If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, as the old saying goes. That seemed to be the underlying philosophy at Frida Giannini’s Gucci presentation this morning.

More news on the Evan Rachel Wood-for-Gucci front. Not only will the actress front the print campaign for the Italian brand’s forthcoming women’s fragrance, Guilty, but she’s also starring in a film directed by Sin City’s Frank Miller to promote the new scent.

It’s been a busy month here on the blog. With a whole new crop of A-listers signing beauty contracts, pop stars dyeing and straightening their hair, and one very prominent face painter dabbling in fashion to write about, we barely had time to do our own makeup.

Gucci is upping its celebrity spokesperson roster, selecting Evan Rachel Wood as the new face of its forthcoming fragrance.

Dimension-transporting glasses are included with purchase, which presumably make model Julia Hafstrom leap from the page in a series of Marios Schwab designs.
