Just 24 hours after getting decked out in a striped Carolina Herrera dress and bold red lip for the Producers Guild Awards, Lancôme AmbassadressAmanda Seyfriedand her glam team deliveredyet another standout red carpet momentfor theSAG Awardswhere she was nominated for her role inThe Dropout. “When we saw the dress, we all agreed on a sixties vibe,” says makeup artistGenevieve Herr. Here are all the head-to-toe details, including everything you didn’t see!

HairstylistDJ Quinteroshowed Herr several inspo photos including one of Catherine Deneuve inBelle de Jour, which everyone loved and led to the star’s thick black eyeliner (Herr usedLancôme Idôle Liquid Eyeliner). To offset the drama of the liner, Herr opted for subtle blush and a light peach lip (Lancôme Le Lip Liner Pencil in BronzelleandLancôme L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick in Tendre Mirage).
- Even celebrities need moisturizer.
- Her hair was full of secrets.
In keeping with the retro feel, Quintero gave Seyfried a bouncy ponytail with flipped up ends. To achieve the extra-voluminous look, he added some extensions. “You have to make sure that you start with a really good set, then it’s a lot of teasing and hairspray,” says Quintero who also usedLiving Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Sprayto add “the right amount of grit, while keeping it fluffy.” And despite the style being totally secured in place (“there’s a lot happening under there, a lot of secrets,” he jokes) Quintero can’t help but worry any time he does an updo. “I have nightmares that somehow something’s going to fall down.”
- The dress was originally a different color.
- She didn’t look in the mirror until the reveal.
Because Herr prefers to do makeup in natural light, Seyfried was facing a window for most of her glam session. “Occasionally we would just have her turn and look in the mirror, but she was busy doing things and she kind of got caught up,” says Quintero. It wasn’t until her hair was finished that she finally looked at herself. “She was like, “oh my God!” he says. “She was so happy.”
