As we first posted about a few weeks ago, Isabel has lent her support to the Rose D’or Festival this year. The festival took place this week, and Isabel was in attendance for the opening and closing events. Last weekend she cut the ribbon to announce the opening of the festival, and wore a typically pretty hippy style cream dress and trademark headband for the event. Further down this post is an article on the festival’s opening. And then on Thursday she was back in attendance for the closing day’s Awards Night, at which she presented Jeremy Clarkson the Lifetime Achievement award for his show Top Gear.
During her time there, Isabel also did an interview for a Swiss publication, and posed for some photos for them. Therefore we have a couple of new photoshoot pictures! She posed in her hotel, and against a backdrop of the mountains with her sister. In the interview (which I will post here asap as soon as I can translate it properly), she said that she likes vegemite with cheese, prefers cows to kangaroos, and admits that she has never seen Ayers Rock in person!
It’s great to see Isabel back in her native Switzerland! Enjoy all the new photos in our Gallery…

Apologies for the delay, but I have now caught up on all candids from this past week! As we know, in between her visits to Switzerland (see post above), Isabel spent a couple of days in New York City for the Met Ball. She was snapped out and about in the City during her time there, and looked her usual adorable self (check out her cute, sly smiles in a few photos!). FYI: the book Isabel is carrying on May 8th is called ‘Aurian’ by Maggie Furey.
As well as 3 days worth of candids, I’ve also added more photos from the Met Ball (finally, I found more!), including 3 pretty HQs and some really great shots of Isabel with the Proenza Schouler boys.
Thanks to Lindsey and Jessica for some of these photos.

Well Isabel did make an appearance at the Costume Institute Gala last night, but it was a rather low-key one. I have searched all over the web today, and all I can find are two photos from the event, which you can now view in our Gallery. Her Proenza Schouler outfit was a beautiful and unique peacock coloured short dress, which she paired with boots and a loose up-do hairstyle. It certainly doesn’t compare to her stunning Louis Vuitton dress last year, but I think Isabel looks really pretty here (love the hair and make-up), and the colour looks good on her.
It’s strange how her appearance was so low-key and not really talked about, especially given her rising style icon status. I have read a rumour that the design team were not interested in being seen with her, which – if true – is a shame.
Still, despite the disappointing lack of buzz surrounding her appearance, we can still enjoy the two pictures we do have … 
As we previously reported, Isabel will be attending the Met Ball in New York City tonight, where she will be the date of design label Proenza Schouler. After last years spectacular Lous Vuitton coral gown and trend-setting headpiece, I am very excited to see what she will wear this year!
This year, for the first time, the red carpet arrivals are being streamed online for fans to watch, and you can try to catch a glimpse of Isabel by watching the stream between 6:30pm and 8:30pm EDT (US) by clicking the link below.
We will have photos and any tidbits etc. from the big event for you tomorrow

THEY seemed a match made in vegan heaven, but we hear Aussie singer Angus Stone and Isabel Lucas have split.
Stone is believed to have recently moved out of the Byron Bay home he once shared with the 27-year-old actress and is now living at a nearby residence in the northern NSW beach town.
The break-up is only fresh, says a source close to Stone, who was last seen publicly with Lucas late last year.
The split comes just a week after the popular muso released his second solo single Bird On The Buffalo and credited Lucas for inspiring his upcoming album Broken Brights.
“She has really shined a light on a whole new part of me,” Stone said of Lucas, who appears in the song’s film clip.
The two began dating in 2010. Stone, 25, refused to comment yesterday.
Stone has also gone solo musically, splitting with his sister Julia Stone with whom he found success in Australia and the UK thanks to their hit, Big Jet Plane.
Hello Isabel fans! Over the last few days I’ve been adding a ton of photos to the Gallery, most of which are pics from various categories that I’ve had lying around on my computer for a while. The main new addition is the rest of the photos I have from the Immortals premiere – I meant to add these at the time, but they kind of got lost amidst other things! So we have a lot of new photos – normal sized and HQ – from the premiere, plus the after party photos have been replaced with HQ versions. There’s some gorgeous shots in there. Many of the ASOS Sydney Launch event photos from 2011, and New York Fashion Week 2012 photos, have been replaced with HQs too.
What else is notably new in there? Various other albums have had photos replaced with HQ versions, including the TV Week Logie Awards from 2006, and the 2006 Film Ink Awards which include some cute shots with Chris Hemsworth. Screencaps from the Human Rights Film Festival have been added, as have caps from the short behind the scenes video for ‘Bird On The Buffalo’. There’s also a gorgeous new unknown photoshoot, of Isabel (and Angus in one shot, I think?) posing in what looks to be a nature reserve or forest of sorts – beautiful and natural!

