Pretty in Pink
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. The swipe of hot pink shadow paired with a lightly glossed lip has us dreaming of spring. And those floor-length box braids deserve an award or a standing ovation, at the very least.
