Nathalie Dubois Dazzles Once Again at the 2007 Golden Globes “World Experience” Gift Lounge
Nathalie Dubois put together yet another glamorous gift lounge for the 2007 Golden Globe Awards. Held at the luxurious Beverly Hilton the weekend of the show, The DPA World Style Lounge gave nominees, presenters and attendees an “Around the World” experience unlike any other.
From January 12th to the 14th, guests were invited to attend the lounge for the finest gifts from across the globe. This marked the first time the lounge has been held at the Hilton. Dubois choose the location not just for its innate Beverly Hills glamour, but because the Golden Globes are held annually at the legendary hotel, making it more than convenient for the show’s stars.

"I will be welcoming some of the Golden Globes nominees in my suite that will be perfectly tailored for the nominee’s pleasures and needs," said Nathalie, “I figured, since the stars are going to be somewhat nervous about whatever the outcome may be during the ceremony, why not sooth their senses with a ‘visit around the world’ right here at the Hilton.”
Every area of the lounge was themed with items from a specific continent. Over in the "American Dreams" area guests found several beauty and fashion gifts, starting with Nathalie’s long time participant Frederic Fekkai Salon and Spa, which will offer their latest hair product to the stars. They introduced their new Ageless collection, a revolutionary three-step regimen designed to combat the three signs of aging: biological, environmental and mechanical. The Rejuvenating Shampoo, Restructurizing Conditioner and Damage Defense Capsules work together to visibly correct the first signs of aging (dryness, damage, dullness and uneven texture) while proactively protecting hair from daily stresses that accelerate aging. www.FredericFekkai.com

Also for the guests’ coiffe, HAielite offered ceramic styling tools and ceramic hairdryers. The superior line of HAIelite Ceramic styling tools are salon developed for professionals by professionals, and were created with the most current innovations in materials and design. Using such innovations as Ceramic Fusion technology and Far-infrared heat, hair is left feeling healthier, shiner, and more manageable.
