We’re approaching the end of the first week of April, which means the bulk of our beauty conversation will turn to proper sun care starting…now. We posted our first sunscreen write-up of the season yesterday (much, much more on that in the coming weeks), and today we’ve decided to touch upon another sun-centric topic, self [...]

There is but one acronym to describe the news that a Gucci color cosmetics collection has been confirmed: O.M.G. [WWD]
Forget her Hollywood-royalty pedigree. Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed in the latest GOOP newsletter that some of her favorite beauty products are in fact from pharmacies—French ones (we didn’t really peg her for a Duane Reade regular). [...]

We’re just going to say it: The Golden Globes are hands-down the best awards show of the year. First off, they’re actually significant. Not like the People’s Choice Awards, or whatever awards shows MTV is conjuring up at the moment. And style-wise, they usually hit a, if not perfect, than certainly interesting pitch: more formal [...]

Mass beauty giant Proctor & Gamble is joining the green movement by introducing sustainable and recyclable plastic sourced from Brazilian sugarcane in its CoverGirl, Pantene, and Max Factor brands. It’s not zero parabens and preservatives, but every little bit counts. [WWD]
Rihanna has gotten over her ill-advised devotion to red hair dye and returned to her [...]

Amanda Seyfried has cut off her signature blond locks in favor of a short red crop with bangs! Just kidding. The flaxen-haired actress isn’t really a flame-haired vixen, she just plays one in a new action flick co-starring Justin Timberlake. [Daily Mail]

There was a lot to ogle at Elle magazine’s 17th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute in Beverly Hills last night, as the impressive turnout included cameos from Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Swank, and Kate Hudson and her mom, Goldie Hawn. But we were most transfixed by Diane Kruger, who accessorized her melon-colored Calvin Klein Collection halter [...]

Behold: the ad visual for Katy Perry’s first fragrance, Purr, due out this holiday season. That pink and purple leopard-print latex catsuit is somehow not surprising in the slightest. [WWD]
Clarins has named face painter Pati Dubroff, formerly of Dior fame, as its new celebrity beauty artist. You may also know Dubroff as Gwyneth’s go-to makeup [...]

Word around the blogosphere is that Natalie Portman’s first order of business as the face of Dior Beauty will be to star in the brand’s latest cinemercial, which will allegedly be shot by Sofia Coppola. For those of you who, like us, watched the director’s sweet, macaron-fueled Miss Dior Cherie short film on repeat when [...]

Leave it to Gwyneth Paltrow to bring the controversial vitamin D debate to public attention. After being diagnosed with low bone density, the actress now subscribes to the idea that concentrated sun exposure in moderation can actually be a good thing for boosting vitamin D levels. Using her widely popular Guinness-drinking-during-pregnancy technique as precedent, we’re [...]

We saw it at MaxMara for Spring, but we never really thought we’d witness the wet look on Gwyneth Paltrow, who sported the slicked-back style at the opening of Louis Vuitton’s new home on Bond Street in London last night. What’s particularly interesting about Gwyneth’s adaptation of the popular eighties coif is the texture and [...]
