Beyoncé Gets Bleached; Gwyenth Talks Fragrance Fascination; And More…
Gwyneth Paltrow may be the face of Hugo Boss Nuit Pour Femme, but she’s not a one flacon kind of gal when it comes to fragrance. “I believe in a wardrobe of perfumes,” explains Paltrow. “I probably have around 50 at home, some I just like for the bottle, some I wear all the time; but whatever I choose, it has to make me feel feminine.” [Telegraph]
Revealed: Helen Mirren’s much-discussed BAFTA pink hair was inspired by reality TV! “I’d been watching America’s Top Model, which I’m obsessed by, and this girl had her pink hair and I noticed because it came out really quickly. So there she is with really pink hair, and then five days later it’s all gone. So I thought that would be cool, I might have a go at that.” [VF]
Ms. Mirren isn’t the only one experimenting with hair color these days. A frequently flaxen Beyoncé has gone platinum in a new string of promos for her upcoming Mrs. Carter tour. Like most things involving the international pop superstar, it suits her. [Daily Mail]
Beauty Rewind: The Golden Globes Hall Of Fame
As we count down to the Golden Globes—a ceremony that, in all of its booze-fueled glory, kick-starts awards season—many have begun to formulate their own predictions for who will occupy the winner’s circle in both the acting and the just as highly contested style categories. Before we look forward, however, we thought it would be far more informative to peer back at a dozen of this year’s female nominees to decide which of their former Golden Globes cameos is the most memorable. And so, without further ado, allow us to present the Golden Globes Beauty Hall of Fame, which will be welcoming a new class this Sunday. Click here for a slideshow.
Kate Winslet Will “Never Give In” To Cosmetic Surgery; And More…
Ricky’s NYC is about to become Ricky’s U.S.A. The Manhattan mainstay for everything from wigs and fishnets to all-natural skincare and niche hair and makeup brands is embarking on a nationwide expansion. [WWD]
After the success of Les Khakis de Chanel, Peter Philips’ limited-edition nail trio for Fashion’s Night Out 2010, it should come as no surprise that the makeup maestro has stayed the polish course for 2011 with Les Jeans de Chanel, a new denim-inspired lacquer range due out September 8. [Racked]
Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Thompson have formed what they’re calling the “British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League.” It’s not an actual organization, per se, just a way to create a discourse around the subject of ageism. “I will never give in,” Winslet says about going under the knife. [Us]
Fellow Brit screen star Helen Mirren could very well become the newest member of Winslet’s crew. The 66-year-old has come out against plastic surgery in “young people.” “The purity of youthful beauty is so fantastic to me that it’s horrific when young girls get fake things,” Mirren says. [Radar]
Katy Goes Pink; Helen Mirren Is “Body of the Year”; And More…
Having kept the blogosphere busy by going from black to ginger to blond over the past few months, Katy Perry is making headlines yet again, turning her flaxen locks bright pink. [People]
Nicole Kidman has also been experimenting with the peroxide bottle, turning her recently red hair platinum for her new movie The Paper Boy. [Just Jared]
Cindy Crawford did it with Meaningful Beauty, and now Christie Brinkley is looking to get in on the skincare game with her own range of antiaging products. “I’ve had many years in the industry and I’ve worked with all the top makeup artists, so I’ll be using tips I’ve learned along the way,” the supermodel says of the 100 percent natural, vegan line. [Independent]
Great skin aside, it wasn’t a super—new or old—that nabbed L.A. Fitness’ “Body of the Year” award. Who did win the coveted title, you ask? Dame Helen Mirren—the talented actress who still can rock a bikini well into her sixties. [Daily Mail]
R.I.P. The “Pob”; Dove’s “Real” Beauty, Still Flawless; And More…
Tiring of the “Pob,” Victoria Beckham has traded in her angular short hair cut for long extensions. [People StyleWatch]
Jessica Simpson hasn’t changed her hair, but she has changed her diet. The Price of Beauty star, who last week used her Twitter account to refute plastic surgery rumors, took to cyberspace again last night to let her fans know that she’d “shocked [her] system with a vegan diet.” Just so everyone’s clear, the new regimen has nothing to do with weight loss and everything to do with “understanding [her] body through hydration and alkalinity.” And so another accusatory Twitter thread has been pre-empted. [Us Weekly]
Helen Mirren isn’t a vegan, but her body looks bangin’ nonetheless. Her secret? Sucking in her stomach for pictures and a low-key workout schedule. “I’m unbelievably lazy,” the Elizabeth star claims. Hopefully, inactivity will allow us, too, to look that good in a bikini at age 64. [WWD]
Until then, our nonexistent fitness regimen could earn us a spot in Dove’s next “Real Beauty” campaign. In an ad posted on Craigslist over the weekend, the beauty brand put out a casting call for “real women only,” so no actresses or models allowed. They only want you to be so real, though. The post also specified that you must be “naturally fit,” “not too curvy,” and “not too athletic.” And “beautiful hair and skin are a must.” Interested applicants should also consider, say, acting or modeling.
