STARS AND LIGHTS: On Thursday evening Dior Beauty took over Below the Lights, the immersive event space in Piccadilly Circus in London, for its newly launched Addict Lip Glow.
Alexandra Daddario, Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe, Meg Bellamy and Charithra Chandran attended the all-pink-and-chrome event that was filled with numerous interactive spaces and games. They included a bubble maze with mirrored walls that changes lighting from warm to cool tones that reflected the new beauty product’s formulation; a touch-and-try section that allowed visitors to test numerous products; a beauty claw machine that let winners take home small gifts, and a bowling alley downstairs that carried on the bubblegum-pink theme.

Guests arrived in high spirits and some even had sentimental stories about their first beauty products from Dior.
“The first eye shadow I ever owned was from Dior, a gift from my mother on my 15th birthday. She had chosen two exquisite palettes, one with soft pastel shades and the other with rich browns, ensuring I had the perfect colors for any special occasion,” said Jessica Madsen, who stars in Netflix’s “Bridgerton” as Cressida Cowper.
“My mother was a former model and she’s incredibly skilled with makeup, and she taught me how to contour my eyes with a fair bit of precision. Those palettes weren’t just makeup — they were my first step into glamour, a defining moment in my journey into womanhood,” she added.
Madsen has just wrapped working on “Tidepools,” an indie coming-of-age film set against the backdrop of war, in which she plays an absent mother struggling with addiction.
She said stepping into the character was a challenge and a revelation that was “deeply exhilarating as an actor.”
English musician Flowerovlove, who is gearing up for her first show in Asia next week, made an appearance at the event wearing the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil over a lipliner. She described the combination of the two products as being “so warm that they melt on my lips.”
She remembers her first Dior beauty item being the Backstage Glow Palette. “I [still] use it as a blush and eye shadow,” she added.
Amelia Gething, the actor and writer who has starred in “Emily” and “The Spanish Princess” was right on theme at the event in her pink and red lace dress.
“I’m wearing a sparkly Dior beauty eye shadow with a beautiful Dior blush and my favorite Dior lipstick, which was actually my first beauty item from Dior. I’ve made it last as I only use it for special occasions,” she said.
Gething said she has a few secret projects in the pipeline that will all be revealed later this year.