Isabel will be attending the Costume Institute Gala (Met Ball) again this year! You won’t have forgotten her stunning coral Louis Vuitton gown and headpiece from last years event. She will again be walking the red carpet at the big event, held this year on May 7th. Off the top of my head, I don’t remember Isabel having worn Proenza Schouler before, so we will be in for an extra treat seeing how she wears them.
It’s Met Ball season again! This means that designers will start “revealing” their dates — usually a model, actress, or model-slash-actress selected by a designer to personally clothe and then pose with on the red carpet. So far, the only major designer/celebrity pairing we know of is Joseph Altuzarra and Lana Del Rey, but there will surely be many more announcements as the date approaches (May 7!). Today we learned that Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez will escort Australian actress Isabel Lucas, according to a Proenza Schouler rep. Their designers’ date to last year’s gala was Kristen Stewart, a fitting match as she’d just worn their clothes for her February 2011 Vogue cover.
Isabel’s stunning look in Angus Stone’s new music video seems to be taking the fashion world by storm, and now Elle.com have an interview with the video’s stylist, Imogene Barron. It gives us a great insight into the making of the video and Isabel’s fashion sense.
Isabel Lucas, Chanel & Wolves for Angus Stone
Beauty abounds in the new music video for Angus Stone’s “Bird on the Buffalo.” Besides the music—charming, chugging neo-folk from the Australian singer-songwriter—both the background (the video was shot on location at Joshua Tree National Park) and the babe (actress Isabel Lucas, Stone’s real life girlfriend) are true stunners. But what really caught our attention was the clothing, which includes everything from fringed leather jackets and vintage embroidered dresses to lacy Chanel cruise gowns. “It makes your job a lot easier when you’ve got great designers involved,” admits the video’s stylist, Imogene Barron, who added, “It’s really nice that designers have started to support music videos, because they do reach such a larger audience. It’s nice to have another avenue than just editorial and to see the way [the clothing] moves and the way it fits. So I’m really happy that designers are now getting on board with the music side of things.”
ELLE: This music video takes place in the desert and features everything from wide shots of untouched sand dunes to flying owls. How did that translate into something with a high fashion bend?
Imogene Barron: One of my best friends, [designer] Jessie Hill, is the director, and I know Angus and Isabel as well, so it was a family vibe—which is nice to work from. The director and I had a bit of a conversation about it and I looked at mood boards and the treatment and obviously, being Isabel, thought, Let’s push it in the fashion department, because she carries clothing so well and is absolutely stunning. So it kind of went from there, taking inspiration from what the concept is and moving forward. I was definitely given free reign. The only brief I was given, in terms of direction of styling, is that the video takes you on a journey.ELLE: Let’s talk about the outfits that take Lucas’ character on her journey.
IB: She’s actually wearing a little Lover camisole and shorts in the bed scene, which you can’t really see as much. And then she’s a “real girl” and she’s outside in a little vintage dress and Isabel Marant boots—it’s an achievable look. And then she morphs into this beautiful goddess and we really took it up with the Chanel, which looks amazing on her. The headpiece that she’s wearing with it is custom-made by a French label, MellaSan, and we also had the little necklace with an owl custom made by Tiger Frame.ELLE: Was the Chanel dress a no-brainer?
IB: I definitely think having Chanel in there was perfect, because the collection reflected what we were trying to achieve. As soon as I saw that collection I thought, We have to get Isabel into that. All the colors of that collection just work so well in the desert setting. So I went to the Chanel cruise collection and there were probably two or three pieces that could have worked, but the combination of the fabrics and the dress work really, really well.ELLE: Where did you find that white, lace-collar vintage dress?
IB: That’s actually one of Isabel’s dresses! She has an amazing collection of vintage dresses. I wanted to evolve her a bit from being her regular self, but I definitely [also] wanted to reflect her personal style. If I’m working with people I like I often use a bit of their personal belongings, especially when you’re working closely with someone and it’s nice to have an element of them in there. I really wanted that look to be: she’s a regular girl, she’s walking down the street. I didn’t want to put her in anything too evening; I wanted her to feel a bit more raw and organic. Originally we were looking at a couple of other designer options, but everything felt a little too…I wanted the Chanel to really stand out.ELLE: Did Isabel keep anything from the shoot?
IB: I don’t think so, no. I think that designer might have been making her another headpiece. I’m sure she would have loved to keep the Chanel dress, but unfortunately she had to return that. As would we all, especially if you looked like that!- Elle.com
Angus Stone is officially the pilot of his own big jet plane. Despite finding fame as one half of sibling duo Angus & Julia Stone, the Byron Bay-based singer-songwriter has gone solo.
Speaking to Insider, Angus Stone explains his new album, Broken Brights (to be released in June), has been a long time in the making and he drew special inspiration from his girlfriend, actress Isabel Lucas.
“I’ve always been collecting songs and have written along the way for something like this,” Stone, 25, says of stepping out from his older sister Julia.
“We’ve both gone down different roads now and we’re exploring this side of music.”
For Stone, originally from Newport on Sydney’s northern beaches, Broken Brights is an album inspired by Lucas – a relationship that blossomed after they travelled through Redwood National Park in the US.
“She has really shined a light on a whole new part of me,” Stone says. “That (trip) presents the whole inspiration for the album. Swimming in the rivers, being amongst all that amazing power from the trees, falling in love and having it all just unfold.
“We spent our time getting to know each other for the first time at that place.”
Isabel has again shown her support to the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival, by appearing in a video promoting their 2012 festival. It’s a typically creative clip, in which we see Isabel paint numerous positive words on herself in a variety of colours. It’s a really lovely video. I’ve also posted the HRAFF trailer at the bottom of this post – it doesn’t feature Miss Lucas, but it does show you clips from the films which will be showing at the festival, which was quite interesting.
The photo I posted here alongside an article about the Rose D’Or Festival is in fact actually a promotional for the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival. Isabel is wearing one of her favourite labels in the clip – Lucy Lane Vintage – and they blogged about her recent work for them and the HRAFF earlier this month:
Whilst we have been moving, another special lady has been doing some promoting of her own for LLV. The ever so gorgeous Isabel Lucas has been wearing her LLV treasures with the latest being a 30 min clip for the Human Rights and Art Film Festival wearing a lilac Daisy May dress. Once I have a copy of this clip I will be sharing it with you all. Watch out on Facebook as I will be posting some Daisy May dresses online at bargain prices. Isabel has been doing some amazing things for LLV so we thank you immensly.
I love how supportive Isabel is of such a variety of causes, as well as local designers.
Isabel appeared in a promotional video for this festival in 2010, too.
