Fashion Spotlight – Madonna’s Failure, Agyness Deyn’s Old Hollywood Glam

Oh what in crazy granny is this mess? Dear sweet style Gods, have mercy on this abomination. If someone about 30 years younger would be wearing this it’d be one of those boundary pushing ensembles you could get away with. However, Madonna has managed to take this to a Mach 3 Fug.

While the point of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala is to strut your most unique and trendsetting garb, this was a horrid choice for her. She really needs to start acting her age. While women over the age of 20 are no longer damned to sweater sets, she could have produced a look with her fashion pioneering skills without looking so desperate. (I am not sure where the idea to cover a mangled hanger with a few napkins sewn together came from either.)

Perhaps Madonna should be taking notes from Agyness Deyn. The English rose captured old Hollywood glamour in Bulgari. She paired a yellow gold tourmaline, emerald and diamond ring with a white gold and diamond pave necklace. It’s a combination that was subtle yet still managed to turn heads. One can never go wrong in pieces from the lux jeweler. Someone send Madge a memo on that.

On a special note – Bulgari is launching a skin care line that I am eager to try. I will be sampling some of the products and reviewing them. If you are like me and can’t wait to try it, you can get buy yours now. (Click HERE to Shop Bulgari’s Skincare line.) More to come!

Without makeup, big-screen celebs can look as drab as the rest of us on a supermarket run. One look at these pictures and you’ll wonder who stole their sizzle. But read on. Makeup artists for some of the world’s biggest beauty brands have put together step-by-step face charts that will take your face from wan to wow, just like your favorite star.

Who’s that girl? Sure, her Madjesty is hard to miss, even when she hides her makeup-free face beneath a trucker’s cap. But getting Madonna red-carpet ready requires a bit more of the royal treatment.

Madonna effortlessly channels a modern Veronica Lake. Her blond curls, makeup and nude lips softly reflect the light, while her sultry blue-green eyes smolder.

To get the Material Girl’s trademark dewy skin, mix a drop of pearlescent highlighter into your moisturizer or foundation. Emphasize eyes with a thick, bold stroke of eyeliner, and load up your lashes with some serious black mascara. Finish the look with a soft blush and lush lipstick.
