Get Her Prom Look
Work understated glamour like Kara Tointon
Less is definitely more and a touch of understated glamour is sometimes all you need to cause a stir at prom. It looks like Kara Tointon’s had a good soak in the tub since her trek across Kenya for Comic Relief, but she carried on the red theme when she rocked up at the Laurence Olivier Awards in this show stopping strapless satin gown (without a hint of sunburn). The flowing fabric shows off her toned figure and the slight mermaid cut swishes gracefully around her ankles as she walks. Luckily this look-a-like from Jasmine Bridal’s Lafeé collection is made from stretch taffetta - a slightly more forgiving fabric, with beautiful pleated detail and a diamanté band below the bust.
Like all the chicest celebs, Kara goes for quality not quantity when it comes to accessories, wearing just a pair of small diamanté drop earrings. We think this ‘Precious Heiress’ pair £28 from GlitzySecrets.com are a little bit special.
It’s no secret that Kara has the perfect bone structure, but you can create the same effect with just a little make-up know-how. Take a blusher like this cute MeMeMe blush box in shade 4 Rouge £7 Superdrug, and sweep it across the hollows of your cheeks whilst sucking them in. Next take a highlighter and blend across the cheek bone to give a sculpted illusion. Kara brings out her narrow eyes by covering the whole lid in a dark shadow and outlining the whole rim with pencil. A nude lip gloss to finish prevents the look becoming too Gothic.
Kara’s hair is pulled back into a sleek updo that suits the clean lines of her dress. Secure in place with a firm hold hair spray for a smooth finish. Try Trevor Sorbie’s Beautifully Moisturised Hairspray, £5.10 from http://www.trevorsorbie.com. With enhanced shine and moisture barrier technology it’ll protect your style from fizz whatever the weather on your big night.
