DIOR ROUGE ON STAGE PRESENTED BY JENNA ORTEGA: THE POWER OF THE RED LIP

words by NATALIE GAL

The red lip…where to start? It's probably the longest-running fashion statement of modernity. Classic Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor wore it on the red carpet; Frida Kahlo painted it into her self-portraits as a symbol of strength; Madonna turned it into a mark of rebellion; and Taylor Swift made it her signature — so much so, we can hardly imagine her without it. Even Cleopatra is said to have stained her lips red 5,000 years ago.

Red lipstick has made its way through human history, never fading or falling out of favor. It carries symbolism — confidence, sensuality, chic power. Almost every woman has tried it at 16, with more maybe misses than hits. But it’s about finding your shade, your texture — and I truly believe there’s a red lipstick for everyone.

Now, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, introduces a bold new silhouette: Rouge Dior On Stage. Featuring a reverse CD logo, this lipstick is striking and fresh — as any good red should be. The formula is long-lasting, richly pigmented, and luminous. It blends creamy texture and hydration with zero smudge, thanks to a unique mix of nourishing oils. While the deep red is the star, Rouge Dior On Stage is also available in two rosy nude shades. Ultimately, Dior's makeup ambassador Jenna Ortega perfectly captures the femme fatale energy of the collection — confident, captivating, and unapologetic in her femininity — a modern woman.
