With awards season in full swing, you can imagine we're starting to get a little bogged down with all the red carpets happening. The celebrities (naturally) may also start to feel the strain around this time — which is why, for smaller shows, they tend to pare down their hair and makeup looks. This was the case at the BAFTAs this weekend for just about everyone — except Léa Seydoux.
The French beauty looked regal as hell when she stepped out onto the red carpet. It wasn't like she even did anything ridiculously out-of-the-box with her makeup — she just took classic hues and gave 'em a modern twist. On her lids, Léa opted for a wash of rose-gold shadow, which drew attention to her indigo eyes. Her lips were painted red — but instead of a cherry hue, she went for a pigment with a slightly pink undertone. (For a similar look, try NARS Audacious Lipstick in Lana.) All the shades played together quite well.
Her hair was in a simple blowout that curled under at the ends, and her brows were brushed up and left a little bushy. Overall, Léa looked seriously gorgeous. It just goes to show that just because a look is classic doesn't mean it has to be snoozy.
