Olivia Dean's Beauty Styles Channel Ultimate Rom-Com Vibes: 9 Instances That Captivated Us
Certain singers evoke the feeling of belonging to a 2000s romantic comedy soundtrack, embodying nostalgic characters like Bridget Jones, while others adopt a style that mirrors the essence of such films on and off the red carpet. Olivia Dean, a 26-year-old singer-songwriter, perfectly embodies both of these qualities. Her music exudes intimacy and warmth, steeped in nostalgia, complemented by her playful, personal fashion sense. Her makeup is equally enchanting. To celebrate Dean receiving her first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, which we expect to be the first of many, we’re showcasing some of her standout beauty moments from glamorous fashion events, movie premieres, and more.

Her makeup, designed with cool tones to create a subtle contrast with the vibrant jewel hues, showcased matte eyeshadow.
