Wolf Of Wall Street actress, Margot Robbie opted for lightly tousled 'undone' waves and let her metallic gold dress do all the talking.
Beautifully bronzed, Margot kept her beauty look fresh and natural. Subtly defined brows, a glossy lip and strategically placed highliter along the hairline, down the nose and across the cheekbones radiated her best bits.
If we were blessed with a complexion like Margot's we'd keep our make-up minimal too. Just gorgeous!
