Knightley's Navy Smoky Eye
Keira Knightley's look for the Los Angeles premiere of "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" was all Chanel -- and all fabulous. Inspired by Knightley's navy Chanel dress with white bow accents, makeup artist Kate Lee highlighted the actress's eyes with a smoky blue color while keeping the rest of the makeup clean. Here's how you can recreate the look for yourself:

To help restore moisture to skin (Knightley had just gotten off a plane before the premiere), Lee used Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème Riche (available February 2014). For an even glow, Lee applied Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15, $45.

Focusing on the eyes, Lee used Chanel Le Crayon Khôl Intense Eye Pencil in Marine, $28, to line both the upper and lower lash lines. And to get a smudgy, soft effect, she applied Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Apparition, $36, all over lids, making sure the lines were blended. Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour in Mademoiselle, $34, gave lips a natural blush and completed the look.

Allison Williams's Jaw-Dropping Hair Accessory
All other updos can just call it quits. "Girls" star Allison Williams attended the much anticipated season three premiere wearing her hair in a bun so glamorous even a prima ballerina would be envious. The look starts off simple enough with a low, slicked-back bun. But the gunmetal, silver and pink bejeweled accessory pinned above and around the knot adds a modern twist we only wish we had thought of ourselves. (It would have been the perfect look for NYE, no?)

Waves of Wall Street: Camila Alves's Glossy Curls
Need another reason to be jealous of model and wife of Matthew McConaughy, Camila Alves? Add this hair to the list. The mom of three heated up the red carpet in a Dolce & Gabbana red lace dress and bombshell waves at the NY premiere of "The Wolf of Wall Street" earlier this week. Getting Alves's loose waves is surprisingly simpler than it looks, according to stylist and co-owner of NYC's Patrick Melville Salon, Patrick Melville.

Melville -- who styled both Alves and hubby McConaughy's hair for the premiere -- began by using a Mason Pearson brush to blow out and smooth Alves' natural curls. He then created side-swept waves by curling hair with a medium-sized barrel iron (we like the HOT Tools Professional Marcel Curling Iron) in a spiral direction from roots to ends for added texture. To give hair a glossy shine and smooth finish, Melville used Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment by Schwarzkopf Bonacure, his "go-to" product.

How To Get Victoria's Secret Model Hair
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show aired Tuesday night, and while we might not be able to promise you a body like Karlie Kloss, we've got the next best thing: the secret to the signature sexy hair. Superstar hairstylist Orlando Pita was responsible for the Angels's tousled waves, and he gave us the step-by-step breakdown.

To prep the hair, Pita distributed VS So Sexy Style Body & Hold Volumizing Mousse on damp hair from roots to ends before blow drying with ghd Air Professional Performance Hairdryer. Starting at the nape of the neck, Pita took horizontal sections of hair and sprayed with VS So Sexy Style Hold & Finish Hairspray before creating a pin curl by wrapping the hair around two fingers.

Then, Pita closed the ghd Tri-zone Styler (yes, a straightener!) around the wrapped section, holding for about 5 seconds. He wrapped the hair back around his fingers and pinned the curl. He repeated this technique throughout the hair, removing the pins once the hair had cooled. To finish the look, Pita sprayed the hair with either VS So Sexy Style Clean & Go Dry Shampoo (to volumize fine hair) or VS So Sexy Hold & Finish Hairspray. He broke up the curls for the messy-sexy look, and the Angels were runway ready.

The New Smoky Eye: Amy Adams's Graphic Look
Amy Adams has perfected the whole classic-with-a-modern-twist thing. And her look at last night's LA premiere of her new movie, "American Hustle," was no exception.

Makeup artist Stephen Sollitto started by moisturizing Adams's skin with RéVive Sensitif Renewal Cream Daily Cellular Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen and enhancing her complexion with Laura Mercier Hydrating Foundation Primer and Tinted Moisturizer. For the "perfect, neutral cheek," Sollitto applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Praline, and he used Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour in Café for a soft lip.

For the graphic eyes, Sollitto chose Laura Mercier Sequin Eye Colour in Twinkling Star for "a soft-sparkle effect," and applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Twilight all over the eyelid and along the upper and lower lash lines for a smoky effect. To get the bold lined look, Sollitto used Laura Mercier Graphic Liquid Eyeliner on the upper and lower lash lines, softening it with Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eyeliner in Gunmetal Smoke. He finished it off with Dior Diorshow Blackout Mascara and Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Colour in Crystal Fantasy on the inner corners of both eyes for brightness.
