Celebrity beauty trend – Purple Violet
6:24:00 PM
Violet
tones are a constant presence on runways, stages or red carpets for a few years
now. And it’s no surprise as this royal color can convey both elegance and a
bohemian exotic style. One of the latest acclaimed designer collections to
recognize this is English Rose line
for Spring 2014 one can find in Burberry
stores in London, a
beautiful display in soft fluid fabrics, with a garden of lace, floral motifs
and all sorts of feminine embellishments in rosy purples and lavender shades.
The purple
shades of 2012 are slowly getting replaced by colder violets in 2013, culminating
with two of Pantone’s favorite colors for Spring 2014 – Violet Tulip and
Radiant Orchid. Looking beyond numbers and official guidelines, the simple way
to look at trends is to see what celebrities are wearing: daily life, TV shows,
photo shoots, red carpet appearances and even instagram, they all give us a
peek at the fashion and beauty trends that celebrities adore.
It’s not
just about clothing, and celebrities seem to recognize this; a violet sundress
or a purple skirt are an expressive dash of color but what makes more of a
statement than a deep berry lipstick? Well, few things indeed, but what about
violet hair? Kelly Osbourne’s colorful looks have started an entire rainbow
hair addiction with countless celebrities (and fans alike) trying out those
light blue-violet strands, in different interpretations. It’s a delicate look
to get right but from Kelly’s completely lilac set of hair to Alexa Chung’s use
of hair chalk in delicate hues, there are all sorts of options you can explore.
Lilah Parsons went halfway and dyed her tips with different violet tones
contrasting nicely with her brunette hair. It’s a good look for blondes too,
but maybe avoid Christina Aguilera’s half-do or Jessie J’s bold color if you
don’t have to attitude to match. A spectacular hair accessory like Katy Perry’s
plastic-fantastic violet flowers is a style statement just as effective.
So maybe
you don’t want to go all out on the purple addiction and start with something
more temporary, like make-up. 2014’s runways were full of pretty experiments
with violet powders. Staring with Marchesa’s sensible lilac eyeshades and
ending with Emerson’s purple winged eyeliner, there’s a look for every style.
Take a look at Kerry Washington for an elegant apparition at a cocktail party
or some Emma Roberts inspiration for an eye-catching dancing queen on a night
out. Just get your gentleman a purple jacket to match and you’re ready to party
in style (Gucci style, to be exact)!
Lancome
charmed everybody, Arlenis Sosa included, with its Violet Grove Nail Polish in
a bright violet shade. Effective but discrete, it’s a bold choice that goes
well with the fanciest of occasions. Just ask Pippa Middleton, who chose a
similar shade from NARS Andy Warhol Pop Collection.
Last but
not least, there’s one more kind of purple you can try for a truly dramatic
effect: violet lips. Lana del Rey had the courage to pull off a dark mulberry
tone, just like Kate Bosworth’s cherry lips, while Amanda Seyfried goes for a
true purple shade that contrasts beautifully with her blonde wavy hair. Azealia
Banks was so enchanted by this trend that she launched her own collaboration
with M∙A∙C on a limited edition lipstick in a rich purple shade, called Yung
Rapunxel.
From warm purples
on lips to rosy lavenders on clothes and glacial violet hairstyles, violet is
here to stay, like it or not. The good news it there’s a shade for everyone, no matter how you choose to wear it, and celebrities show
us you can wear violet no matter what hair color, skin tone or fashion style
you have, just wear it with pride!
