Amy Adams Rocks a Bold Eye & Sleek Hair at the L.A. Premiere of American Hustle

If you have yet to figure out how to wear your hair and makeup for your next holiday fete, may we suggest a strong eye and sleek hair combo a la Amy Adams? Her look at the LA premiere of American Hustle is the epitome of elegance and pairs perfectly with just about any ensemble. Makeup artist Stephen Sollitto and hair stylist Laini Reeves were both inspired by the actress' black and white David Koma frock. “I always try to incorporate a color or style from the dress into the makeup look," said Stephen. "Although this dress is simple black and white, a bold, overall look with a strong eye spoke to me.” Stephen and Laini gave us the scoop on Amy's entire look, see below!
