We first came across Ruby Rose as Stella
Carlin, when she popped up on a newish show that was doing rather well on
Netflix, way back in 2015. Orange Is The New Black. You may have heard
of it. Then we met her for real, when our trusty Team Fake Bake tanned
her for the MTV EMAs, and we were absolutely bowled over by her
beauty, her personal style and the type of cheekbones that are only granted by
nature. You can’t contour them, you can’t cheat them, and you can’t buy them.
Fact. She absolutely rocked her Fake Bake tan that night and instead of
going for the usual starlet dress, she killed it in a tux. The stage had
literally been set for a glittering future, and luckily for us, we have been
with her all the way.
“The Bat is out of the bag, and I am beyond
thrilled and honoured. I’m also an emotional wreck, as this is a childhood
dream.”
What is it about this amazing Australian which
has captured our imaginations and won our hearts and minds? In a world full of
PR spin and controlling and editing every parts of our lives - celebs do it, we
do it - Ruby Rose is the absolute polar opposite. Funny, witty, engaging
and absolutely transparent when it comes to talking about life, love, sexuality
and fame, she’s not just going to be Batwoman. We like to think of her
as the first Totally Woke Batwoman.
Ruby Rose has
the kind of appeal which means she can be Avante Garde and mainstream all at
the same time - hello Pitch Perfect franchise heaven. She also has the
kind of beauty which is both classic and contemporary combined. And in a beauty
world where we feel so many famous faces are all beginning to morph into the
same vision, she holds her own and flies her own flag. She’s a Grace Kelly
kind of wonderful with a Siouxsie Sioux punk edge. You can’t manufacture
her look and style, but like us, you can certainly be inspired.
As for fashion, she takes really simple pieces
and makes them standout stars. From ballgowns to double denim, she just slips
something onto those elegant shoulders and brings anything she wears to life.
We have been lucky since that first meeting to have helped get Ruby Rose
red-carpet ready so many times, and she also surprises us with her
choices. You know how some famous faces are kind of chained to the same look?
Not Ruby Rose. She can wear 50’s inspired girlie to pin straight tailoring and
everything in between. That makes her a one-off.
And, just for the record, we also adore her off
duty put-togethers. This is just for the ticket for end-of-summer chic. We’d
definitely double that look ourselves with the help of our very own Fake
Bake Double Shot Espresso. It is literally the strong superhero product in
our range, our ultimate kick-ass gel. Concentrated, easy to apply, streak-free
and fast developing, it is for the fearless tanner who wants to make her
very own style statement. Pretty princess types in pink need not apply.
Hey, we can be honest here, this is our voice.
We love that we get to work with so many great people - we just don’t have a
type, in any way. From girl-next-door to rock chick, from Geordie Shore
to Hollywood, we just like making everyone look and feel fabulous. You
don’t need to keep up with anyone with us - everyone is included. You are all
welcome in our tanning tents, and we hope you also find space for our nozzles
and tubes on your bathroom shelves. We are honoured that you get involved. You
are all in our Team.
One life lesson we always learn from Ruby
Rose is: it is always OK to be just who you are. You are beautiful and
wonderful and fearless. Put on that superhero mask every day, an invisible one
helps out here in the Real World, and go out there and show the world exactly
what you are made of.
Oh, and you can never, ever go wrong with a tan
and a tux. It’s simply impossible.
