Jennifer Aniston

Hair: To get Jennifer's laidback vibe, prep your hair by spritzing texture spray through. Add a touch of heat protecting products and then blow dry your locks into a sleek and straight style, but leave the ends to dry naturally – this look works best if left slightly undone.

Eyes: Bold black eyeliner teamed with mascara for dramatic volume was Jennifer's choice for the evening – to soften the look like the actress, add a hint of shimmering metallic eyeshadow.

Lips: Nude lips are a major trend this season, but if you're not a fan of the matte look then take a leaf out of the Friends star's book and add a slick of nude lipgloss for a high shine finish.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Hair: Rosie looked as flawless as ever with her slicked back do. To get the look, you may want to work with slightly damp hair. Start by brushing it back into a ponytail, ensuring the roots are super smooth. Take the ponytail and wrap it around into a bun, securing with a hair tie – add grips if you need extra support. Spritz hairspray to keep it in place – if you spot any flyaways, use a clean toothbrush with a dash of hairspray on it to smooth over.

Eyes: To get Rosie's striking eyeliner look, start from the inner corner of your eye and use a liquid eyeliner to draw a line outwards, following the lash line to begin with and then slowly moving away towards the eyelid. Fill in the gap with your liner.

Lips: We love the British beauty's simple yet elegant make-up look – opt for pale pink shimmering shades of lipstick to recreate her style.

Alicia Vikander

Hair: The Danish Girl star gave us major hair envy with her effortlessly glamorous updo. Simply sweep your hair up into a high bun, and then, using your fingers, add texture through the roots to give it a laidback feel – this is also a great chic daytime look.

Eyes: Winged eyeliner is a beauty classic for a reason, but to get Alicia's old Hollywood feel, try pairing it with nude eyeshadow.

Lips: If you don't want to rock a statement lip but still want to add a pop of colour, then follow in Alicia's footsteps and rock a matte pale pink lip - add matching pale pink blusher to get the star's fresh-faced finish.

Liv Tyler

Hair: Embrace your natural wavy hair and leave it worn down in tumbling curls, all swept to the side for ultimate old Hollywood style.

Eyes: Smokey eye make-up is a red carpet classic, and we love Liv's softer take on the trend. Her barely-there shimmering silver eyeshadow makes for a subtle yet striking look – ditch the eyeliner and stick to voluminous lashes instead.

Lips: There's nothing like red lips to make a beauty statement, but if you're after a softer look try more of a berry shade like Liv. Add a coat of lipgloss to give it that extra 'wow' factor.

Rachel McAdams

Hair: Rachel proved that short hair doesn't have to be tricky to style – simply leave down in loose, tousled waves and sweep into a dramatic side parting for instant glamour.

Eyes: Take note from The Notebook star and choose eyeshadow that complements your lipstick, going a few shades lighter. Add a touch of liner and then false lashes (or volumising mascara) to complete the look.

Lips: Channel your vampy side like Rachel by opting for dark berry hued lipstick, teamed with a slick of lipgloss for a bold statement. If you're not keen on lipgloss, try a matte lipstick shade instead – it can be equally as eye-catching.
