Diana Ross gets supremely carried away - with the make-up brush

Supremes' legend Diana 'call me Miss' Ross is rarely seen in public looking less than her glamorous best.

And on this occasion she almost achieved it - were it not for the garish make-up she plastered on.

Miss Ross managed to pile on a veritable symphony of clashing colours onto her face, rendering her carefully chosen outfit redundant, as it faded into the background due to the overpowering maquillage.

Diva disaster: Supremes' legend Diana Ross almost looked her usual glamorous self - until she plastered on a symphony of garishly coloured make-up

The music world's biggest diva was in attendance at the launch of jewellery house Tiffany's Blue Book in New York on Saturday.

And fittingly the 63-year-old star wore a gorgeous azure blue full-length Grecian style gown.

However, the look was ruined by her purple eyeshadow, blended red and purple blush, heavily kohled eyes, and bright red lipstick slathered on over stage-strength panstick foundation.

Clowning around: Maybe Diana didn't get the memo the Tiffany party wasn't Halloween themed

And instead of oohs and ahhs for a typically glamorous red-carpet look, it was her scarily bright, coloured make-up which caught the eye - or rather - assaulted the eye.

Maybe Supremes' legend Diana Ross didn't get the memo and somehow thought the event called for a Halloween related theme.

Whatever the reason for the make-up mishap, in the words of one of her classic tunes with top 60s girl group The Supremes, it's clear she needs to 'Stop, in the name of love'!.

Overkill: The 63-year-old Miss Ross wore stage-strength panstick make-up, and a riot of colours
