Kristen Stewart Bares All For Balenciaga’s New Florabotanica Fragrance Campaign

Posted on March 25, 2014 at 7:31 pm

Kristen Stewart baring all in the latest campaign (Balenciaga)

What is it with celebs this week coming out with colourful floral designs all over their naked bodies Only last weekend did Chezza Cole unveil the extent of that rose tattoo on her rather pert little backside, and now new Balenciaga images have been released showing a completely topless Kristen Stewart posing in the latest Florabotanica campaign. Flower power, indeed!

K-Stew has been the face of cult Balenciaga fragrance Florabotanica since 2012, although this is the first time the sullen starlet has posed in the buff for the campaign. The latest campaign image is shot in black and white, apart from Kristen’s bare back which is covered with multi-coloured flowers on a vine wrapped around her nude shoulders. We haven’t seen K-Stew looking this gorgeous for a while, and reckon ex-boyfriend R-Patz might have a thing or two to say when he sees these snaps…

In the latest images, the Twilight star wears her dark tresses tied back off her face in a sleek, loose chignon and sports a winning smoky eye teamed with a slick of gloss across her lips. What’s more, us beauty ladies give full marks to Kristen’s bold brows- bang on for autumn/winter!

When describing the essence of a true Balenciaga woman, K-Stew gushed, “She is free. One can tap into qualities they might not know they have wearing Balenciaga. For me it’s a boldness, a very seductive assertiveness. I recognize myself when I wear it (the perfume), which is important.” We couldn’t agree more K-Stew, and reckon you’re looking pretty damn hot in the new ad!

What do you think of Kristen’s new look Check out her hair history in the gallery below…

At just 24 years old Tanya Burr already has Make-Up Artist, Fashion and Beauty Blogger and YouTube beauty guru on her CV and she’s fast becoming a regular face on the red carpet at parties and premieres. Here at Grazia Daily we’ve been following her work for some time now and have loved the tips she offers up in her weekly feature where she’s revealed how to get the beauty looks of A-list stars from Taylor Swift to Lana Del Rey.

Here at Grazia Towers we are a fan of the Flashback Friday hashtag, so we loved to see Tanya get into the throwback spirit sharing her school photo. Mini Tanya is blonde (yes really) sporting funky plaits with green bobbles that perfectly match her jumper. Clearly a beauty blogger in the making, with that cute hairstyle. Speaking of adorable, she also posted a black and white illustration of her and her fiance Jimmy. She also went to fellow YouTuber, Fleur de Force’s wedding, where Tanya wore a snakeskin print dress with tan heels and a pretty side braid. Then in important news, Tanya also shows us just how weird walnuts look. You have a point there Ms Burr they are pretty funky…

Alexa Chung Signs Deal To Work With Cosmetics Brand Eyeko – Let’s Take A Look Back At Her Best Beauty Moments

Posted on March 19, 2014 at 9:24 am

Alexa Chung with Max and Nina Leykind [Steve Eichner]

That Alexa Chung is a busy bee. Not only is the Brit style icon a presenter on daily music TV show Fuse News, the author of soon to be released fashion tome ‘It’ and the face of L’Oreal Professionnel IONA Colour, but she’s just signed a deal to work with indie cosmetics brand Eyeko. The star has announced that she’s joined forces with partners Max and Nina Leykind who created the company in 1999, which has since developed an A-list following among stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Gemma Arterton and Salma Hayek.

Eyeko focuses specifically on products for the eye – namely mascaras and liners, and Alexa uses them to create her signature look. She explained: “I’m really excited to be working with Eyeko. It is probably no secret I’m a big fan of the cat-eye eyeliner flick and after trying many different brands Eyeko definitely is the best in creating my favourite 60’s look.”

However the star won’t just be starring in campaigns for Eyeko, she’s already begun the creative process of working with Max and Nina on all aspects of the business from product names to packaging. She told WWD, “It’s a creative relationship. I send images and different inspirations to Max and Nina and we go from there. It’s quite free form at the moment.” The collaboration may have come as an easy and natural step, but it’s clearly not something Alexa takes lightly. Nina revealed, “She’ll e-mail us in the middle of the night and say, ‘Hey, what about this, such a cool name for a product. I don’t think it would work if we weren’t on the same wavelength.”

While Alexa has is a loyal Eyeko costumer, it seems that Eyeko have kept their (ahem) eye on her too as Max confirmed, “We’ve been fans of Alexa’s for a long time, and we were like, ‘She’s an eye freak like us’. She’s as obsessed as we are.”

And for Miss Chung, Eyeko’s products are an extension of her public image: “Liquid liner is my savior. Other people like other things to feel like they look normal, but for me, I’m pretty much naked without my eyeliner on. It’s my comfort blanket.”

Take a look Alexa Chung’s best makeup looks in the gallery below…
