Glorious Goodwood Revival
Vintage make-up, scent & style tips
Who else is off to Goodwood Revival this weekend, that ultimate festival of vintage fashion that I’m told also features a few motors?
I’ll be there on Friday, as will Dita Von Teese, which may prove confusing as this natural blonde totally stole my look. See this excoriating exposé in The Times, recalling a jaunt to Cannes in which no one would believe I wasn’t she who disports herself in a martini glass. Cue the headline: “One wears nipple tassels for a living, the other is Times writer Hannah Betts.” Actually, I interviewed Ms Von Teese once and she is charming: demure, impeccably mannered and unexpectedly shy.
My other former interview subjects Lisa Eldridge and David Gandy will also be entertaining the troops (there are invariably battalions of chaps in uniform). Meanwhile, I’ll have milliner-to-the-stars (Madonna, Beyoncé and Ms Teese among them) Victoria Grant on my arm. Do come and say “Hello”.
As it happens, the lovely Lisa provides one of my cosmetic tips. Read on for three perfect red lip shades to suit cool, warm and neutral undertones; scents to fit each decade; and an online cornucopia ready to whisk you eleventh-hour retro rig-outs. Plus more on Revival style…
