Two Decades Later, Liv Tyler Is Still Giving Arwen Beauty
I am not the world's biggest Lord of the Rings fan, but I will never forget my first glimpse of Liv Tyler as elven royalty Arwen Undómiel in The Fellowship of the Ring. I was already fascinated with the star, given her rock ‘n roll status and roles in music videos and ’90s cinema classics, but she simply glowed onscreen as the princess, with delicately flushed cheeks and the perfect “just-bitten” lips. I also remember seeing that beauty inspo splashed all over the magazines of the time—including this very publication!—and more than 20 years later, Tyler is still bringing a bit of Arwen's otherworldly energy to our beauty moodboards.
Tyler attended a “Sisterhood of Light” x La Double J collaboration dinner hosted by supermodel Carolyn Murphy in Beverly Hills on November 10 and delivered the effortless, ethereal beauty inspo she's known for. The actor wore a long, embellished coat with her ultra-dark espresso waves parted in the middle and styled in loose, super-shiny waves that flowed down past her shoulders. (All that's missing is Arwen's crown, which Tyler memorably tried on again earlier this year.)
Lack of crown aside (which, TBH, would be a bit much for an elegant small dinner), Tyler's makeup also felt extremely Arwen-esque. Legend has it that Tyler slicked on Clinique's beyond-classic Almost Lipstick in Black Honey for her role as Arwen, but this lip shade, despite its similar light-as-air finish, was definitely more pink than plum, with a soft, natural matte finish that made it look like it could be her actual lip color. (Could it be… Pink Honey?) She wore a similar light pink shade on her cheeks and just the tiniest bit of black liner to emphasize her blue eyes. It's a simple look overall for sure, but one you could wear anywhere and everywhere, no matter the year. And like a Lord of the Rings movie marathon, some things are forever.
