We weren’t surprised when Taylor Momsen was reportedly dropped from her modeling agency after reports of uncooperativeness and diva behavior. We also weren’t shocked to see Jenny Humphrey, the ambitious teen Momsen portrays on the CW Network’s smash hit “Gossip Girl” making fewer and fewer on screen appearances this season. After a string of rumors and (not to mention) bad style, Momsen’s star seemed to be falling – at the ripe old age of 17.
Don’t get us wrong – we love a girl who can make a unique look work – but Momsen’s tattered duds and garish hair and makeup actually detracted from her otherwise beautiful face and body. We were relieved to get a tiny break from Momsen Mania, until recently. We finally caught a sneak peek of the starlet’s photos and commercials for John Galliano’s newest fragrance, Parlez-Moi d’Amour – and she looks hot! Maybe her abbreviated absence has made our hearts grow fonder – or maybe she is finally getting the message that raccoon eye-style liner and mascara are just not cute, but we’re loving her style transformation! Take a look at her apparent minimake-under, and see for yourself.
John Galliano is famous for pushing the fashion and beauty envelope – which is why his creations are favored by the edgier Hollywood set like Madonna and Gwen Stefani. Momsen seemed like a perfect spokeswoman when news first broke of the collaboration, and we are pleasantly surprised that she’s actually lost a little of her bad attitude for these beautiful ads.
Set to the backdrop of her own single, “You,” Momsen appears relatable and romantic in the Galliano commercial. Sure, she hasn’t completely lost the edginess that created her image originally, but we love that about the video. It’s a softer side of Momsen – and we think Galliano made a great choice. Now, we need to go test out this new perfume before we pass final judgment.
