Last night at the premiere of her new movie Brothers, Natalie Portman was looking her usual gorgeous self. Her lips were an especially perfect shade of pink, a color that her stylist Jeanine Lobell says is Chanel Aqualumiere Lip Gloss in Hirondelle ($27), which is part of Chanel's holiday collection. If you don't have access to the limited-edition shade, though, have no fear-I've put together a bunch of similar shades so that you can get Natalie's gorgeous lip look, too.

Get the Look: Coco Avant Chanel

CasaSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:00:43 -0700

When it comes to movies, I'm a sucker for beautiful sets and stunning costumes. That's partially why I'm so excited about seeing the biopic about Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's early years, Coco Avant Chanel. Starring Audrey Tautou as well as many fabulous costumes, which were created by Catherine Leterrier, this film opens in the US in mid-September. I was so taken with the costumes that I decided to see how I could translate Leterrier's lovely creations to the home world.

Sneak Peek! Coco Before Chanel

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

You saw the movie trailer, now it's time to get up close and personal with scenes from the upcoming Coco Before Chanel. Fun fact: Keira Knightley was originally offered the role of Madame Chanel, but French actress Audrey Tatou ended up the star. But if you ask Karl, he prefered Penelope Cruz. No matter, because judging from the movie stills, Tatou is exceptional at portraying fashion's most celebrated designer. The way she wears that bowler hat, the pearls, that signature Chanel tweed is magical. I can't wait to see her come to life on-screen. A US date has yet to be announced, but the film debuts in France and Belgium Apr. 22. Get a sneak peek now.

Fab Flash: Karl Lagerfeld to Debut Silent Coco Movie

FabSugarUK — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:30:00 -0800

This week another film about Coco Chanel will be released but this time from the heart of Chanel itself. Creative director Karl Lagerfeld has created a silent movie about Coco starring model Edita Vilkeviciute as the young designer.

It will be screened on Wednesday night, along with a showing of Chanel’s Paris-Moscow pre fall ready-to-wear collection. Karl told WWD, “Today, people are ready for silent movies again, as they spend time - hours, I would say - looking at text messages and e-mails. I always loved silent movies.”

As Karl is very protective of the clothes he didn't want just anybody starring in the movie. Instead he chose from his close entourage including Brad Koenig and his bodyguard/private secretary Sébastien Jondeau. The actual workers from Chanel atelier star in the movie as Karl doesn't trust extras ("I cannot take extras. They don’t know how to touch the clothes.")

It took two days to make the mini movie and judging by the images released today it's going to be very artistic.

FABTV: Coco Avant Chanel Movie Trailer

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

After much anticipation, the first Coco Avant Chanel movie trailer starring our fabulous Fabcon, Audrey Tautou, has finally released. The preview is in French, but that doesn't mean we can't come to our own conclusions about the plot. We do know it focuses on her earlier life, growing up and the budding stages of the house of Chanel. Judging from the steamy love scenes, crazy fights, and decadent clothes, I gather this to be an amazing period romance filled with action, love, and betrayal. But that's just my opinion. The film premieres in France April 22 and a US release date is still to be decided. Enjoy!

BellaSugar's Insider Look Into Chanel, Part V: Jacques Helleu's Movie

BellaSugar — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 09:35:29 -0700

The last surprise on my Parisian Chanel Excursion was going to Chanel Corporate and meeting with their Artistic Director, Jacques Helleu. Since joining the company in 1956, he has been responsible for making all of the mini Chanel films, choosing the muses for beauty and fragrance, overseeing all packaging designs and creating the striking J12 watch.

As we sat inside the office of such a distinguished man, we watched three versions of the latest Coco Mademoiselle film, and then were treated to a question-and-answer session. Although, most of us were too timid to ask more than one question-you should have heard the way he spoke to his wife when she called.

A couple of weeks ago I showed you some behind-the-scenes footage from the one-minute movie, and here is is the final cut. It was was directed by Joe Wright who most recently directed Keira Knightley in Atonement. As you watch, notice the symbols from Coco Chanel's apartment and the perfume bottle-which is the same shape as the parameters of Place Vendome. I think you'll really appreciate how all of the details come together. Enjoy the show!

Keira Knightley's New Chanel Ads... and Movie

BellaSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:03:43 -0700

I just found some new Chanel ads starring Keira Knightley, and if she isn't the perfect modern-day face of Chanel, I don't know who would do it better!

I know that you're split on whether she's a more fitting model for Coco Mademoiselle than Kate Moss was, but you've got to admit, the girl looks amazing here. I love the soft pink lip, which makes her look very appropriate for this legendary design house, n'est-ce pas?

If the print ads inspire you, just wait-there's more coming soon! Iconique reports:

Keira Knightley will star as Coco Mademoiselle in a new PR movie for the Chanel perfume. The British actress, dressed in a red chiffon dress by Karl Lagerfeld, will play a mysterious star in a glamorous movie directed by Joe Wright.

The "PR movie" (read: advertisement that will probably be beautiful nonetheless) is due in September. What do you think of Keira here-is it hats off to her? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Coco Before Chanel: More Than Just a Fashion Flick

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I thought I had a good handle on the woman, the legend, Coco Chanel: Gabrielle, a magical seamstress, androgynous, smoker. Little did I know when I sat down to see Coco Before Chanel that I was going to embark on an emotional roller coaster - beautiful, deep, tear-inducing.

Naturally, a big part of the film is the wardrobe, but don't go expecting extravagance. Remember, this is Coco before Chanel, when she would make hats at home and sew her clothes out of her lover's closet. Menswear influences - bow-ties, vests, bowler hats - are major players. Pearls and tweed came much later; perhaps there should be a sequel, Coco After Chanel.
