Backstage at Alex Perry

Backstage at Alex Perry

It’s doubtful there was ever any real danger of Alex Perry going all introvert on us. The man likes to bring it. But this (oh my!) is something else. Epic doesn’t cover it.

We’re in a soundstage at Fox Studios so big it would intimidate your average aircraft hangar. The security guys are easily the gnarliest of the week. And when the rev of a squadron of Parlux hairdryers crashes into a danced-up Blondie beat, I can tell you: it’s bloody loud.

Kim Cattrall gets the chop

Kim Cattrall gets the chop

The Sex and the City 2 star unveiled a brand new ’do at the Tokyo premiere this week. Kim cast aside the 40s-style loose waves she’s been favouring of late for a sleek, sophisticated bob that’s positively – dare we say – Anna Wintour-esque.

Abbey Lee Kershaw has also taken from Anna’s signature bob for her new look, unveiled in the current edition of Vogue Nippon. The eye-scraping fringe is there, but the length hits her shoulders, making it softer and more youthful.

The Aggy has been the most requested cut for a while now – could this season be all about The Anna?

Dior signs Natalie Portman

Dior signs Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman has finally yielded to (what we can only imagine to be) relentless wooing from the big beauty brands to sign her as an ambassador.

With her impeccable pedigree – beauty, elegance, style and talent – and firm A-list standing, Dior have certainly scored a coup signing her as the new face of Parfums Christian Dior.

Natalie is no stranger to an all-star cast, and this new role places her among the likes of Dior fragrance faces such as Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone, Monica Bellucci and Jude Law.
