If you live in the UK, or you're a fan of Formula One racing, you know all about Tamara Ecclestone. The socialite, It girl and racing heiress is a mainstay in British magazines and tabloids.
While she's currently making headlines for her pregnancy style, we met Ecclestone at the US launch of her first baby: the ultra glamorous hairstyling line, Show Beauty. The products are pricey, but even if you can't afford to vacation on a yacht in Ibiza like Ecclestone, you can splurge on a dry shampoo. Our favorite is the Show Beauty Decadence Hair Fragrance -- a sweet, feminine scent in a gorgeous glass bottle.
Ecclestone could spend her life flitting from one party to the next, but she chose to become a beauty entrepreneur, and we learned a few other things about this It girl that make us think she's surprisingly down to Earth.
1)
TB: Who are your style icons?
TE: Bridget Bardot and Sophia Loren. I admire naturally beautiful, chic iconic women.
2)
TB: Who are your hair icons?
TE: I love big glamorous hair. Eva Longoria does amazing up dos.
3)
TB: What's the oldest thing in your closet?
TE: Probably a really old pair of pajamas I can't bear to part with. When it comes to pajamas, the older the better.
4)
TB: What's your getting-ready-to-go-out ritual?
TE: First I plan my outfit, then I take a lovely, long relaxing bath. I follow my bath with a blow dry, lots of Show Beauty hair spray and make-up.

TE: Clinique CC Cream, MAC Bronzer, Clinique Chubby Stick and Nars Blusher.
