EXCLUSIVE: How Yalitza Aparicio Got Ready for the Oscars

2019 is

Yalitza Aparicio

’s year. No one can say any different. The star of the multi-nominated Netflix film

Roma

is one of the most anticipated wins of the night. We’re rooting for her! Before she

stepped out onto the red carpet

for the biggest night of her career (thus far)—in a custom silver-dotted mint-green Rodarte gown, Jimmy Choo clutch embellished with a Rodarte flower, and the icing (no pun intended) on the sartorial cake, Forevermark diamonds—she hung out with family and friends who flew in from Mexico to celebrate. Of course, her glam team—

Carissa Ferreri

on makeup,

Matilde Campos

on hair, and

Cov alum Sophie Lopez

on the fashion—were there, too. Since we couldn’t squeeze into the suite ourselves, Lopez gave us a peek inside by way of her camera roll.
