Kirsten Dunst
Daring, sweet and nonchalantly chic – Kirsten Dunst has the perfect mix of classic, feminine style.
Downtown cool meets feminine romance; understated yet luxurious…
Named Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in ‘Melancholia’, Kirsten Dunst is also receiving acclaim for her unique, nonchalant approach to style. Wonderfully feminine and sophisticated yet equally strong – Dunst is the epitome of modern-day, cool-girl chic.
Favouring Chanel, Rodarte, Miu Miu or Chloé for her Red Carpet moments, Dunst channels ‘Old-Hollywood’ glamour with timeless ease. Often choosing pieces in interesting textures and diaphanous fabrics; Dunst teams them with a bold lip and no-fuss hair for maximum impact.
And what is even more impressive about her memorable looks is that Dunst styles herself. Having been the face of Miu Miu; Dunst now appears in the campaigns for Bulgari’s Jasmin Noir Fragrance.

A Popping Red Pout
A bold lip instantly creates a lasting impression & draws attention to a luscious pout.
Red lipstick is a true beauty icon. Timeless, classic and seductively chic – a red pout evokes smouldering ‘Old Hollywood Glamour’ and unmistakable appeal.
As the most popular lip colour for nearly a century, red lipstick is elegant, sophisticated and sexy. The popularity of red lipstick was significantly boosted by Hollywood Silver Screen icons, like Marilyn Monroe, who would often choose vivid shades of red. Red lipstick brightens the face and whitens your smile. And with so many red tones now available – there is certainly the perfect shade to complement any complexion.
And did you know… During World War II women were encouraged to wear red lipstick as a morale booster? Servicewomen were also required to wear lip colour that matched the red chevrons on their uniforms and cords on their hats. To meet this demand Elizabeth Arden created the iconic Montezuma Red.
Rock a bold red lip flawlessly with some simple preparation and a little tender loving care. Before applying your red shade, gently exfoliate lips and use a light balm. Keep your eye makeup minimal so all attention is drawn to your lovely lips.

Pretty In Pink
As style icon Audrey Hepburn once said: ‘I believe in pink…’
From the lightest loveliest pastel to delicious vivid shades of candy – pink always packs the perfect punch.
This coming Spring / Summer season, many Designers have embraced this charming tone – perfect for a sweet Summer romance. Not too girly and not too precious – pink is bold, optimistic and arrestingly alluringly.
From Yves Saint Laurent to Ralph Lauren, Chanel to Prada – pink enlivens the senses and evokes a nostalgic sweetness. My favourite though, the bold, bright shade of candy at Valentino – delectable enough to eat!
On the runway, pink was worn with black to add a toughened edge to this adorable tone. Or why not be daring and simply wear pink from head to toe…
