Angelina Jolie and Louis Vuitton are a perfect match

Louis Vuitton are known for choosing powerful independent women to front their campaign – predecessors include Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johanssen and Kate Moss – so today’s confirmation that Angelina Jolie will be the new face of the brand is very fitting.

The elusive, unfeasibly beautiful actress who manages to be mother, a career-woman and humanitarian is the ultimate super woman and is therefore perfectly suited to a brand that epitomises classic style for powerful women.

The actress has always been selective about the campaigns she endorses, having previously modelled for Shiseido and St John, but is known to be a fan of Louis Vuitton and cheif designer Marc Jacobs. Louis Vuitton is also reportedly paying her a record-breaking £6.5 million, more than double what most celebrities get to endorse brands, for a campaign which is likely to be shot by photographer extraordinaire Annie Liebovitz.

It’s So Very Hollywood!

Here at Westfield HQ we get very excited whenever there’s a new limited edition beauty collection – and the new range from Estée Lauder, Michael Kors Very Hollywood Color Collection – is no exception.

Since this gorgeous new collection landed on our desks, we’ve been smitten with it. From the sleek beige packaging to the very glam colours, it’s a collection destined to make you feel like a Hollywood star – even if you live in Lewisham as opposed to LA!

According to Michael, “The inspiration for the Estée Lauder Michael Kors Very Hollywood Color Collection is iconic Hollywood glamour, both past and present, interpreted for everyday life.” And we can say that for once, the blurb is very true.

The Bel Air Beige range features a classic combo of beige and coral, with shimmery peach lips, cheeks and a smoky eye, while the Rodeo Pink range contains vibrant shades of raspberry, with the focus being on bold lips.

Our favourite item in this gorgeous new range though has to be the Estée Lauder Michael Kors Very Hollywood Shimmering Loose Powder. It may not make you look like Angelina Jolie, but we find the silky formula gives us a gorgeous glow, making us feel like we’ve just come back from an A-list holiday in the Bahamas.

It’s a fabulous range, which looks as good on your dressing table as it does on your face and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a sell out. So, to make sure you enjoy a touch of Hollywood glamour at home, get down to your nearest Estée Lauder counter from 1st February!

Celebrity Trend: Leather Luxe

Ever since Angelina Jolie walked down the red carpet this summer looking sensational in a Michael Kors leather dress, leather has been the must-wear fabric. Since then, celebrities such as Kate Moss and Kylie Minogue have also gone hell for leather, which means a leather dress is on the top of most fashionista’s wishlist.

However, unlike the A-list, you might not have the cash to splash on super expensive versions, so we’ve scoured the high street to find three of the best leather dresses to buy – which start from £100 and go up to £299.

With leather, it’s best to spend the most you can afford, as you want the best quality fabric to ensure you look like a superstar and not cheap and tacky! Keep accessories to minimum – high heels are essential but don’t overload the jewellery.
