A Bella Donna is more than just a pretty face. Sometimes she starts a trend, other times her impact isn't realized until decades after her debut. And then there are a few who become legendary, like this week's choice, Diana, Princess of Wales.

A Fragrance Fit For Royalty: Cleopatra By Tocca
From Tocca, the queen company of sweetly scented candles and ladylike clothing comes a new fragrance called Cleopatra Eau de Parfum ($68). It is indeed inspired by the best-selling candle scent and, of course, it's named after the feminine Egyptian royal.
Cleopatra was effervescent, powerful and seductive, and so is the fragrance.
Jay-Z Inks a Fragrance Deal
Big news in the celebrity fragrance world: Jay-Z just signed a multi-fragrance deal with Parlux, the company behind scents from stars such as Paris Hilton and Queen Latifah. Through Iconic Fragrances, a company with which Jay-Z has a licensing agreement, he signed a contract that outlines profit sharing and royalties from any fragrances that will be developed.
While there's no news on actual scents yet, the agreement mentions the possibility of scents for Rihanna and Kanye West — so keep an eye out for that.
2008 American Music Awards: Queen Latifah
You probably already know that Queen Latifah is music industry royalty. But did you know that she's a bronze goddess, too? By featuring this shimmery tan shade on her lips, cheeks, and eyes, the look is cohesive and natural, with a chic twist.
In NYC? Meet Leslie Blodgett, Founder of Bare Escentuals
Tour buses aren't just for rock royalty: Bare Escentuals is running one of their own right now. I caught up with founder Leslie Blodgett recently, who told me she loves meeting with fans of the brand. "I use it for my market research," later adding that she polled a room full of Bare Escentuals enthusiasts about the packaging of the brand's forthcoming moisturizer (they wanted a pump, not a tube).
Bella Book: Lessons of a Lipstick Queen
Over the long weekend, I hunkered down with a new book called Lessons of a Lipstick Queen ($15.64) written by Lipstick Queen creator, Poppy King. The book talks more about her becoming an entrepreneur than it does about makeup, as she takes you through the trials and tribulations of her journey from idea to inception.
Poppy's voice is genuine, and her story is interesting, heartfelt and uplifting.
Love It or Hate It? Liv Tyler's Costume Institute Gala Look
Lovely Liv completely changed things up compared to her look at last year's event. This time around, she looks like rock and roll royalty — all black eyeliner, creamy complexion, and tousled hair. Some might say it's too casual, but I think she pulls it off beautifully.
Bella Donna: Grace Kelly
Born in Philadelphia in 1929, Grace Kelly knew she wanted to act by the time she was 12. She moved to Manhattan to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where she worked as a model and appeared in ads for Max Factor Colorfast Lipstick, Lux Toilet Soap, and Old Gold cigarettes.
Kelly's approachable, innocent beauty earned her a seven-year contract with MGM, where she took on many movie roles in a short period of time.
