Since she was appointed the new ambassador of
Lancome earlier this year – Anne Hathaway had certainly upped the ante on her fashion and beauty choices. Once famed for her slightly gawky, teenage wide-eyed look she has recently metamorphosised into a super-stylish starlet.
Anne is starring in a glamorous commercial for the brand's new fragrance, Magnifique, which is out in September.
If you want to get a head start on all the latest beauty, hair and fashion trends for autumn/winter, we're asking the top beauty and fashion editors, bloggers, buyers, makeup and hair artists, stylists and industry experts, to share their pick of the hottest trends for the new season.
First, we have Amy Lawrenson –
ELLE UK Web Assistant and beauty addict – sharing her top beauty buys for autumn's high voltage, dramatic look. Here's her exclusive blog for us:
Next season’s beauty trends are all about drama.
This is the sumer of bright, bold colours and look-at-me makeup. Think peacock blue, cream eyeshadow, with cerise cheeks and raspberry lips.
At the
Haute Couture shows, makeup artists were like magpies for the bright stuff – there were red berry lips at Valentino, lime and yellow eyeshadow at Dior and painted-ladies with purple eyes and bright red lips at Christian Lacroix.
Daria Zhukova – Russian former model and girlfriend of Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich – was looking typically stunning at a private dinner hosted by Stella McCartney, at Harvey Nichols, yesterday.
Daria, also known as Dasha, runs her own fashion line – Kova & T – with old schoolfriend from Christina Tang, and has graced the pages of Vogue, not least because of her relationship with Abramovich. I'm sure it has something to do with her absolute gorgeousness too...
The new Lancôme woman is all about being irreverent, free-spirited, audacious and spontaneous. "She's the kind of woman that can wear a Prada dress with flip-flops or Christian Louboutin shoes with a T-shirt." Lancôme's new makeup maestro, Aaron de Mey told
Womens Wear Daily. "And she's French — because Lancôme is French." Well indeed, but she sounds kinda English to us.
Either way, we can expect a new collection of extremes, starting with black versus red.
