The Makeover Issue

The Dazzler: Octavia Spencer

She swept the supporting actress category from the Globes to the Oscars to Bafta for her portrayal of Minny in The Help. Stepping out to accept all those honors, Spencer was on a fashion roll as well. What a difference the right dress makes: Gowns that emphasize her waist and provide support up top—like the beaded Tadashi Shoji beauty she wore to receive her Oscar—heralded her newfound sizzle.

HER BEAUTY UPGRADES
HAIR Gone are the severe styles of yesterday. In their place? A slenderizing cocktail of height at the crown and softness around the face.

MAKEUP Spencer has nailed the movie star trifecta: smoky eyes, nude lips, and skin that glows as if it’s lit from within by a thousand tiny klieg lights.
