Here is a look back at some stars and some Dior...

Marlene Dietrch at a Dior show in 1951:

The gorgeous Lauren Bacall with Bogie at a Dior show in 1952:

The heavenly Sophia Loren in Dior.  Look at that back!  that behind!  those eyes!  those lips!  I love this dress by Marc Bohan for Christian Dior 1967:

and the beautiful Marilyn Monroe looking ethereal and a vision in black with long black gloves and her almost white/blonde hair in Dior 1962:

and Charlize Theron in Dior at the Oscars 2005:

and, of course, you know I had to include, Natalie Portman in Christian Dior haute couture from 1954 (and from RARE vintage : ) at the 2012 Academy Awards:

If you can't make it to the Christian Dior Museum in Granville for the show, you can pre-order the book, Stars in Dior here.

A Beautiful Photo

I really love this photo of Natalie Portman at the Academy Awards in our Christian Dior gown.  She looks so beautiful.  I think Mr. Dior would have been thrilled!

Into The Gloss: Oscar Prep with Natalie Portman!

I was so excited to see this post on one of my favorite websites.  I love reading Into the Gloss.  The stories about creams, make up, facials, hair... it is all very personal and sometimes the posts are really funny and  you get great tips.  I found an amazing woman for eyebrows on Into the Gloss: Yasmin at Haven Spa.  And I almost passed out cold onto the floor and needed to be revived with a good strong whiff of lavender when I got the bill: $20!  I don't how much you pay for eyebrow shaping but I was use to about $100 which is kind of crazy for just two little ol' eyebrows.  But anyway back to this incredible post on today's Into The Gloss.  

Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman's Oscar Prep.  Yes, you read that right!  Thank you Kate!  And I agree, it was definitely meant to be!

Talk about getting close to the action. Kate Young, the superstar stylist and self-proclaimed beauty fanatic, spent the last few days in Los Angeles getting her friends Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams ready for the Oscars. Today, she shares her behind-the-scenes snapshots and her story exclusively with ITG. Enjoy!

“Natalie’s dress is amazing. It’s an actual 1954 spring couture dress, from Rare Vintage on 57th street in New York. We borrowed it - she was actually going to wear another dress but then I got a call from the woman at Rare Vintage and she was like, ‘You should see this dress for Natalie.’ So we went and she put it on, and it needed zero alterations, and Natalie was like, ‘This was meant to be, wasn’t it?’ And I said, ‘I guess it was.’

I really love this detail photo of the Dior dress:

So let me just say how delighted I am that Style.com said that Natalie Portman, in our Dior dress from 1954, looked young and fresh.  Just goes to show how timeless a dress that is nearly 60 years old can be!
