Bérénice Marlohe is moving from Bond Girl to Swarovski Girl as the face of the accessory brand’s new Sparkling Moments campaign. “The idea was to show how the sparkle and beauty of the jewelry transcends simple moments of a woman’s daily life,” photographer Signe Vilstrup said of the look. And Marlohe is no stranger to sparkle or beauty! The French stunner starred in Swarovski’s fall 2012 campaign, and she wore a gown decked out in 60,000 Swarovski crystals when she starred in Skyfall.

Parker Star Emma Booth’s Red Carpet Ode to Australia

Jan 25, 2013 @ 4:10 pm

Emma Booth stars in Parker—the new Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham action movie, in theaters today—as Claire, the sweet girlfriend of Statham’s character who nurses him back to health. For the New York premiere of the film this week, the Australian actress paid homage to her native country on the red carpet by wearing an LBD by Tome, a New York label created by Australian designer Ryan Lobo and former Derek Lam design director Ramon Martin. “I want to represent!” the actress told InStyle.com of her decision to wear a design by an Australian. “They’re about to be huge. I love the back on it. It’s really wonderful.” The piece itself isn’t even available yet—it’s part of the yet-to-be-debuted fall 2013 collection. Though, what’s the most impressive thing about this outfit? The fact that she wore it in sub-freezing temperatures in New York, without a jacket. Now that’s being brave for fashion!

Nail Trend to Try: Robin’s Egg Manicures

Jan 25, 2013 @ 3:44 pm

We’re loving a new trend developing in the nail world—speckled lacquers! Inspired by a mix of mint chip ice cream and the markings on a robin’s egg, both Deborah Lippmann and Illamasqua are launching speckled nail polishes, which incorporate matte black glitter against a creamy pastel base. “When creating this formula, I was thinking of ways to make black glitter wearable,” Lippmann said of her Staccato line, which includes a trio of pink, white, and teal hues that will be available for $19 each at deborahlippmann.com in April. “I love that we took very wearable spring shades and gave them more pizzazz—even a bit of an edge!” Meanwhile, Illamasqua will also release a five-shade range ($16 each), which lands at sephora.com next week.
