The actress, who is renowned for her avant-garde sense of style, wore Swarovski crystals on her face to amplify her stunning beauty look at tonight’s awards ceremony. The look was courtesy of her make-up artist Joey Choy, who she recently worked with on the shimmering green eyeshadow she rocked at the Brits earlier this month. "Seeing Jodie’s sparkly dress and jewellery, I had this idea to do crystal freckles so it comes down to do a fierce eyes to go with the freckles," Joey told Hello! Fashion.

Wearing a feathered lilac gown from Gucci, the 36-year old British actress dazzled onlookers with her OTT bejewelled ensemble. To compliment the outfit Jodie sported an equally glamorous make-up look with statement purple eyeshadow, a strong winged liner as well as the Swarovski crystals speckled on her cheeks which Joey says, "took about two hours."
"Jodie definitely loves to break the mould when it comes to red carpet looks," explained Joey, "We discussed all the way while we were developing the makeup, from colours to shapes. I enjoyed the process so much because Jodie is so open for ideas and loves to try new things."
