Not Even Public Display Of Baldness Can Remove Kate Moss From Chic Pedestal
By some rare stroke of British luck, original waif Kate Moss was born with a very superheroine-esque capability: no matter what she does, from the beautiful to the grotesque to the illegal, the act will somehow wind up looking chic. Remember, this is the girl who bent over a dirty mirror to snort crusty Peruvian paint thinner in hellaciously grungy Pete Doherty’s drug den on a grainy, shaky camera and managed to make the whole thing appear "alluring" (Slate), and “glamorous” (CNN.com). Today’s case in point? Leaving the afterparty for her new fragrance launch in Berlin the other night, the supermodel’s outwardly voluminous blonde glossy hair began to fall out. Right on the red carpet. For all to see. Pictures, and why the mishap will soon be the “thing to do” on every red carpet in the future, after the jump.
As the Daily Mail reports, Moss was on her way back to her hotel after a night of celebrating Velvet Hour, her new fragrance which presumably smells like a floral mix of baby powder, laxatives and regret, as one silky hair extension broke free and landed (in a very photo spread-worthy fashion, actually) right on the red carpet outside the party. Though Moss didn't appear to care, distracted by bouts of nose-swiping instead, a paparazzo took it upon himself to grab the fake golden locks and we expect to see the flawless token on auction sites any second. Should this have happened to say, Britney Spears or Paris Hilton last night, the hair piece would maybe rack up a decent hundred bucks or so, but this is Cocaine Kate! There might even be a few snortable crystals in the threads! We predict the bidding to begin at a few thousand euros at the very least. And in a late-night state of self-degradation, Britney may even find herself the lucky winner.
