Margot Robbie Dazzles With a Surprising Makeup Shade in London
Last night at the UK premiere of Mary, Queen of Scots, Margot Robbie put her own fairytale spin on lady-in-red-glamour. The 28-year-old actress's Rodarte sweetheart gown may have been white, accented with polka dots and embellished rose embroidery at the waist, but above the neck she donned bolts of head-swiveling crimson on the eyes and lips that set onlookers' hearts aflutter as she swanned down the red carpet alongside her co-star Saoirse Ronan.
Equal parts festive and fitting for the regal occasion, makeup artist Pati Dubroff blended a saturated wash of scarlet pigment into the lids, diffusing it out towards the brow bone to gradient effect, with a matching, light-catching coat of iridescent glitter pressed on top. A stamp of cherry red lipstick on the lips, as well as a swirl of rosy rouge on the cheeks, drove the monochrome color story home.
But the arresting beauty didn't end there. Upping the ante, hairstylist Bryce Scarlett sculpted her chest-grazing blonde lengths into luminous, side-swept pin curls that recalled retro screen siren Veronica Lake. An appropriately vivid look to celebrate her turn as the ruby-haired monarch, her latest appearance was a reminder that Robbie isn't just a chameleon on-screen. The simple fact is, Robbie can always be relied upon for a well-calculated—if not impossibly glamorous—beauty risk.
