“We wanted to give her look a classic feel to coincide with the vintage dress she’s wearing. Her warm skin tone and the coolness of the dress was the perfect combination for reflecting the same tones through her makeup: warm eyes, and a cool peachy matte lip. It’s flirty with a bit of sass.” — Tina Turnbow, makeup artist

“Jenna wore a gorgeous vintage Versace gown. Vintage yes, but it had these amazing graphic red appliqués which made the dress quite modern.
