We love her subtle shimmering eyeshadow paired with statement hot pink lips for an edgy and feminine alternative.

If you have long hair then curl your locks and then tuck them under the top sections of the rest of your hair for a faux bob style. Go for statement matte lipstick but keep the rest of your make-up to a bare minimum to let the colour really pop.

Stick to neutral and pale pink shades – contouring may be too heavy for this look but if you want to enhance your features, strobing makes for a great alternative. If you want to go for a touch of extra glamour, add a slick of black eyeliner.

Part your hair down the middle and then separate the top sections. Take the left top section and braid, then repeat on the right side. Next, sweep the two plaits and the rest of your hair into a bun. Pair with smokey eye make-up for ultimate evening glamour.
