Love It or Hate It? Lydia Hearst's Fashion Rocks Look

BellaSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 17:19:56 -0700

Socialite, model, and occasional actress Lydia Hearst rocked Fashion Rocks with a revealing red gown. She went just as dramatic with her hair with a high curly updo that is a tad reminiscent of the Bride of Frankenstein, in a beautiful, model-y sort of way. Even more stunning, though, is her flawless complexion. Her face just glows, the smoky eye being the focal point. Unfortunately, I can't help but notice that her foundation is a little too dark for her skin - note the line on her neck. Other than that, I like the look. Do you?

Love It or Hate It? Face Paint At Heatherette

BellaSugar — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:00:25 -0700

Things have always been a little kookier at LA Fashion Week, but the makeup at the Heatherette show this season had more of a Halloween edge than a pretty or polished fashion feel. What do you think of this face paint look on model Lydia Hearst?

Model of the Week: Lydia Hearst

BellaSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 08:00:48 -0700

I love that the BellaSugar and FabSugar teams have been able to bring back Model of the Week! This week, we are featuring the lovely Lydia Hearst. You may recognize her last name from the magazine company that publishes Marie Claire and Bazaar. Or you might know her name from Hearst Castle, from the estate of her great-grandfather William Randolph Hearst, or as the daughter of kidnapping victim Patty Hearst. However, Lydia is more than just an heiress and socialite. She is also a model, an activist, and a philanthropist-and she is coming out with a Puma Lydia handbag in November.

She was born on September 19,1984, as Lydia Marie Hearst Shaw in Wilton, Connecticut. She always loved fashion and makeup, so a modeling career was something that suited her passions. Lydia first got her start in modeling with Ford Models and is now with ONE Model Management.

She has been a part of big campaigns such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, MAC, Alexander McQueen, Moschino Cheap & Chic, DKNY, Bottega Veneta, Clinique, Heatherette, L'Oreal Feria, Neiman Marcus, PUMA, Saks Fifth Avenue, South Coast Plaza, Jovovich-Hawk, Rene Lezard, Lord & Taylor, Sephora, and soon, Roberto Cavalli for H&M. You can look forward to seeing her as the face of NARS for Spring 2008.

In addition to racking up commercial modeling credits, she has appeared on the cover of many magazines like Avenue, German, Italian, Hellas and L'Uomo Vogue, New York, Marie Claire Japan, BON, Flaunt, and Nylon.

Love It or Hate It? Heatherette

BellaSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 19:58:02 -0700

Crazy club-kid duo Heatherette isn't known for being subtle, and its models' hairstyles were as over-the-top as you'd expect. I thought it was a lot of fun, and very young-it reminded me of the way my friends and I would play "hairdresser" as girls.

If you like the winged metallic eyeliner shown here on Chanel Iman (yes, that's her real name), you'll be excited to know that Heatherette will soon have its own makeup line, complete with the lovely Lydia Hearst as its campaign face!

Mr. Nars is a Famed Photog

BellaSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:13:33 -0700

On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of attending an event for Francois Nars held on the ground floor of the swanky boutique department store, Henri Bendel in New York City. Although Mr. Nars had left long before I arrived, I did enjoy meeting all of the friendly gals I've been speaking and emailing with for months over at Nars Cosmetics.

The event was an exhibition honoring the work of Francois Nars. What I learned is that not only is he the head of NARS, but he's also quite a talented photographer. This soiree was put together to commemorate a compilation of ten years of NARS ad campaign images.

The event team transformed the store into an art gallery and had pictures on display as well as giant cubes hanging from the ceiling with different photos on each side. The hosts of the event were Lydia Hearst, Dayle Haddon and Amy Wesson and supposedly Avril Lavigne, Linda Evangelista and Tinsley Mortimer were set to arrive, but I did not see them there.

I did however get to speak with fashion designer Anait Bain and our talk ended with her complimenting my jacket - yay! I also walked away with a fab NARS Jaipur candle that you will certainly be hearing more about!

BellaSugar — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 05:54:55 -0800

On Friday evening, many, many designers, fashionistas, and do-gooders gathered together in New York City's Roseland Ballroom in support of trying to help end the atrocities of genocide taking place in Darfur. Since it was the finale of Fall 2007 Fashion Week, the theme of the event was a grand fashion show appropriately titled, Designers for Darfur.

The hosts of the evening were Lydia Hearst Shaw (shown) and Malcolm Harris of Mal Sirrah. The sponsor was Steve Madden who not only presented, but he also provided all of the footwear for the models.

The show was beautifully orchestrated and went off without a hitch.

All of the clothing was created in Africa's colors; red, green, black/yellow.

All the items from the show are being auctioned off on ebay right now. All profits will go toward the Save Darfur Coalition so please check it out!
