BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Marion Cotillard, who's been in the spotlight as of late promoting her film, Public Enemies, is a vision of French sophistication. And her look at Christian Dior's Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture show earlier today was no exception. Recently, model Selita Ebanks broke the rules by pairing cool eyes with a warm lip, and now, in ultrachic fashion, it's Marion's turn.

This time the look couples a warm gold shadow with a cool blue-based red lipstick. We all know that gold and bronzy tones make blue eyes pop. Add some dark, Marilyn-esque waves to the mix, and it's chic with a French twist. Find out my tips for achieving this look after the jump

Love It or Hate It? Marion Cotillard's Sleek Pompadour

BellaSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:11:28 -0700

Over the past few years, I've been known to sing the praises of Marion Cotillard's oh-so French makeup and hairstyles. Whether it's some severe smoky eyes, a berry-stained lip, or an Oscar-worthy dark lipstick, her beauty looks are inspiring - not to mention just plain cool. But, has this award-winning French actress delivered the gotta-have-it-factor once again? At the Public Enemies premiere in London earlier today, Marion accentuated her red satin strapless Vivienne Westwood dress with a blunt-bottomed, slicked-back pompadour hairstyle. Does her coiffure have you singing her praises, or does it miss its mark?

What I like most about a red lip is that it doesn't have to be too fussy, as the ladies of the 2009 red carpet prove. Whether it was subtle and matte like Anne Hathaway or bold and raspberry-toned à la Alicia Keys, it just goes to show you that red-toned lipstick is always en vogue. Check out my slideshow to see how these actresses worked just about every shade of red. Source

How-To: Marion Cotillard's Oscars Hair

BellaSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 09:00:35 -0800

The belle Marion Cotillard is sitting pretty right now. Her Oscar win means that we'll be seeing a lot more of this Gallic gal, and considering that she's as stylish as she is talented, that's a good thing for all of us. Last night, she looked softly stunning; I especially loved how her soft, flowing curls framed her face. Stylist Robert Vetica for Frederic Fekkai gave me the scoop on how he created this look.

"Marion changes her look a lot simply because I think she can," he said of his inspiration. "Her beauty lies in the spirit with which she carries herself. You look at her and want to get to know her." For this award-worthy style, he gave Marion a modern take on Veronica Lake's iconic waves. For his tips on recreating the look at home, read more

Step one: First, apply a protective styling serum or spray to give hair shine and hold; Robert used Fekkai Coiff Shape and Set Mist ($28) on Marion.

Step two: Blow-dry hair smooth in the desired direction. In Marion's case, Robert gave her a deep left part. The left side was blown away from her face and from that same part, it was dried side to front on the right side.

Step three: Take a 3/4-inch barrel curling iron, and create sections around the perimeter of the head at the neck. Start curling on the left, behind the ear, working around the back.

Step four: When you get to the front, curl the hair front and sideways towards the back. Robert's tip: "To really achieve this loose wave, curl big sections." Finish with hairspray; Robert used Fekkai Coiff Fini Sheer Hold ($23) on Marion's hair.

This certainly isn't everyday eye makeup, but there's something oh-so French about the severe shadow paired with pale lips. What do you think?

The jolie Eva Green took a cue from her fellow Frenchwoman Marion Cotillard by wearing smoky eyes to a movie premiere. But at last night's premiere of The Golden Compass, she opted for bold, matte red lips. Mixing these two dramatic looks can be tricky, even for a movie star. Do you think she pulls it off?
