How Bryce Dallas Howard Got Ready for the SAG Awards
“I was inspired by waking up today with the sunshine and clear air. Despite all the challenges we are all facing, I wanted to focus on brighter, lively, beautiful colors, and I wanted to bring bright, joyful colors to complement her maroon sequined dress. I created a palette with the eyes slightly smoldering in warm coppers and apricots, using corals on the cheeks and a pop of deeper Rouge Corail on the lip to finish off the look.”—Kara

Over the years we have seen the magic that Adir Abergel and Kara Yoshimoto Bua create when they work together, so when we heard that they were Bryce Dallas Howard’s glam squad for the SAG Awards (she’s nominated for Black Mirror!), we knew right away that we had to be there to capture all of the BTS action and glamour. From her red sequined Dress The Population gown, to Abergel’s newest hair accessories perfectly placed in her updo, to Bua’s fresh-faced, bright look, Howard headed to the red carpet looking like a living piece of art. But who are we kidding, we didn’t expect anything less from Virtue Labs’ newest creative director, Abergel, and CHANEL’s celebrity makeup artist, Bua—especially when you know they call one another, Howard included, family. Let’s just say it’s definitely one family that we would happily be adopted into.

“The minute that I saw that she wore these beautiful necklaces and a little choker, I knew that I had to elongate her neck and that her hair needed to be up at that point. I am coming out with a hair accessory line next month that will be sold on LELETNY.com, and I had these two beautiful barrettes that I hadn’t used on anyone yet—they’re beautiful and gold, and they’re all handmade in New York City. Immediately when I saw the dress I knew I wanted to do this updo that had a little bit of an origami feel for it, in the back. I took the ponytail and lifted it up and then folded it over again so that the ends were facing down, and then I put two beautiful golds barrettes, a little bit on an angle, so it kind of laid everything flat.”—Adir
