Maya Hawke knows how to subvert a would-be classic beauty moment. From referential-meets-modern eye makeup to forever flower crowns, the actress has a knack for adapting favored beauty cues and turning them into head-turning moments. Today at Dior, that meant a perfectly painted red lip balanced by an asymmetrical hairstyle.
On first look, focus was pulled immediately to Hawke’s crimson pout, which, when coupled with an otherwise pared-down makeup look—think brushed up brows and a simple swipe of mascara—made for the insouciant sort of striking ideal for the City of Light. But it was her jaw-grazing bob that delivered distinction. One side of Hawke’s coif evoked thoughts of Old Hollywood, a soft bend near her browbone framing her face to demure effect. And on the opposite side? A taut French braid, which snaked from her subtle side part to the nape of her neck. The asymmetry was an exemplifier of Hawke’s personalized prowess: beauty that quietly topples expectations.
