You Have To See Chrissy Teigen's Beauty Evolution
Over the past few years, Chrissy Teigen has quickly become our fantasy BFF — thanks to a series of down AF moves that highlight her chill. She’s photographed monster-biting into In-N-Out burgers at stuffy after-parties. She nerds out over cheese wheels. She Instagrams her stretch marks. And guess what? Her beauty M.O. is just as real. Teigen loves her some extensions — and she isn’t afraid to talk about it.

But here’s what really gets us: When we see the Thai-American supermodel on the red carpet, it’s her smile and charisma — not necessarily her hair and makeup — that we notice first. She wears the trends (from graphic liner to strobed cheekbones and even faux bangs), but never the other way around.

The supermodel radiates in peachy makeup that subtly references her dress without looking too matchy-matchy. The easy center-part in her free-flowing hair underscores the easy, romantic look.

It’s a tried-and-true red carpet rule: Red lipstick pops against a yellow dress. (See Jennifer Lopez at this year’s Golden Globes.) Teigen’s textured lob adds to the playful look.

Lots of celebs do slicked-back hair on the red carpet. But we’re especially coveting Teigen’s take at the 2013 Academy Awards. Instead of sporting a severe, stick-straight finish, her style maintains volume at the roots and falls into a cascade of curls. Swoon.
