It should never be a bad day when one of my favourites, Winona Ryder, is featured. Winona was out last night in New York to support her friend Marc Jacobs at the Marc Jacobs Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara launch. As previously reported (click here for a refresher), Winona is the new face of Marc Jacobs Beauty for 2016. Marc posted this photo on Instagram last month:


 

It is with great pride (and pleasure) that I 'leak' this image from our upcoming 2016 MARC JACOBS BEAUTY campaign. Photographed here by David Sims and styled by Katie @kegrand, it stars my dear friend (of over two and a half decades), the stunningly beautiful and extraordinarily talented, Winona Ryder. Mesmerized by this image and her look- created by Diane @diane.kendal (using our fine liner eye crayon, velvet noir mascara and new nudes lipstick) and hair by Guido @guidopalau I am reminded of one of my all time favorite films: The Last Year at Marienbad. The flawless cool, elegant and timeless chic of actress Delphine Seyrig has long been a reference of mine. The force of the surreal calm, and painstaking fetishistic polish of this film and its heroine are truly 'ON FLEEK' and continues to inspire me to date. No one I know could exude the adjectives I've listed as perfectly as Winona does... She does not model the look she gets into the role- and exudes it! A brilliant mind, talent, and physical beauty like no other, I am delighted to share this image of Winona with my IG fans and followers today. I'll follow this post with a few more MJ/WR images from our past- To see more of the campaign, stay tuned! #4everwinona #marcbeauty

God I love her face so much.

And she looked so beautiful and warm last night, comfortable – which is not her usual condition at these events – and in good company, including her boyfriend Scott Hahn.

Winona is a Pig, born in 1971. Professionally it’s looking like a solid year for Pigs. That makes sense because it was just announced that her show, Stranger Things, premieres on Netflix in July. Stranger Things is being called an homage to the 80s. Um. Hi. I’m in.

For Pigs though, the Year of the Monkey, might bring some love Drama. I’ll have more when the Pig sign is profiled. Reminder: the 12 Days of Chinese New Year begins this coming Friday.
