Anne Hathaway: Nars lips and large specs at Rio premiere

There are two things I love about these red carpet photos of Anne Hathaway at premiere of the highly anticipated movie Rio.

One is Anne's new specs. Not only that she is wearing glasses on a red carpet, I especially love the frame's look, shape and lens size.

It's kinda old school geek, early 1990s large-ish frames, with a modern twist.

I had a pair of sorta similar specs in the 90s - they were considered very cool way back then. Then something happened - all frames took on that rectangular-framed look.

I wear specs daily - a gorgeous gold-rimmed Dior pair with teeny jewels on the arms. I love them. But I've been wanting to upgrade for a while. I spied a new Alex Perry for Specsavers pair I love, sporting this new shape. So I am loving Anne's tortoiseshell number.

The second thing I love about this pic is Anne's lips.

Specifically, her lip colour. A little snooping has revealed it is the handiwork of cult makeup brand Nars; Nars worked with Anne Hathaway’s makeup artist Molly Stern, who played up her eyes and kept her lips nude with the aid of new Summer 2011 products Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, and Mayflower Lipstick.

“The new Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil is the perfect apricot nude, with a dash of baby pink,” said Molly about Anne’s lip colour. “We wanted to keep it balanced, but fun and fresh. We were listening to Patti Smith while getting ready – so we incorporated a bit of a rock ‘n roll edge!”

For beauty addicts, here is what else Molly used: Nars Copacabana Illuminator (which is new for Spring 2011) and NARS Sex Appeal Blush. On the eyes, Nars Daphne Eyeshadow, Nars Exotic Dance Duo Eyeshadow (new for Summer 2011, Nars Coconut Grove Eyeshadow, and Nars Larger Than Life Volumising Mascara.
