SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR UNVEILED AS FACE OF 'COPPER BLUSH'

Singer and song-writer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been announced as the face of 'Copper Blush' - the 2015 Colour of the Year as predicted by the team at leading paint brand, Dulux.

The model and mother of three dazzles in the release of a stylised film and stunning series of photography that shows her waking in the morning in a romantic boudoir discovering the Colour of the Year surrounding her and breathing warmth into the room.

 Sophie, who has become known for her stylish and exciting use of colour, beautifully embodies the warm glow of a new dawn with the 'Copper Blush' shade, as she embarks on a new chapter of her career heading back into the studio to record her 6th album.

The film begins with Sophie soaked in teal, last year's Colour of the Year, before she wakes in a nightgown and begins walking around her bedroom. As the sunlight seeps through her curtains, the copper light comes to life and reveals a unique insight into Sophie's first moments as dawn breaks and she prepares for the day ahead.

  Sophie Ellis-Bextor, comments: "Style is incredibly important to my everyday life and although people regularly comment on my vintage fashion tastes, it was really great to be part of such a lovely contemporary shoot with Dulux. Copper really is everywhere at the moment and totally on trend so it's no surprise that 'Copper Blush' is this year's Colour of the Year. The shade is full of warmth and it was a real pleasure to wake up in such a lovely bedroom."
