Embrace Your Outer Pale, Oscar Edition

A couple of weeks ago, I posted an entry that discussed the Death of Tanned Skin in the fashion world. Go With Your Own Glow, the Skin Cancer Foundation's new public awareness campaign, and Simon Doonan, creative director at Barney's, partnered together and chose 5 standout celebrities who strutted down the red carpet looking lovely with their untanned skin:

1) Freida Pinto
2) Kate Winslet
3) Amy Adams
4) Teraji Henson
5) Anne Hathaway

These ladies are commendable for promoting healthy, glowing skin and showing the world that natural skin color is attractive and Oscar-worthy. As Doonan says, "[tanned] skin is very 80s porno star," and while beauty standards are always evolving, let's hope the tanned skin ideal is never revived.
