Clarins Icons: a red carpet of Los Angeles glamour

The Clarins Beauty Icons red carpet brought a wall of Los Angeles star power to the Academy Museum — a night I covered end to end, from arrivals to the last portrait. Down the carpet: Alessandra Ambrosio, Justin Long and Kate Bosworth, Brooks Nader, Shanina Shaik, Bailee Madison, Brianne Howey, Jamie Chung, Jeannie Mai, Amber Stevens West, Jesse Metcalfe and Helene Immel, and Kathryn Newton.

Clarins built the night around its beauty icons on the Academy Museum rooftop overlooking the Los Angeles skyline, the whole space washed in the house's signature red. Every arrival was photographed against the branding and the gallery went back while the night was still trending — portraits the PR and social teams could post that night and pull into campaigns after.

Coverage was edited and delivered press-ready for the brand's PR and social teams on a same-cycle timeline. Planning a red carpet, premiere, or brand activation in Los Angeles? Tell me about your event, or see more red-carpet and brand coverage.
