FASHION CHRONICLES

Modern ballerina beauty look is so on point a little less clean girl, a litle more Swan Lake.

From Barbie-core to ballet flats, pretty-in-pink has been the reigning hue of this Autumn ‘pale, and beauty is once again, no exception.

Despite associating her Euphoria character Cassie more with Y2K, baby blue and not-sotearproof make-up than armfuls of blush tulle, Sydney Sweeney´s 11th Annual LACMA Art + Film Gala red carpet look this weekend was nothing short of pristine pink. The White Lotus actor debuted a new iteration of this season’s rose-toned beauty palette, a graceful and infinitely feminine look that we’re dubbing ‘The Modern Ballerina’.

For Sweeney’s whimsical dance-inspired look, make-up artist Melissa Hernandez matched clustered faux lashes with an eye-widening white pencil across the waterline. Pared back with powder perfect skin, a pastel lid-to-cheek flush and barely-there gloss, it’s safe to say the doll eyes have it on this occasion.

Hairstylist Glen Coco Oropeza completed the prima ballerina ensemble with an elegant side-swept bun, finished with a flawless mirror-worthy shine. A girly twist on the the sleek, side-combed buns sported at Max Mara and Adam Lippes, not only is this clean knot in keeping with Autumn’s return of ribbons and ballet pumps, it effortlessly echoes our predictions for2023 hautest hair trends.

Even Sweeney’s tights nailed the ballerina dress code, perfectly matching her ruffled rose Giambattista Valli Couture dress. And what ballerina beauty look could be truly complete without a delicate ballet slipper nail?
