The beauty look Pat McGrath and Guido Palau created for Dior was breathtaking. In this video interview Guido Palau said the hair look was inspired by Jean Seaberg, Janet Leigh and iconic actresses of today like Anne Hathaway.

Makeup artist Pat McGrath did a stunning red jeweled mouths on all the models which must have taken hours to do. As she explains, “the girls were coming out of a garden and Raf said he wanted the girls to look like flowers in a modern way.  We did a shimmer on top of the eyes.  Really it was about the burnt orange, pinks and rose colored encrusted mouths“. The Dior show was beyond beautiful as actress Jessica Alba admitted after the show “it was beautiful, sexy and modern”.

Backstage at the shoot Mila explained why she wanted to work with the house of Dior for a second season.

What attracted me to Dior I think was the idea of being a part of a lineage that is so admired and looked up to,” she said. “They’re very consistant with their designs; you see a Dior dress, you know it’s a Dior dress. They’re very classic, very consistent, really elegant and really beautiful.

The 28-year-old also adores photographer Mario Sorrenti, who shot her for the campaign – which was styled by Carine Roitfeld.

Mario is one of the best photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, ever,” she said. “There’s a sense that’s very organic, and he captures really beautiful moments. He’s an amazing photographer.

They recently named Bill Gaytten the creative director of the Galliano brand.

John Galliano’s shoes are not easy to fill.
