Julianne Moore Newest Bulgari Brand Ambassador

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Timepieces / Watches

In what is actually a highly anticipated ad campaign, Julianne Moore will soon debut as Bulgari's new leading lady. The popular Hollywood actress will be working closely with the well-known watch and jewelry brand (who actually produce quite a few other times as well) in a variety of planned advertising campaigns. The first of which will be the "Eccentric Charisma" campaign where Moore models nude or otherwise promoting the Bulgari Serpenti line among others. One series of images has the actress wearing an 115 carats of Colombian emeralds. These are in the form of a pair of earrings (that look like that have the power to pull ear lobes to the floor) See images of the earrings as well as a teaser video to the campaign here.

The award winning actress will likely help stimulate the brand that is need of such vitalization. As for me, I don't know what Moore is promoting for Bulgari in the above image, but strangely I want one... One of the new collections that Moore will be modeling are the Bulgari Serpenti collection items that I previously discussed here. The Serpenti collection is themed on snakes and scales. Adding an a degree of Egyptian exoticism to the watch, jewelry, and other accessory items. Bulgari touts the new collection as a return to the design aesthetic that made the brand famous to begin with. Plus, the connection with leading beautiful women of the world (such as the always charming and attractive Julianne Moore - the image here reminds me of Boogie Nights, I wonder why...) is a strong tactic in reaffirming the Bulgari brand as a beautiful brand, instead of just an opulent or trendy brand that has become more Bulgari's image as of late. Look for the "Eccentric Charisma" ads to appear beginning in February 2010.

Julianne Moore Fronts New Bvlgari Campaign

I've always envied pale redheads and their ability to look so showstopping in green. I think my envy just hit a new level with a look at the Colombian emerald pendant earrings that are being worn by Julianne Moore in Bvlgari's Spring/Summer 2010 advertising campaign. The earrings feature detachable Colombian pear-shaped emeralds, weighing 52.86 and 62.32 carats. The emeralds are exceptional for their size, uniform color and perfect match. They were part of Bvlgari's first retrospective exhibition at Il Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from May through September 2009.

The campaign, scheduled to debut in February 2010, depicts a lifestyle that they are calling Eccentric Charisma. Each image features items from several of Bvlgari's jewelry, watches and accessories collections. Moore was chosen for her combination of beauty, intelligence and confidence. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot photographed the campaign at Tony Duquette's Dawnridge house in Beverly Hills. Moore is shown lounging about in an exotic and opulent salon decorated in rich brocades, sumptuous jewel tone satins and plush peacock feathers. Check out a sneak peek video after the jump.

Julianne Moore In New York City, Estate of the Day

Lovely and pale redhead Julianne Moore could probably have no better showcase for her beauty than the cool gray walls of her New York townhouse. The New York Observer's Manhattan Transfers reports that the actress is selling his six bedroom townhouse in New York City's West Village. The home with the red door was built in the late 1800s and has five floors. It has been renovated in a modern style that still allows room for the home's old bones to show.

The garden level has a large eat-in kitchen at the rear of the house and French doors in the kitchen lead directly to a fully-landscaped garden. The parlor floor is given over to two parlors, front and back, one overlooking the street and one overlooking the garden. The third floor is a full-floor master bedroom suite with French doors overlooking the garden. The front room has been made into a massive spa-like bath dominated by a huge tub sitting parallel to a large fireplace. The fourth floor is currently in use as the children's quarters and the fifth floor is a home office and a large media room. Moore paid $3.5 million for the home in 2003 but she has listed it for $11.995 million. It's a charming home but a relatively narrow one with many floors and no elevator in sight.
