Her dress was inspired by a photograph of Marilyn Monroe who was all “covered with roses”. But it was my least favorite number of the evening, with its bustier rosette details and bride-like train that seemed to evoke Bridezillas gone awry. But I cannot argue that her makeup was gorgeous.So, we’ll work with that…

The makeup was done by Dior’s International Makeup Advisor, Shane Paish, who said that the “inspiration for the beauty look was English Rose who vacations in Paris.”

He used Rouge Dior Lipsticks in Celebrity Red, and Creme de Rose; applied DiorShow Unlimited Mascara on her lashes; and used the Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Incognito for her lids. He capped off the look by using DiorBlush in A Touch of Blush.

And naturally, which Dior fan doens’t know about DiorSkin Airflash Spray Foundation and the Dior L’Or de Vie La Creme?

I loved the hair of the show, done by Teddy Charles for Frederic Fekkai. As you can see from the pictures below, the hair was all about texture and volume. The way Charles achieved this was to spray Fekkai Tousled Wave Spray and then roll it to make the hair piecey. Messy tendrils saved the hair day; Then he used Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray and completed the look with the Fekkai Au Natural Dry Shampoo to create a matte finish.

The yellow nails were a stroke of genius because the clothes were so understated yet elegant; the brighter color gave the look a jolt of brilliance.
