Lipstick is also reappearing in stronger reds and playful pinks.

Accessories are becoming ever more important in the game of celebrity beauty. Oversized sunglasses and bold hairstyles or headbands are always in the mix. To make a statement, celebrities turn to diamond and crystal encrusted hairpins, a favorite of Audrey Hepburn. Large fishnet style designer bags are another popular choice for the A-list. For a more down to earth look, there’s the slouchy hobo bag or a tote with interesting fabrics and subtle embellishments throughout.
