MAKE-UP & SKIN: The Oscars 2014: Best After-Party Beauty

Best After-Party Beauty

Whilst the Oscars red carpet showcased lots of classic beauty looks and a mostly nude colour palette, behind the closed doors of the after-parties more experimental looks came out to play. From Rita Ora’s navy and yellow eye make-up to Gaga’s glitter bomb shadow and Zooey Deschanel’s bouncy curls, take a look at our favourite beauty looks from the Oscars after-hours… 

Rita Ora's Style : MakeUp :)

Rita Ora is the next face of Superga

ELLE is proud to break the news this morning that Rita Ora will be the next face of hip trainer brand Superga, taking over from Alexa Chung who was the figurehead this year.

Rita has captured many a fashion fan’s heart with her never-ending parade of runway ready looks, Marilyn-esque ‘do and perfect retro red lips. Whether she is styling out baggy pants for daytime or looking jaw-dropping on the red carpet, Rita never puts a fashion foot wrong, which is why she’s a perfect fit for the Italian brand.

ELLE spoke exclusively to the Brit star on the campaign shoot which is taking place today. Rita said; 'I love being comfortable and I live in flats. Superga trainers are like a bluprint that every girl should have in her wardrobe because you can go as glamorous as you like but still be cool and comfortable. For me that's the perfect mix.'

There will still be a wait to see the campaign images, but rest assured that ELLE will be the first to bring you the news in early 2013.

Celebrity Style Files: Rita Ora

With her trademark Hitchcock-blonde waves, siren red lipstick, and grunge meets hip hop wardrobe, Rita Ora is the chart topper who draws just as many comparisons to Marilyn Monroe as she does Salt 'n' Pepa.

Fun and fearless, her 90s infused love of colour-popping prints, body con, hi-tops and denim is just as statement-inducing as her Jessica Rabbit-style red carpet appearances where she favours dramatic, curve-enhancing floor length gowns.

Never one to go under the radar with her sartorial choices, the Kosovon-born, West London-raised singer who is signed to Jay-Z’s record label, Roc Nation, is certainly a style inspiration. Check out her most memorable outfits here…
