Lady Gaga is everywhere at the moment. Come on, you
must have seen A Star Is Born by now. Yes, we went to spy on Bradley
Cooper, but her performance in it is awe inspiring. An Oscar has to
be on its way, surely? We remember first seeing the First Lady of Music on
MTV’s The Hills, back in the days when she was doing showcase gigs in
clubs. She had something so different and special about her even then, and now
we know more than ever just why she’s not just a super talent, but literally
the voice of her generation. Who would have thought when she was getting styled
by Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port that she would go on to become such a
megastar?
Over the last decade, Lada
Gaga hasn’t just developed a signature style, she has literally wowed us
with her artistry. We also love the fact that she’s grown with us when it comes
to tanning styles. When she launched Poker Face, she created a
look that is still copied…..
Lady Gaga has never been an identikit pop star.
She’s always struck out on her own, and maintained control over her unique
image. We love the fact that she sometimes matches a really powerful look, and
a golden glow with more girly elements….
Gaga has always been at the forefront of couture
and has worked with all of the best fashion houses. From Dior to Chanel,
she’s certainly one for trying the most out-there looks, but sometimes we love
it when she takes the more simple approach. We adore the campaign she did for
Versace, and, of course, the resemblance to a certain Donatella
jumped straight off the page, statement tan to match!
OK, so we still talk
about that meat-inspired dress, but we think our fave Lady looks amazing
when she channels Old Hollywood for the red carpet. Here she is doing a modern
Marilyn, complete with retro waves, the perfect white dress and that gorgeous
skin finish….
In A Star Is Born,
Gaga’s style is stripped right back. We never thought we’d ever see her in
jeans, or looking a little less directional, but she really suits the darker
hair and subtle tan…
Last week, at Elle
USA’s Women In Hollywood Awards, she strode the red carpet in oversized Marc
Jacobs and literally stole the fashion crown of the event, which was packed
full of L.A.’s most powerful ladies. She also spoke from the heart, which is
always what she does in her music, and we love that we can relate to her
personal story. And the look? Well, maybe we won’t go quite so oversized but
we’ve already been stalking the new 80’s themed tailoring in Zara. This
suit hits the Gaga spot.
As for the styling
and tan, she certainly still has a bit of an Italian edge to us - a gal
called Stefani Germanotta is always going to go for the glow! We love
the simple hair, statement tan and power shoulder. Just add a contoured
cheek and a plump lip and you are good to go. We’d recreate this first of
all with our Fake Bake The Face, our premium Anti-Ageing Self Tan Lotion, which
has our own patented, proven skincare benefits and is great to use at this time
of year, when your summer sun kissed glow has taken its annual vacation!
For that contoured
look, we love our Fake Bake Beauty Bronzer and matching Kabuki Brush, to
dust over everywhere the sun might go, without the damage. It has a super-fine
formula that makes it really buildable, without a hint of orange or
glitter.
Lastly, the lips!
Forget needles, just go for our Fake Bake Lip Inflate, our own Collagen
Plumping Lipgloss. Packed with peptides to plump, glycerin to hydrate our
own polymer to create that glassy finish, load it over your fave matte lip to
get that Gaga pout.
Talking of powerful
women, we’ve been collaborating with so many lately, but we thought we’d call
out a few, just for being great to work with and being super-inspirational to
us.
We are loving
Hannah Elizabeth’s strong but sassy look. Hannah was the original Love
Island girl, and her infectious humour, strength and girl’s girl
personality means Team Fake Bake have taken her to their hearts.
Ashley Louise James looks amazing in her own version of the
power shoulder, which she works with colour blocking and attitude. Model, DJ,
body realness spokesperson and TV star, she is all about speaking her truth
whilst rocking her Fake Bake professional spray tan, natch!
Our fave Stephanie
Pratt always looks spot on and while we are talking about The Hills (the
Gaga episode is Season 5, people!) we are glad she’s going to be back
with Audrina and the gang for 2019. Since the original, the girls have
all become successful and look more incredible than ever.
And finally, Aisleyne,
who’s sporting her own shoulder with the power shoulder. We’ve been working
with the Big Brother star for many seasons, and since the show she has
gone on to be an author, property developer and entrepreneur in her own right.
Are we proud of her? Hell, yeah!
It’s that time of year
when we all start to feel a little meh. It’s been a long time since summer, a
while until Christmas, we all feel like hibernating and our beauty routines can
get a bit lost. But pick a date with your besties, go and watch two people fall
in love, all over again, and forget about going in jeans. Give it your best
style effort, and if your power shoulders block the view of everyone behind
you, tell them to get with the Gaga programme. Plus, you can sneak in a
bit of extra popcorn in those trouser pockets. Not that you got that tip from
us.
Get your tan on, your
girls out, and remember, when it comes to this look, the only orange allowable
is on your lips. As you were.
