Natalie Portman in Dior Beauty At The SAG Awards

Padme Breakdown

Makeup artist Eileen Kastner-Delago created a look inspired by "Old
Hollywood with a modern twist" for Portman.

"I wanted to give her dewy, glowing skin and slightly smokey eyes with a
natural lip color," said Kastner-Delago.

Skin: Dior Capture Totale High Definition Serum Foundation, Dior Skinflash
in Sunbeam #003, DiorSkin Wear-Extending Invisible Retouch Powder
Eyes: Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Stylish Move #970 and Sunset Cafe #440,
Diorshow Mascara in black
Lips: Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Pink Protegee #664 and Dior
Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Satin Peach #236

Stylist Orlando Pita created a sculpted, wavy hair look for Portman, which
was inspired by the look Pita recently created for the Christian Dior Haute
Couture show in Paris.

Queen Amidala's bling was a jaw dropping Tiffany & Co. 27.95 carat pear-shape yellow diamond drop earrings with white diamonds set in platinum. The price for these sparkles is a cool 2 million dollars. She paired it with some delicate Tiffany & Co. Metro Diamond bangles.

The gown was Azzaro. I am not loving her dress choices for the award season.

Oud To Saffron

Bond No 9 is launching a third oud based fragrance for Valentines Day. This oud is less masculine than the previous incarnations. It begins with a rich plummy top note followed by a truly spectacular saffron note. The saffron note just "sings" and is lightly peppered with orange zest.

The mid-intermission stars the oud note. This oud is thick and syrupy. It is mixed with a nosegay of roses, rooty orris, and a dirty patchouli. The earthy dry down is musky with smooth honey and vetiver. Each note is uncluttered and perfectly orchestrated. All the notes are given time to shine and shimmer!

The star bottle is gunmetal grey with glints of gold. The inspiration was the New York streetscape at twilight. Bond 9 New York Oud will retail for $310 and will appear at Saks counters and Bond stores in February 2011. This might be the perfect Valentine scent gift for your sweetheart!
