Twilight actor Nikki Reed opted for this chic and sophisticated look for the Young Hollywood party.
We love the way she has effortlessly woven style and comfort together. With the winter season at its peak, we think this look will keep you warm and looking chic, anywhere and at any time!
Hair & Make-up
To get this look heat-free, if you don’t already have naturally wavy or curly hair, French braid damp hair in two-inch wide sections before you go to bed. When you wake up, take the braids out and gently tousle your hair with your fingers (do not brush). Finish with a light hair spray, and you’re good to go! Light make-up and a natural look is what Nikki Reed opted for, and looked absolutely fabulous. Pale glossy lips, thick lashes using Rimmel mascara and a Body Shop Glow Enhancer will do the trick for you. With a tiny amount of effort, you will get the flawless hair and makeup look you’ve been aiming for!
Outfit
Just because its cold doesn’t mean your clothes have to be purely functional and unflattering. This winter outfit idea will have you looking chic all season long. Black and white paired together is a classic combination that never gets old. Embrace this fresh take on a timeless basic and grab this seasonal must-have blazer from Mango (Rs9,990). It’s a closet essential you don’t want to compromise on. The basic black skinny jeans which you can easily grab from Zainab Market for a price under Rs1000 will give your look the perfect fusion of feminine and edgy. Black skinny jeans have been ubiquitous for a decade, worn by everyone and by the looks of it there is no sign of these are going off the fashion radar.
Shoes and accessories
Nikki’s glammed up her casual outfit with a pair of black T-strap heels, however for shorter people, we suggest smart pumps with less detail. This will lengthen your legs and give you some height. For accessories, the star has gone minimal, except for a plain silver cuff bracelet and silver band rings, easily available from Accessorize, or if you want a cheaper option, we suggest a buyer’s paradise, Sunday Bazaar!
