Kelly Rutherford Reveals Her Beauty Secrets and Thoughts on 'Gossip Girl' Style
Kelly Rutherford is embracing her minimalist style over a decade after "Gossip Girl" first aired. Her character Lily van der Woodsen's sophisticated aesthetic continues to resonate today.
Embracing Understated Elegance
Rutherford, known for her love of simplicity and elegance, recently launched a fragrance with Veronique Gabai called Rose Première. This perfume is characterized by notes of mandarin, bergamot, musk, and rose, embodying what she describes as the "divine feminine."
The inspiration for this perfume came from visiting Grasse, France, where Rutherford personally picked roses early in the morning.
Beauty Favorites
Apart from fragrance, Rutherford enjoys using Merit’s The Minimalist Complexion Stick and French drugstore items like Avène’s Haute Protection Tinted Compact. She appreciates this product for its dual function of providing sunscreen and tint during summer.
She also praised products from Pamela Anderson’s Sonsie skincare line, especially the lip balm she carries while traveling.
Luxury and Fashion Influence
Despite favoring affordable beauty staples, Rutherford remains a fan of high-end fashion brands like Hermès. Her personal collection contributed to "Gossip Girl" due to the show's challenges in sourcing luxury items at the time.
Many years later, Rutherford still finds relevance in her character's iconic outfits from the show, attributing them to the timeless nature of fashion.
"Fashion is one of those beautiful things that just keeps evolving as you do," she remarked about keeping her style relevant over the years.
