It may only be the beginning of October but supermodel Kate Moss and music legend Elton John are already stepping into the holiday spirit by teaming up their talents for an incredibly glamorous Christmas beauty campaign.
Kate, 49, and Elton, 76, take center stage in a dazzling new video ad for beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury, which has been shared exclusively with DailyMail.com and sees the supermodel showing off her assets while dancing around in a skimpy red dress – while the Rocket Man singer plays his hit song Step Into Christmas.
Completing the Christmas party set-up are model Jourdann Dunn, actress Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, and Japanese singer Rina Sawayama – as well as beauty brand founder Charlotte and her nieces Sofia and Bella.
While the ladies are all clad in festive finery, Elton brings a pop of color in the form of a glitzy blue suit – complete with his trademark matching spectacles – as he tickles the ivories in dynamic fashion.
Throughout the video, which has been released to celebrate the launch of Charlotte’s new holiday collection, the women sway and dance to the music, before the clip grinds to a slow-mo shot of Kate, who declares: ‘It’s magic’ before the pace picks up once again.
As well as the video, the group also posed for a series of stunning campaign images in which they highlight key pieces from the new Christmas collection – which includes a limited-edition range of Rock Lips Lipsticks and a Rock Star bag inspired by Elton’s ‘iconic ’70s outfits’.
The new collection, which hit shelves today, October 4, was created in partnership with Elton’s Rocket Fund AIDS foundation, with beauty brand founder Charlotte revealing that she hopes the products will help to ‘shine a light on’ the group’s ‘mission to end AIDS everywhere’ while ‘spreading a message of love, joy, and acceptance’.
Speaking about the campaign, Elton expressed his excitement at teaming up with Charlotte, while praising her for helping to shed light on his foundation’s work.
‘Charlotte and I share the belief that everyone should feel safe and inspired to be their authentic selves,’ he said in a statement shared with DailyMail.com.
‘With her inclusive brand committed to helping everyone, everywhere be more confident and empowered, Charlotte Tilbury is the perfect partner for The Rocket Fund.
‘I had so much fun stepping into beauty magic and working with Charlotte and her muses to bring this fabulous campaign to life.
‘When you get people coming together like this, it’s like an express train! This campaign is certainly going to bring the sparkle, joy and glamour this holiday season, all while supporting my foundation’s life-saving work.
‘We have the tools to end HIV and AIDS – it’s the stigma that’s holding us back. And I can’t thank Charlotte enough for using her holiday campaign to shine a light on The Rocket Fund.’
Meanwhile Kate – a longtime friend of Elton and Charlotte – hailed the Candle in the Wind singer as an ‘inspiration’, while revealing a very unique bond that the three of them share.
‘I’m so proud to be a part of this campaign to send a message of love and joy to everyone,’ she shared.
‘I’ve always been so inspired by Elton’s incredible work with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, it has made such a difference to reducing the stigma around HIV and AIDS.
‘A few years ago, I worked with [artist] Chris Levine to create a portrait for a charity auction in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation – Charlotte actually bought the portrait and it now hangs just outside her magical office!
‘It’s so important to use our voices to drive positive change and support causes close to our hearts.’
Accompanying the video is a series of incredibly glitzy images – one of which shows Elton surrounded by his bevy of stunning co-stars.
Another photo shows the powerful trio – Elton, Kate, and Charlotte – embracing as they give their camera their most stunning pout.
Speaking about the inspiration for the campaign, beauty mogul Charlotte paid tribute to her longtime friendship with Elton, describing him as a ‘national treasure’ and the ‘ultimate renaissance man’.
‘Darlings, the secret is out! I can finally reveal that my dear friend, the music legend and one of life’s true visionaries, Elton John is joining me to celebrate my favorite time of year in style in my new holiday campaign,’ she said.
‘Elton has been a huge inspiration to me my entire life! He is a national treasure, the ultimate renaissance man, a polymath, a musical genius adored by generations, a true creative, champion of the arts and of course a fashion icon.’
Charlotte then looked back at some of the most memorable moments from throughout their friendship, recalling a night in June 2022 when she and Kate went to watch Elton perform together, revealing that the singer ended up ‘serenading’ the supermodel with one of his most iconic songs.
‘We have shared so many magical moments together over the years, from the iconic Vogue Party Special issue in December 2002 to when I went to watch him perform with our gorgeous friend Kate at Vicarage Road,’ she said.
‘I remember being so mesmerized backstage on that magical night – Elton was pretty much singing Tiny Dancer directly to Kate Moss!
‘I remember seeing the sunglasses, the sparkle, the joy… and that’s when it became crystal clear to me that we had to join forces and create the most magical campaign of the year – because just like makeup, music has the power to change your frequency.
‘It can morph your mood, change your mindset and bring joy into people’s lives…’
Charlotte and Elton also showed off their bond as they posed side by side with the makeup icon pretending to kiss his cheek.
The singer held up one of the brand’s best-selling items – the Magic Cream – which retails from $30 to $100, and helps to ‘transform the appearance of tired, dull skin for a glowing, dewy, plumper-looking canvas.’
In another snap, the singer posed solo and held up the cream as he flashed his pearly whites towards the camera.
Kate also decided to opt for a solo shot as she was snapped with the new Rock Lips Lipstick, which retails for $38, in hand.
The lipstick is now available in two show-stopping shades, Rocket Girl, which is a cool, nude-toned pink, and Ready for Lust, which is a deep, berry red.
Both shades will, according to the brand, make ‘you feel and look like a star’.
It’s made with the brand’s Matte Revolution formula and is infused with tree extract to help soften your lips and give your pout a hydrated look.
‘3D Glowing Pigments create the illusion of lit-from-within lips and a blend of oils, waxes, and vitamin E add extra glide and comfort,’ said Charlotte.
In another photo, the models and the makeup mogul boasted their stunning figures and glowing skin as they posed on life-size lipstick bottles while surrounded by disco balls.
They showed off their radiant complexion that comes from the Pillow Talk Blush and Glow Kit, Charlotte’s Superstar Glow Kit, and Charlotte’s iconic Filmstar Bronze & Glow.
The products, which are now available in travel-sizes and kits as a part of the holiday collection, will give you a glow so bright it will make the flash of a camera seem dull.
The Pillow Talk Blush And Glow Kit is a limited-edition duo set that features minis of the ‘best-selling TikTok sensation Beauty Light Wand in shade Pinkgasm and Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk Matte.’
It is now available and retails for $32.
Charlotte’s Superstar Glow Kit, which retails for $32, gives you the magical glow of the Beauty Light Wand in the shade Pinkgasm and the Beauty Light Wand in the shade Spotlight.
Lastly, inspired by Charlotte’s iconic Filmstar Bronze & Glow, the brand new pocket-size blush & highlighter palette is ‘perfect for the gifting season!’
The mini gold compact holds a high-shine bubblegum pink blush and Charlotte’s Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter.
It’s available in two shades: Light/medium and tan/deep and retails for $29.
In other snaps, the models posed alongside their favorite holiday item, with Kate and other beauties reaching for the new Beautyverse Palette.
