It’s resort season for the fashion elite and our favorite celebrities are flocking to hot spots like Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Paris for a front-row view of the pieces that we’re bound to see on the red carpet later this year.

On June 7, Gabrielle Union, who recently unveiled her collaboration with New York & Company, attended Stella McCartney’s 2018 presentation and garden party, where she stunned in a runway-ready frock and glorious textured lob (short for long bob).

Although we’ve been crushing on her mane for the past few weeks, it’s the makeup beat that we’re gawking over this time around. As it turns out, her royal blue smoky eye was created by the expert hands of Sir John!

Known for his work with women like Beyoncé, Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn, the MUA continues to expand his rolodex of celebrity clientele and as you can see, he never disappoints.

This dark and sexy color palette is synonymous with hot summer nights, so if you want to get the look, experiment with pigmented shadows, like Urban Decay’s Eyeshdow in Evidence ($19, sephora.com) or Dior’s Fusion Mono Eyeshadow in Reveuse ($31, sephora.com).
