Actress and model Olga Kurylenko to date have achieved impressive success in world cinema. Our expert Alexander Vasilyev believes that this played a role and right chosen outfits.

“Olga was born in Berdyansk, at the age of 16 moved to Paris and became a fashion model. And then began to actively act in films. After reviewing an impressive list of movies with her participation, I see that she mostly plays negative characters — spies, high-class thieves, vampires. And this is no accident. The fact that in Hollywood there is a persistent idea that she is a native of the former USSR is not a priori to be a positive character. She is beautiful, sexy, smart, but she is a dangerous woman. And I would say that Kurylenko perfectly embodies this image. Very interesting, mysterious appearance, wherein the second bottom. Her charm can be called negative — attractive, but with the spice and taste of vinegar. She chose the right niche. It is this type today and in demand. Otherwise she wouldn’t have acted in such an impressive number of films in the West. And her wardrobe supports this image. She’s not into bright colors. All her stuff is mostly muted palette — bright and pastel. There are, of course, black and red. But there is nothing bright yellow, green, blue. Most importantly, looking at her, you know: this woman knows her worth. Many of our compatriots somehow think that you can come to Hollywood to quickly conquer it and leave. It does not happen. Here is an example of Svetlana Khodchenkova: she starred in two Hollywood films and all. Here is another case: Olga Kurylenko youth painstakingly building his career in the West. She has two marriages that have helped her. The first with photographer Cedric van Mol — to obtain French citizenship, the second with entrepreneur Damian Gabriel, too, probably, something gave.

Now Olga has a son with a British journalist, writer max Beniam. He can also give her the necessary advice, to help with the communications. What is the secret of success Olga? That she learned several languages, was able to put down roots. And model past helped. She knows how to present themselves. Able to work with photographers. And to choose the right wardrobe.”

Insidious Queen of clubs

“Beautiful image. I like the subtext: behind the mask of attraction is something else. It’s a good feeling in this outfit “Queen of clubs”. The woman is treacherous, from which we can expect any. Here is a Prime example of how the actress expertly creates an interesting character with a negative charisma”.

Wrong background

“But this dress Olga’s wearing is not advised. I do believe that bright colors (especially red and yellow) on a white background, few people go. Such background is rarely withstands the contrast of colors. The same poppies and daisies would look good on black, dark blue, dark green”.

“Kurylenko wide cheekbones, Slavic face shape, but there are Asian roots. In the context of her gray eyes it feels good. In addition, she refutes the stereotypical view of the Slavic beauty. She’s not blonde, and brown hair. I really like some of her hairstyles. Look, the long hair, but they are so elegantly laid wave that make her a star, not just a girl who just got out of the shower and not had time to comb my hair”.
