Orange Bronzer Is Out. Good Riddance.

It wasn't that long ago that almost every red carpet event made us question the sanity of the celebs makeup artists who went to town with too dark, too orange, too heavy blushes and bronzers. These tributes to George Hamilton weren't doing any favors to the celebs sporting them, though. It's nice to see how things have changed. Here are five different looks from the last few days. Whether sporting a dramatic dark lipstick (Charlize Theron, Thandie Newman), exquisitely done eyes like Kate Beckinsale or delicate and fresh like Blake Lively and Miranda Kerr, there's no more muddy cheeks, and we're all better for it.

More Celeb Nails: Charlize Does Black

I don't know how I feel about this black (or is it the darkest navy? I looked at several photos and it mostly looks black) nail polish Charlize Theron was sporting yesterday at a Tokyo event. I'm also not crazy about the black bra under a sheer beige top (too Madonna circa her bra-showing days). But the shoes are fabulous (as is the vampy pedi) and I love that they're a bit broken-in.

Lace

I'm enough of a girly girl to like lace in theory, though I tend to restrict it to a camisole picking under a jacket or to lingerie. I didn't have any lace on my wedding dress, so I doubt I'll ever have a use for a gown of this kind (from Life & Style magazine). As always, Angelina Jolie is perfection, while Vanessa Minnillo isn't doing herself much of a favor in this oddly-proportioned frock (and since when do I take fashion cues from someone who's claim to fame is posing with Lindsay Lohan and from having sex in public with Nick Lachey?). Charlize Theron is gorgeous, but I could live with seeing less of her torso and more of her legs. As for Uma the Ethereal, wearing such a dress must be her reward for wearing size 11 shoes. No one else can pull off a dress like that (and, please, don't even try).


My consolation will be cute lacy accessories, that can be worn with more pedestrian outfits. I'm not sold on the lace pumps: Wearing them with jeans would be just a little too Jersey for my comfort level. But the rest of these, especially the clutch are lovely.
