German actress Diane Kruger wore Jason Wu to the opening of the Jaeger–LeCoultre Cannes boutique opening on Tuesday. She was in Cannes to attend the première of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (sic).
Kruger is the brand ambassador for Jaeger–LeCoultre. Also attending was CEO Jérôme Lambert.
This year seems like Wu’s year: not only has Kruger chosen his designs, he is reportedly a favourite of American First Lady, Michelle Obama.

It’s that time again: Telecom Movies in Parks is set to bring some classic and more recent New Zealand films to some of Auckland’s parks and reserves. Although many don’t like to admit the last days of summer are definitely out the window, what better way to make the most of autumn than snuggling up with a blanket and some nibbles in the open air of some of Auckland’s most glorious landscapes? Viewers will be spoiled by live Kiwi music to open the films which are then projected after sunset onto a large, inflatable screen. And to top it off—it’s free!
Tonight kicks off with dramatic comedy Second Hand Wedding at Glover Park in St Heliers, and on Wednesday, April 8, is Peter Jackson’s King Kong.
Viewers are also encouraged to respect the environment by adopting a “pack in–pack out” attitude by taking their rubbish home with them. For more information, visit www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/whatson/events/moviesinparks.
The late HSH Princess Grace would have turned 80 this year had she not been tragically killed in a car crash in the 1980s. Painter Peter Engels’ portrait of the Princess, Vintage, will be auctioned on May 9 at 3 p.m. by Sotheby’s at the Casino de Monaco, in the presence of her son, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Last year, Engels’ 200 by 100 cm portrait of Nelson Mandela, painted with a pallet knife and revealed prior to Mandela’s 90th birthday, was auctioned with proceeds going to the former president’s Aids charity, 46664 (named for his cell number during South Africa’s apartheid years). Both Engels and his Mandela painting appeared on the screen at Times Square in New York.
This time, proceeds from the auction will go to the Lions’ Club of Monaco, for handicapped children.
Engels says, ‘I pay homage to one of the most elegant women of all time. She was a fascinating woman. She remains an icon 25 years after her death, and continues to fascinate us.’
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California visited the Salon de Genève to support US automakers exhibiting there, as well as to highlight alternative energies for cars, a cause that he has championed. Although he did venture to the Lamborghini to look at one of its latest models.
Here’s footage from L’Oréal Paris on its latest TVC, starring Elizabeth Banks, and long-time spokeswomen Eva Longoria Parker and Beyoncé Knowles. We have sound bites from the celebrities, clips from the B-roll and the True Match TVC itself.

Our words last year: Elizabeth Banks is the it girl of 2008–9. It seems L’Oréal Paris agrees, with footage of Banks’s first TVC for the French cosmetics giant hitting the press today. Last October, Lucire promoted Zack and Miri Make a Porno, one of Banks’s films, one of four in which she starred (the others being W, Role Models and Meet Dave).
Of all the news we are getting about celebrities, one seemed to appear more often over the last week in conversation and news: Mischa Barton.
Barton has had a whirlwind few months with filming in India, stopping off in the UK, New York Fashion Week, and now Los Angeles.
At New York Fashion Week, Barton was spotted constantly with a Pantera Dual ring with a diamond Maltese cross charm, Pantera Trio necklace (pictured below), and golden Mahlia Belize bracelet.
Juicy Couture decided to buck the doom and gloom of American economic news by opening its Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City—and plenty of celebrities turned out to support founders Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy. Juicy Couture—which Lucire has been covering for years as well—now emcompasses swimwear, sunglasses, intimates, kids’ and babies’ clothing, men’s (Dirty English), jewellery and leather goods.

Campari launched its 2009 calendar, starring Jessica Alba, at a celebrity event in Milano yesterday. We’ve featured a few of Mario Testino’s stunning images from the calendar, with Alba promoting the red spirit in each one, some subtly, some less so (with the Campari bottle being quite noticeable). Also noticeable: make-up has been getting a lot more glamorous as 2009 begins.
