The movie is directed by Lone Scherfig who also directed "An Education," which featured Carey Mulligan with a cropped cut. I really liked his directing style in the previous film, so let's hope the similarities don't end with the stars' hair!
I'm a big fan of Kelly Osbourne's hair and makeup style. She may not get it right every time, but she's willing to experiment, and has a really playful take on beauty. I LOVE that she's not just a cardboard cutout Hollywood blonde (pretty, but boring), and though she may have piggybacked off her parents to get fame, has stayed in the limelight because she's so likeable-without resorting to Hilton style sex tape shenanigans. This gallery celebrates some of her best and worst moments inb beauty, taking you from her sulky TV show phase up to the stylish yound lady she has turned into today.
Say what you will about Kelly Osbounre, but the girl isn't afraid to experiment with colour and style. Not for her the bland blonde locks of Hollywood, with never a hair out of place- she likes to play with colour and cuts and I applaud her. This doesn't mean I always think she makes the right choices however, and I'm rather torn about whether this volumized hairdo does her any favours. I feel it's a little bit ageing for her face and the greyish blonde isn't the prettiest. What do you think- let me know!
Wild child Taylor Momsen (better known as Jenny from Gossip Girl) was proudly belting her heart out a V Festival this weekend. The 17 year old is the lead singer for The Pretty Reckless, a band which specializes in old fashioned rock and roll, with a deep beat and raspy vocals. Taylor went on stage in a suspenders and short top combo, and we were loving her usual smoky eye. It may be slightly OTT, but hey, she is 17, and at that age you can get away with pretty much anything. It has been a while since we've seen her au naturel, but considering she pulls it off so well, we're OK with that. Check out the latest single from her band after the jump.
Where GaGa goes others will follow and her latest video has health experts worried. Not because of the amount of peroxide she wears, or her scantily clad poses, but her oversized cartoon like pupils that give her a strangely Manga innocent air. Her eyes were digitally enhanced but there is a growing trend for specially created contact lenses designed to give the eye the same effect. Called Circle lenses they work by covering not just the pupil but part of the white of the eye.
Circle lenses have already achieved popularity in Japan and Korea where women try to look like anime charcaters, but there are fears this trend wil now get widespread appeal. Why is it so bad?
For a brand whose ambassadors include the most famous woman in the world - Julia Roberts - it's kind of surprising that Lancome has chosen Julia Restoin-Roitfeld to front their spring Ultra Lavande collection. Restoin-Roitfeld may be the daughter of one of the most famous women in fashion, but even the French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld wouldn't have the same beauty counter recognition for the masses as most of Lancome's models. Which shows that Lancome must be trying to go a different direction here and appeal directly to the fashion crowd. This strategy would also explain their increased presence at fashion week for Fall 2010 which they are continuing at the upcoming Spring 2011 shows.
Lancome will once again provide beauty for Victoria Beckham and this season they'll also do L'Wren Scott.
