Madison's Editor Lizzie Renkert joins the 30 Days of Fashion & Beauty expert panel to answer all your style conundrums!
Whose beauty style do you admire?
I love Audrey Hepburn’s style. She never got her fashion or beauty choices wrong, working on the theory that less is more. She was elegant, chic and timeless.
What are your top tips for looking stylish (but not OTT) at a drinks party?
Choose one standout feature for the night. If you’re wearing a red lip, keep the rest of your make-up simple. If you’re wearing an over-the-top dress, keep hair and make-up relatively casual. If you’re showing a lot of leg, don’t show a lot of anything else.
The one item you would save from your wardrobe in a fire?
I don’t have much jewellery but I have some beautiful vintage pieces left to me by my grandmother’s. I would save them above anything else. Fashion is whimsical, but it can also be very sentimental.
Item in the fashion cupboard you’re most reluctant to return?
I borrowed a beautiful pair of Gucci heels for a Madison event a few weeks ago and it hurt me to return them the next day. They were elegant and comfortable, even though the heels are sky-high.
Describe your skincare regime?
I’m obsessive when it comes to skincare. I cleanse, scrub, moisturise, lather my skin in anti-ageing serums and I’m a fan of rejuvenating light treatments to give me a glow that’s becoming more difficult to achieve now that I’m in my mid-30s.
Coats. I have dozens and dozens of jackets, coats and blazers, many of them vintage. I’ve been collecting them for years and they’re the one item that I never recycle.
