Nicole Kidman’s Botox Ban; BB Cream For Your Hair?; And More…
“No surgery for me,” Nicole Kidman tells Italy’s La Repubblica about her stance on cosmetic enhancements. “I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again,” she alleges. (Camera pans on Kidman during the Golden Globes would suggest otherwise.) [Huff Po]
Drew Barrymore’s new makeup line for Walmart is meant to be an all-ages kind of party, but you’ve got to be at least 13 to indulge. “Kids shouldn’t wear makeup, I strongly feel that way,” Barrymore says. “You should be a kid for as long as possible. I think when you start getting in your teens, then all bets are off, and you should just play, play, play and figure out what kind of woman you want to be—the training wheels are off. So kids in makeup, no. Starting in your teen years, absolutely go for it, and start to discover who you are.” [Us]

The glossy got Kristen Stewart, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain, and Keira Knightley to go maquillage-free—and guess what?

It was revealed yesterday via an Instagram from Stefano Gabbana that Dolce & Gabbana is working on a fragrance for babies—a startling revelation that is made that much crazier put into the context of the growing baby-perfume industry.

Speaking of surprising new scent categories, Stella McCartney would like to bottle the olfactory qualities of a barnyard. The designer, who clearly loves the smell of lily of the valley, which is the top note of her L.I.L.Y scent and its new Absolute, lists her other favorite aromas as the scent of her children’s breath and horses. “My friend and I always joke that one day we’ll launch a horse fragrance—obviously, we’d be the only ones who would buy it,” says McCartney. We’re not so sure about that; brand loyalty can be a funny thing. [InStyle U.K.]

Nicole Kidman Gets Pinned
It’s day eight of the Cannes Film Festival and the celebrity sightings just keep flooding in. Today’s big news: Nicole Kidman is on the Riviera—and looking ravishing in a tomato red Antonio Berardi dress in support of her movie The Paperboy. Lest it go unnoticed, we feel compelled to call out a subtler detail as well: If you direct your attention due north of Kidman’s enviable porcelain complexion, you’ll see two diamond-studded hair pins holding her strawberry blond strands back—one on the left side, and one skewed toward the right above her hairline. So far, it’s been a big year—and a big week—for red-carpet hair accessories (see Chastain, Jessica and Dunst, Kirsten), and these barely-there, twinkling clips rank among our favorites, as they’re understated but still pack a pretty punch. Don’t you agree?
