Two years after her Oscar win and triumph at the Venice Film Festival 2023, Emma Stone returned to the banks of the Lido Canal with the horror film Bugonia. Far from the shocking shaved look of her earlier work, the La La Land star appeared with a side-parted pixie haircut, a seamless fusion of the sleek, elegant lines of a bob and the playful, untamed spirit of a pixie in a trendy coppery reddish-brown reminiscent of the ’90s. Her textured layers, growing to the nape of her neck, framed her delicate facial features with effortless movement.

On a dewy foundation, Emma accentuated her eyes in green tones and groomed brows, while a nude lip provided a fresh yet luxurious finish, understated but radiant.

Complementing her elegant low bun, the Argentinian WAG entrusted her look to Vietnamese-origin makeup maestro Patrick Ta. Studying Georgina Rodríguez’s bone structure in detail, he blended soft yet defined contours with baking techniques, creating a face that was both dramatic and luminous. Smoky brown shades swept across her eyelids and sockets deepened her gaze, while her cheeks were given a tender flush of pink, coral-orange and rosy red. The pièce de résistance: plump, glossy lips, perfectly simulating a filler effect.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s honey-toned complexion was given a mirror-like, plumped finish with Giorgio Armani’s rich Luminous Silk foundation and liquid highlighter on her cheekbones and temples. Bronzed contours defined her bone structure, while apricot blush radiated warmth and softness, reminiscent of the morning sun. Her eyes shimmered with champagne tones, accented by a gray-brown hue at the corners. Long lashes and sharply defined brows lent a romantic yet commanding presence. The focal point remained her nude lips in a smooth satin finish, underscoring the timeless elegance of the U40 model.

Against the silky finish of Luminous Silk foundation, fan-shaped lashes and sparkling white powder at the eye corners, her look blossomed into a lyrical, cinematic moment amid the heart of Italy.
