ACX 2010 Florence and the Machine Shows Off her Shoes and Lipstick Backstage


Florence Welch of Florence And The Machine generously fit time in her hectic schedule (she literally walked off the plane and came straight to venue, missing her initial interview time slot) for KROQ’s joq Stryker to interview her in her dressing room last night. Which meant, amongst other things, we got a sneak-peek at her enviable wardrobe.


With Stryker on her right, the red-haired chanteuse sat right next to her exploding suitcase, jammed full of impressive garments, including the billowy chiffon number she floated around in on stage tonight and fancy footwear, and showed us some highlights. Our biggest crush? Her Gold studded Louboutins that would make any fashionista blush/cream/smolder.

Other fun beauty secret from backstage? Florence collects lipsticks at the airport, “little luxuries that keep you going.” (Stryker was so mesmerized, he even tried some on.) While she’s ethereal onstage, with her angelic voice and soul-lifting song writing, off stage Florence is down to earth, modest, and unabashedly girlie off stage. It’s a delightful combination.



As for news (thank god we were able to pay attention while salivating at those studded heels): What has Florence and The Machine been up to? Ms. Welch recently performed at the Nobel Piece Prize Concert, along with Elvis Costello and other musicians. Her set, consisting of a 60-piece orchestra and 20 strong choir, “made me want to do orchestral gigs in the future.” Mark your calendars and wear your best shoes for that one, folks.
