Fashion News Roundup: Emma Watson Has a New Lancôme Ad, Karlie Kloss Runs Around NYC for Free People, and Kim Jong-un Gets a C+ in Fashion

Here’s Emma Watson’s Actual Lancôme Ad: The pretty concept drawings leaked last week, but here’s a look at the finished product, featuring E. Wats looking ever-so seductive. Lancôme’s new makeup lines of lipsticks and nail polishes will hit stores in February. {WWD}

Dakota Fanning Covers Elle UK: Not to be outshone by her fashionable younger sister, whose upcoming Teen Vogue cover hits shelves soon, here’s Dakota’s very own February cover for Elle UK. Though you have to admit, it is a little funny that the word “ELLE” is emblazoned across poor (and pore-less) Dakota’s porcelain forehead in giganto font. Just a little. {Design Scene}

WWD Gives Kim Jong-un a Fashion C+: To be honest, I think they went a little easy on North Korea’s new leader. Though the constructive criticism (“a slightly tapered [pant] leg would help elongate his silhouette”) is a nice, helpful touch. {WWD}

Emma Watson’s Lancôme Makeup Ad Leaked: They’re only concept drawings for the campaign for Lancôme’s upcoming line Rouge in Love, to be released in February, and starring Watson, but man, aren’t they pretty? {Racked}

30 Never Looked So Good: Forbes lists the year’s standout names in Art & Design for their 30 under 30 series. Joseph Altuzarra, Chris Benz, Pamela Love, Alexander Wang and the Olsens are among those that made the cut. Get ready to start feeling very unaccomplished. {Forbes}

Bebe Says ‘I Do’: The mega retailer has ditched one reality TV star (Kim Kardahian) for another (Project Runway contestant Rami Kashou) in an attempt to revamp their brand into something a little more sophisticated. Rami will be designing the brand’s all-growed-up line of bridal wear, which she describes as “feminine, elegant, timeless and romantic.” {The Cut}

Makeup Gets Artsy: Palettes and Powders That Are Too Pretty to Actually Use

Arguably you shouldn’t pay attention to the way a makeup is packaged–it’s all about how it looks on you, right? We all know (and so do cosmetics companies) that subconsciously we’re drawn to the most appealing and beautiful packaging. Companies have taken this concept a step further lately by making the palettes themselves into tiny works of art: Embossed designs and colorful patterns mixed into pressed powders are making our medicine cabinets a lot prettier. From the poshest of brands to the drugstore, you can find these gorgeous palettes everywhere.

Click through to see makeup that looks as good in the package as it does on your face.

Find Out Why Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts’ L’Oréal Ads Have Been Banned in the UK

With governments getting involved in the sometimes misleading world of beauty advertising, cosmetics companies are going to have to ease up on the airbrushing, as L’Oréal just learned the hard way. The UK government recently released guidelines limiting the use of misleading ad alterations, and the American Medical Association recommended similar measures here in the US. The UK is definitely putting its money where its mouth is, and just banned a series of ads featuring Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington.

Could It Be? The First Photos From Emma Watson’s Lancôme Campaign Plus a Making-Of Video

Lancôme announced back in March that actress Emma Watson would be their new ambassadress and it wasn’t long before paparazzi shots of her campaign as it was being shot by Mario Testino in Paris surfaced on the internet. So, we already had an idea of what the campaign, for new Lancôme fragrance Trésor Midnight Rose, would look like.

Now, it appears, official Testino-shot images have surfaced and they are gorgeous. It may be the best Watson has ever looked.

Breaking News: Rent the Runway Teams Up With Lancôme to Sell Makeup

Rent the Runway–the service that lets you rent designer dresses for a few days at a time–is teaming up with Lancôme to sell a selection of color makeup, including Juicy Tubes, eyeliners, and bronzer.

The goal is to give RtR (www.renttherunway.com) clients the “head to toe” experience: Not only can you now wear a high-end dress for a fraction of the price, you can have makeup that complements your new look delivered in the same package.

“Lancôme is the perfect partner for our entry into beauty,” Rent the Runway CEO Jennifer Hyman said in a statement. “They’re a luxurious, aspirational and sophisticated brand, just like our designer partners.”

It’s no surprise Rent the Runway is entering the full-price market, and beauty seems like a smart way to do it. Lancôme may be luxurious, but it’s prices are attainable. A Color Design Lipstick, for instance, is $22. Not cheap–but not crazy, either. These impulse purchases should add a nice little cushion to RtR’s top line. (The site also sells lingerie at full-price.)

Chris Benz x Lancome + Saks = A Gift With Purchase You Actually Want

Gift-with-purchase is a beloved tactic of the beauty industry to get you to shell out an extra $15 to get that generic makeup pouch you don’t really need, filled with samples that don’t go with your complexion at all.

Lancôme is raising the bar a bit this month by collaborating with Chris Benz on a gift-with-purchase that will make you seek out the Lancôme counter even if you don’t need a new Juicy Tube yet.

Emma Watson Wants to Do an Eco-Friendly Beauty Line With Lancôme

Sneak Peek: Emma Watson’s Lancôme Campaign

We got a sense of what Emma Watson’s Lancôme campaign would look like when she was snapped by paparazzi back in March–that’s when Mario Testino was shooting the starlet for Lancôme’s Trésor line in Paris. Now Style.com’s Beauty Counter blog has the first image of the campaign up. Watson looks lovely and I like that there’s something Liza/Cabaret-ish about the campaign (or what we’ve seen of it so far).

According to the Beauty Counter blog, we’ll be seeing a lot more of Watson in the coming months.
