"Acting, is the art of becoming somebody else."
Moss Hart
SCENE 1
First show of sorcery: A sighingly romantic flaxen-blonde. The means - Ivory chiffon by Clairol, coiffure by Maison Antoine. Complexion, ivory; eyes misted in lavender; lips light coral. to enhance the shimmering illusion, an incandescent jewelled pin, shaped like a Burmese pagoda. By Vendome. With it, draped at the throat, a scarf of myriad shrimp-colored beads, each one embedded in crystal, like roe en gelee. By Hattie Carnegie.
Kelly Osbourne Greype
SCENE 2
The magic,here, is distinctly disingenuous, full of witchery and worldliness. The tint of hair, pale beige touched with lilac - Mist of Mauve, a couturier colour by L'Oreal. This coiffure, draped like a strip of satin from side to side, coils sinuously at the top of the head. By Monsieur Marcel. Skin tone, rose beige; eye make-up, lavender;lip colour, clear rich rose. Draped like a collar of cloth at the throat, endless yards of round little roe beads creating a moving, vibrant pattern of colour - violet, green and pink - which delicately reiterates the lilac in the hair. Hattie Carnegie necklace.
SCENE 3
A look composed of equal parts sheer fantasy and high sophistication. The colour of the hair is burnished peach a Fanci-fullRinse for bleached hair by Roux called - disarmingly - Just Peachy. The smooth, gleaming hair is drawn from one side across the top of the head, whirled in back, swirled on the other side. The style - by Coiffures Americana. The complexion, peach tone; eye allure, bronzy-green; lips, bright coral. Starry swollen pin of extraordinary depth and dimensionality: a burst of coral stalks against leaves paved with emerald green, peridot stones. By Miriam Haskell.
SCENE 4
A serene and notable coiffure in the classic repertoire, paradoxically demure and saucy as a Jane Austin heroine. The colourig: Grecian Blonde, a light soft, natural brown by Tintair. The hair is shaped forward from a centre part, then drawn up into a smooth, crowning coil. Coiffure by Andre Amelio of the Salon Debbian. Make-up - sheer classicism - consists of beige complexion, hyacinth blue eye shadow and light, bright red lipstick. The jeweling: fresh green leaves rimmed with gilt, nestling on long pretend pearl strands of almost blue-white perfection. All by Trifari.
