Viktor & Rolf’s White Makeup Explained; Hair Braiding Delays Givenchy Show

MAKEUP
• In keeping with the Grecian theme, Viktor & Rolf makeup artists painted models’ faces white to resemble marble busts. [WWD]

• The packaging for Urban Decay’s new Pocket Rocket lip gloss depicts a clothed man, who, when shaken, strips down to his manties. [Racked]

HAIR
• The Givenchy show in Paris was delayed because braiding the models’ hair took longer than anticipated. Guests were told to come back half an hour after the originally planned start time. [FWD]

FRAGRANCE
• Mexican pop star Paulina Rubio launches her debut fragrance, Oro, this month. She says the “elegant floral oriental” scent is made for strong women. If the ad starring Rubio is anything to go by, these strong women wear lamé dresses that barely conceal a boob or a butt cheek. [Now Smell This]

PLASTIC SURGERY
• Blind item: “Which top model’s plastic surgeon is in big trouble? He accidentally spilled acid on her chest while they were having sex in his office.” [NYDN]
