Big Little Lies—and its iconic cast of women—is back. And, for her part, Shailene Woodley is earning her place among the Monterey Five by stealing hearts—and offering up double-take worthy beauty.
For last night s season two premiere in New York City, the actress commanded attention with a lesson in 60s beauty, complete with era-inspired crown in the form of some seriously stylized hair. A strategically sheer dress and matching moody manicure served as a jumping off point for Woodley s above-neck notes: A swipe of pinky-nude lipstick coupled with a dusting of warming bronzer, the look finished with a smokey eye, metallic mauve shadow inching toward brows. But it was Woodley s mane, brushed into a bouffant worthy of Brigitte Bardot, that ensured the moment was one to remember—and the stuff of retro revival daydreams.
As if cool girl throwback lengths weren t enough to set Woodley apart, Instagram feeds this morning were freckled with a clip of newest addition to the Big Little Lies family, Meryl Streep, who took to The Wing s Soho location to gush about the 27-year-old actress. "She s just a miracle in this thing, I have to say," she said. "I m glad she s not here because I can talk about her that way. I mean, she s a miracle." Aspirational hair and praise from Streep herself? For Woodley, it s all in a day s work.
