This news article about todays starlets appreciating 1950′s style has just popped up, featuring a new quote from our Izzy. I don’t know where the quote came from but nevertheless, read on:

1950s Hollywood style appeals to today’s starlets

Fashion is coming full circle with red-carpet starlets ready to embrace the flared skirts, longer hemlines and loads of red lipstick coming their way in the new year. They’re looks that give a wink to Hollywood’s glamorous heyday of the 1950s, and stars far too young to find these styles old are eager to bring them back.

Eva Longoria is into the trend she calls “flirty.”

“I think of great hair,” Longoria said. “The great falls and the red lipstick, and definitely the full skirts. I think it’s flirty. The ’50s are flirty.”

Visions of Americana pop into Isabel Lucas’s head: “I think of the iconic all-American girl with the small waist dresses, and ‘Grease’ with the little ribbons around their neck.”

Maybe she just saw photos of Miuccia Prada’s spring collection, which revved up its runway with inspiration from vintage cars.

We’re at the end of another year, and it’s been a good one for Isabel, and her fans! While remaining typically low key, she has attended several events, filmed a movie or two as well as seeing the release of a couple of projects, and continued to dedicate time to her chosen causes. And then, of course, there was the Immortals hype and promotion running through the year, that culminated in a massive promotional blast and the release of the film itself in the latter part of this year. Continuing our trend of Year In Review posts, for the 3rd year running we take a look back on Isabel’s year and celebrate her continuing rise in Hollywood!

Isabel Lucas Online would like to wish our lovely visitors, as well as Izzy and her family and loved ones, a very Merry Christmas! We hope your holidays are filled with lovely presents, yummy food, loved ones and most of all, lots of Christmas joy!

With all the success Isabel has been having recently, and the fact that she’s gaining new fans here, there and everywhere, I thought it would be nice to do something to celebrate her birthday, so I have put together a Birthday Project! The idea is that you send in your birthday wishes, whether they be messages, graphics, videos, poems, etc. to wish Isabel a happy birthday. And on top of that, knowing Isabel’s passion for her charities, we thought it would be nice if those who wanted to also made a donation to their chosen charity in honour of Isabel.

Head on over to our special Birthday Project pages to read more. The pretty layout there was made for us by Celyn.

Her birthday is not for almost 2 months, so you have a while to think about what you might like to submit and to put it together to send in. (Which is why this project has been opened quite early!). I hope you like this idea and take part in it … I can’t wait to see your submissions!

Isabel Lucas says Freida Pinto is a “talented actress”.

Isabel is currently starring in Immortals alongside Freida.

The film follows Theseus – a mortal man chosen by Zeus to lead the fight against the ruthless King Hyperion. Isabel plays Athena the goddess of wisdom in the movie.

Freida portrays priestess Phaedra and Isabel was full of praise for her co-star’s performance.

“Freida’s a really lovely, warm, free girl,” she told the December edition of UK Glamour magazine. “[She is a] beautiful spirit and a talented actress as well.”

Australian actress Isabel started working as an actress on Australian TV show Home and Away. She got her first big break in the 2009 film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. However the 26-year-old is finding adjusting to Hollywood life a little difficult.

“I do enjoy L.A. when I’m there. But it always feels very transitional for me and I really was there for work,” she explained. “Plus my boyfriend [musician Angus Stone] lives in Australia, so there are a lot of ties. But I’ll be flying back to L.A. constantly.”

Immortals is released worldwide this month.

Aussie Vogue have posted a small preview of their upcoming December issue cover feature with Isabel, including the first 2 photos! Read the short intro article and see those photos either at their site, or below and in our Gallery:

African Adventure With Isabel…

12,000 kilometers. 250kgs of luggage. Three planes, each decreasing in size, and ten intrepid travellers all added up to a truly epic adventure for the Vogue Australia team.

Inspired by the tribal motifs in the recent international resort collections, fashion director Naomi Smith wanted to capture the true heart of Africa. Who better to accompany us on our travels than nature-loving Isabel Lucas?

After completing her latest art-house movie Loft in Belgium, the free spirited actress relished the opportunity to be out in the wilds of Africa.

It was her fourth visit to the continent, a place she feels very connected with and inspired by. And while many other actresses may have shuddered at the thought of wild meerkats, Lucas delighted in having them climb all over her.

The team spent long hot dusty days shooting the latest collections against the vast savannah backdrop, watched over by passing wildebeest, ostriches and the occasional distant zebra.

Then as the African sun dipped, we headed back to the supremely elegant San Camp. Set on the very edge of the unforgiving Kalahari desert and cut off from all outside communications, the camp nonetheless provided every luxury, the same comforts enjoyed by rumoured recent royal visitors. However a moonlit walk accompanied by a guard on the look out for lions is a reminder that there is only one true star of this story: the majesty of Africa.

Whilst doing a quick search for Izzy on Twitter earlier today, I came across this fantastic new photo of her, tweeted by @CovetComm! There’s no information on when or where it was taken, but based on the background, I wouldn’t be surprised if this photo was taken during Isabel’s African photoshoot for Aussie Vogue. We’ll have to wait and see I guess!

Covet Communications, the Twitter that posted the photo, is a “multi-facital style house that specializes in the public relations and sales of fine jewelry designers”. The tweet and Facebook entry tells us about the jewllery Isabel is wearing in the photo.

Read the tweet and find the Facebook source link below, and I’ve added the photo into our Gallery with credit to CovetComm.

Musician Santigold, who took part in the SOTSK Mount Kilimanjaro climb with Isabel in 2010, mentioned Isabel in a recent interview with Aussie magazine/website NWOnline.com – she had some very nice things to say about Izzy!

Are you going to catch up anyone while you’re here?
Well, I have one really good friend from Australia who I love – you know Isabel Lucas? We climbed Kilimanjaro together.

We were going to ask you about that – it was for charity?
Yeah, we shared a tent. It was to raise awareness about clean water and we went with Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, a lot of people. And then we filmed a documentary. But Isabel was my tent mate, and I love her. She’s the best girl.

What was she like?
She is the sweetest, most wonderful tree-hugging lady and I love her. She could totally get down and talk shit and be hilarious. And she was a trouper – she got food poisoning on the last climbing day, but she made it to the top anyway. But it’s sad, she left Australia a couple of days before I arrived.
