Women Of Color Slayed The Red Carpet Last Night — Here are Our Three Favorite Looks

Lupita Nyong’o

Nyong'o, nominated for her role as Nakia in Black Panther, turned heads in her vibrant, cobalt blue look. “I wanted the makeup to feel fun and be a modern take on the 80s with contrasting colors on eyes and lips by playing with electric blue liner, lashes and deep ruby lips,” says celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose, who added colored lashes to give the look an extra pop. It perfectly complemented her halo-like coiff and reminds us that blue and red together is always a good idea. PS: Want to achieve cobalt mascara at home? Check out our how-to.

Constance Wu

Actress Constance Wu, acclaimed for her role in Crazy Rich Asians, rocked a nude feminine mani that flawlessly matched her aura red-carpet royalty. “We began by filing Constance’s nails into an almond shape for a soft, feminine look,” says celebrity manicurist Steph Stone. “When it came to choosing a color, she decided to play off her neutral, fairy-tale inspired dress by wearing an opaque nude, and we ultimately landed on essie’s wild nude, a light tan as the perfect match.” Wu’s elegant, neutral look was truly a mani fit for a queen.
