Accuracy aside, Ryan Murphy's Love Story has everyone in a chokehold. The biographical romance anthology series' first season follows the whirlwind romance of 1990's golden couple John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, from the moment they met to their passing in 1999.
While some fawn over the tale of American royalty falling for a girl from the Big Apple—while others fixate on needle drops such as Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" and Sade's "No Ordinary Love", and Paul Anthony Kelly himself—Gen Zs are obsessed with the actress portraying Carolyn, Sarah Pidgeon. With her creamy blonde locks and cool girl aesthetic, she's definitely a beauty muse on our radar. With the season finale this Friday, we've rounded up five of our favourite beauty moments from the actress on the red carpet and on-screen.

Cashmere Blonde
The person who said your natural colour is your best hair colour clearly said that without seeing a picture of Sarah. For Love Story, the actress went from her natural dark brown to Carolyn's trademark creamy cashmere blonde.

Rhode Girl
Rhode has a knack for spotting It-girls. Within the first few episodes of Love Story, the beauty brand dropped a surprise spring campaign with Sarah at the forefront, looking every bit of a blushing beauty.
To recreate her look, go with either a radiant raspberry pink hue or warm red for a natural yet vibrant flush. With a brush or fingertips, blend along the cheeks and across the nose bridge for a sun-kissed effect.

Actor's Glow
For this year's Actor's Awards, Sarah showed up looking positively luminous. Courtesy of make-up artist Emily Cheng, the glam was the epitome of California chic with glowy skin, fluttery lashes, flushed cheeks, and a soft nude lip.
For Sarah's base, prep with hydrating skincare. From there, apply a liquid luminiser as a base, followed by a glowy foundation for maximum radiance.

Party Glam
For the Vanity Fair Oscars party, Sarah brought out the spirit of Gossip Girl's Serena Van Der Woodsen with this cosmopolitan look. She paired her Calvin Klein ensemble with brighter, blonder locks and an enhanced rendition of the no make-up make-up look.
For Sarah's bright yet defined eyes, tightline the upper lashline with a black pencil while using a nude-cream hue on the bottom lashline to brighten. From there, apply coats of volumising mascara.

Lovely Waves
Before Carolyn became part of the Kennedy dynasty, she spent her days working at Calvin Klein—dressed in minimalist chic with a laissez-faire beauty routine featuring powder foundation, the occasional stone red lipstick, Egyptian Musk, and undone yet stylish waves seen on Sarah in the first few episodes.
To recreate Sarah and Carolyn's tresses, it's as simple as applying a styling balm, braiding your hair into plaits, and going to bed. Wake up the next morning, take them out, gently brush through, and apply a texturiser for volume and movement.
