Lily Allen cleans up WELL for Chanel! Lily ditched the horrendous troll-esque hair to become the new poster child for Chanel's new handbag line. In the pictures recently revealed, Allen has been styled head to toe in Chanel for an Audrey Hepburn inspired look for the up incoming Chanel Coco Cocoon handbag line. These luxury sportswear bags are set to launch in October. Who ever saw that one coming?? Apparently Lily was hand-picked by none other than Karl Lagerfeld himself. When asked why he used Allen, WWD reported Lagerfeld laughed and merely said “She’s fun!”
Unlike myself, Elle UK is not as taken aback, they commented that Lagerfeld’s recent pick was not surprising; she’s “always front row at shows and barely leaves home without one of her Chanel bags.” Hmm… since when was she sporting luxury handbags with the pink hair?
My opinion?—they finally realized that Keira Knightley and Nicole Kidman won’t exactly attract the demographic they’re looking for. Last campaign featured Jerry Hall . But it seems to me like Lagerfeld is taking a bit of a risk, considering some of Lily’s past antics (i.e. condoning drug use, bashing Christianity as well as her OWN record label.) Good thing he didn’t hire her as a spokes model! Hopefully she’ll just keep her mouth shut and stay looking this chic. I’m just wondering why he chose her in the first place—shock factor, new marketing scheme, or she was just in desperate need of a makeover?? You be the judge!
Wow.. Cant believe that the pictures above are even remotely the same woman! What is inteeresting is how different the pictures really look. All glamed up versus naturasl day to day life!
ReplyDeleteThis just goes to show not only that makeovers can be drastic, but I think it proves a point as to how celebs are always looked at.
We always harp on what they really look like, like the first picture. And then we admire the done up looks!
It leaves the question, why do we put such an emphasis on what the famous people look like?
