From Cleopatra to Ava Gardner to Christina Aguilera, confident women have been wearing red lips for centuries.

"In old days, women used to use a beet to get the color," says Carola Myers, a professional makeup artist and consultant. "They'd smash it, or berries, and apply it with their fingers."

Matte lipstick

Your evening lipstick shade can also be bolder than your daytime lipstick shade. While the hottest runway looks involve wearing a fiery orange red lip colour, most of us aren't even close to looking like Audrey Hepburn or Ava Gardner; so it's best to go with a strong matte lipstick peach or pink. (lipstick, not lip gloss). The key to great looking lips is a lipstick that's satiny, a silky look that's not too dewy and not too matte.

Post 3527 - Very dramatic looking picture. Script, do you know if Ava received only one Oscar nomination? I would think with her presence on screen she had more then one.

In Britain, leopard-print became co-opted by nouveau riche northern trophy wives who gave it a bad reputation - despite the best efforts of designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Mrs Beckham's favourite, Roberto Cavalli, who regularly use it in their collections.

But I don't think of Bet Lynch when I hear 'leopard' and 'print'. I think of iconic Hollywood sex bombs such as Ava Gardner or Jane Russell, and Seventies disco sirens like Jerry Hall and Marie Helvin. After all, in one of her most famous photos, Ava Gardner is shown posing in a leopard print bathing suit that is not fit for swimming in.

Ladies who wear leopard prints should be shrewd and capable of making big men swoon. "It takes a very confident and self-assured woman to wear a leopard print dress," says designer David Meister, who was just added to the board of the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America. "A pair of sick leopard shoes or scarf with a great black dress is easier to pull off." If you can't channel Ava Gardner or vamp like Kate Moss, don't fret. Prada, Charles David and Tod's are all showing spotted shoes for fall. If you do decide to wear leopard print, think of Ava gliding through a Hollywood party, with all eyes on her. She would own the leopard print dress she was wearing and so can you!

Conspicuously flaunting the goods is so passe, so why not indulge in a less obvious form of seduction. Channel your inner Ava Gardner and add a saucy animal print to your ensemble. Want to invest in an animal print dress that you will wear for years and years to come? The brand new Roberto Cavalli Leopard Print Dress is purrrfect. This knee-length, halter wonder is slinky and sexy, yet completely classy-something that Ava definitely would approve of.

Crow, thank you for noticing my pics. Ava only had one Oscar nod, for "Mogambo". She and Frank were nominated the same year. He won.

For over 60 years we’ve seen spots before our eyes. Christian Dior first created a chiffon African gown in 1947 and during the 1950s Ava Gardner, Jayne Mansfield and Natalie Wood were all photographed wearing anything with leopard print – bathing costumes, trousers and dresses.
