News about Clara Bow

Taylor Swift fans have been hard work since the release of The Tortured Poets Department earlier last week - with some figuring out dates that she recorded tracks off the album. The Bad Blood songstress, 34 - whose latest LP is prepared to shatter her own sales record - also recently gave insight into the meanings behind a few tracks on the 11th studio album, such as Fortnight and Clara Bow. Earlier last year during breaks in her sold-out Eras Tour, the Grammy winner stopped by Electric Lady Studios in NYC. Unbeknownst to fans at the time, she had been recording songs for her new album.

Taylor Swift revealed some of the inspirations behind The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), which has broke multiple records on Spotify and other music streaming platforms. In a special, track-by-track experience, available to stream on Amazon Music, the 34-year-old pop star provided some insight to her latest record as she recalled some of her muses and mindset during the creation process. Following her 11th album's release on Friday, the 14-time Grammy winner described  TTPD as 'anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure.' 'This period of the author's life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up,' she told her fans. 'There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted.'

Clara Bow's descendants have praised Taylor Swift for her 'hauntingly beautiful' new song about the silent film queen. One of the reigning movie stars of the 1920s, Clara is perhaps best known for her 1927 movie It, which popularized the term 'It girl.' However in the 1930s, she became a lightning rod for scandal when her secretary publicly aired out details about her love life and accused her of drunkenness.

Clara Bow was a silent movie Hollywood actress from the Roaring Twenties, known as much for her private life of debauchery as much as her career. Swifties are speculating that the the pop sensation's album has been inspired by her, as the 16th song from The Tortured Poets Department is named after the sensational Hollywood beauty. Lyrics from the song Clara Bow's first verse read: 'You look like Clara Bow in this light, remarkable. All your life, did you know you'd be picked like a rose?' Bow went on to become the most famous woman of her generation thanks to her stellar acting talent and dramatic personal life - not dissimilar to Swift, whose critics accuse the star of leveraging her prolific love life for personal gain.

Clara Bow is perhaps more accurate in describing the Roaring Twenties than Clara Bow. The silent movie actress became the most popular woman of her generation thanks to her stellar acting skills and raucous personal life. The flapper was a sex symbol of the Gatsby-era, but history has shone her away.

Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department's track list debuted earlier this week, with one song named after the silent film star Clara Bow. Brittany Grace Bell, one of the late actress's relatives, spoke out about the special occasion and told TMZ that the family is thrilled that her 'name will live on.' The Love Story songstress, 34, released the complete 17 song track list for the album on Tuesday, which will be released later this year on April 19.

Beauty styles are gradually revived from the past, whether it's the 2000s with "romcom core," the 1990s with brown lip liner, or the 1970s with the fluffy, Farrah Fawcett-style hair. That said, it's much less common for trends from a hundred years ago to make a comeback, but that's just what's going for the "bow lips" makeup trend. For background, actress Clara Bow and Marlene Dietrich, who appeared in the 1920s and '30s, were ambassadors of doll-like lips. Celebrities of that time all exaggerated their cupid's bow for a sharper glance. Since then, lip liner (and lip contours in general) have undergone quite a makeover. The trend has been to overdraw lips for the last ten years, with many hacks, such as Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic's "lip flip" method (aka Makeup By Mario), popping up everywhere in 2022. However, "bow lips" are a drastic contrast to that.

As she stepped out in New York City on Sunday evening, Margot Robbie dazzled in a chic jacket. As she was escorted to her awaiting vehicle, the Wolf of Wall Street actress, 32, flashed a jolly smile for the cameras and followers crowding around her. The beauty is gearing up for the debut of Babylon, her latest film, which premieres later this month, where she plays a character based on Hollywood actress Clara Bow.

Her styles are provocatively low-cut, her drinking is dangerously out of control, and her cocaine intake is, well, copious. No decadent party is complete without her dancing on a table, men are falling at her feet, and she is unashamed of her sex obsession. You might imagine that this seems to be an utterly modern celebrity wild child. Not quite: Meet Clara Bow, the principal inspiration for Margot Robbie's role in the highly awaited new film Babylon, which captures the essence of an age of unbridled decadence and depravity in 1920s Hollywood. Robbie's character, Nellie LaRoy, an unhinged and convention-flouting actress, is largely based on the scandalous Clara, Hollywood's original It-girl and the first sex symbol of the silver screen's silent period.

Margot Robbie appears in Babylon's new all-star ensemble cast, as well as Brad Pitt. And to celebrate, the 32-year-old beauty displayed her very toned tummy when she posed in black for the cover of Vanity Fair. In a wide-ranging interview, she said she loved playing Nellie LaRoy, who is based on Clara Bow, because she had to be free. Robbie joked, "I don't have a whole lot of modesty left." When it's Nellie doing something, I don't get worried.' If it was me, I'd be embarrassed, but it's still her.'

TOM LEONARD: Elinor Glyn, a novelist, invented the 'It Girl,' and is often credited with inventing the Hollywood sex scene. Despite the fact that her later life resembled one of her books' more improvable plots, Glyn - author Hilary Hallett of Inventing The It Girl - began as a respected member of the Home Counties landed gentry who was largely insecure about her passionless Edwardian marriage, expressing a great deal of sexual apprehension.
