Paris Fashion Week has brought out the best in everyone, with celebrities bringing their A-game to the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023/2024 shows. On July 4, Sydney Sweeney had one of the best looks of ’em all at the Giorgio Armani Privé show. Sweeney gave an Old Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe vibe with blonde hair and the perfect pop of red lipstick.

Sweeney is the face of Armani Beauty My Way Eau de Parfum ($120 at Sephora), as well as the brand’s makeup so of course artist Melissa Hernandez used it for her glam. On Instagram, Hernandez said she gave the actor a “French girl lip,” which made us seriously curious about what exactly she used. And now we know.

If you want to recreate the look at home, here’s what you’ll use.
