Have you met Priyanka Chopra? Scratch that. If you read our site, you know we went wild for the Indian actress's deep side part at the Emmys. And as quick refresher, the Bollywood mega-star has moved stateside, stars in CBS's Quantico, was named one of the 100 most influential people of 2016{: rel=nofollow} by Time magazine, and will star in the Baywatch movie reboot that's coming out next May. She's everywhere, and we're not mad.
On Monday night, the actress attended PaleyFest New York 2016, and we're still picking our jaws up off the ground. For starters, the makeup look by Stephanie Brooke Barnes is absolutely everything we want for fall. It's warm and earthy without being too dull, neutral without being snooze-y, and polished but not fussy. At the center of the look is that brownish red lip—a '90s trend we've been telling you is back for the better part of the year, but is difficult to fully embrace and appreciate until you see it done perfectly IRL. If you're interested in trying a similar shade, may we suggest one of the 25 Best Dark Lipsticks we've rounded up for fall? Another one of our all-time favorites: Dolce & Gabbana The Lipstick in Chocolate.
Of course, the moody lip wouldn't work if the star's entire face wasn't so balanced. A sheer wash of apricot blush on the apples of the cheeks lends an unexpected counterpoint to the brick lips, and strong, fully-filled brows provide depth and structure. And if you look really closely, Chopra's eyes are smoldering, we're guess in a palette of plums, aubergines, and possibly even brown, like Tory Burch Eye Shadow Palette in Catch.

And then there is her hair. There's tons of it. The texture is loose, bendy, and dynamic; the color is luxe and zipped up with cinnamon flecks.
Maybe we're stating the obvious here, but after a year of Instagram beauty clones and look-alike beauty pageant finalists, we're thrilled to embrace gorgeous individuality on the red carpet. Thank you, Priyanka Chopra, for being beautiful, and for being yourself.
