Sweeping her bangs to the side for a fresh take on her crop, the actress limited her makeup to red lipstick and strong eyebrows. "She was a dream to work with," said beauty guru Kate Lee, who created the look. "Because her dress was so magnificent, we wanted her makeup to appear effortless." Lee lightly groomed the actress's brows with a pencil, then set them with a swipe of black mascara.
