9Pink Explosion
It's hard to distract anyone from Maison Valentino's regal, otherworldly dresses. Pat McGrath said challenge accepted. Mother's ethereal angel makeup look was a delicate wash of hot pink from her MothershipVII: DivineRose eye palette that started on the lids and then gently swiped into a c-shape along the cheekbones. But Adut Akech's flawless, butter-smooth skin was the icing on the cake.

Zendaya's sensational Tom Ford hot pink chest plate stole the show at last weekend's Critics' Choice Movie Awards, but her pretty in pink beauty look deserves a moment of your time.
