Face of Fashion - Evan Rachel Wood
Is actress Evan Rachel Wood making a play for Dita Von Teese's crown as Queen of Old School Glamour? It would certainly seem that way. The 19-year old ex-girlfriend of Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell (she has a tiny 'j' tattooed on her lower leg as a lasting memory from their brief relationship) has perfected the 40's-reminiscent make-up that the Burlesque star wears as her trademark, appearing on many a red carpet all coiffed hair, flick-eyed and red-lipped. She's also got a wardrobe full 0f semi-prim, semi-fetish clothes and accessories that Ms. Von Teese would be proud to own, from the vamp-a-licious gowns to the towering patent heels to the belted and oh-so-proper mac. What's more, she's only gone and snared herself Dita's shock rocker ex-husband Marilyn Manson (and has caused quite a stir into the bargain, considering the 19 year age gap and the erotic opening to Manson's latest video featuring the young starlet). But don't be so quick to pass Evan off as a Dita-Clone - with singing credits in her next film Across the Universe, a campaign for Miu Miu under her belt and a passion for creativity (from poetry to painting to fashion) that means she is constantly growing in a late-adolescent effort to "find herself", we expect big things from this old soul glamour-puss.
