Her makeup was beautifully done by artist Hung Vanngo, who even took to Instagram to show the before and after look. Vanngo opted for soft shades with peachy cheeks, a nude lip colour and dark eye shadow, highlighting the 29-year-old’s best features just enough.

Said to have been wearing Christian Louboutin heels at the award function, Gomez walked alongside Martin Short to present an award for outstanding female actress in a supporting role. Hopping slightly, she looked visibly excited to be entering the stage without shoes.

Earlier this year, Euphoria star Zendaya had skipped wearing her shoes, as she walked the red carpet during the trailer launch of Euphoria Season 2 in only a pair of white socks. The reason being that the hem of her dress couldn’t be lengthened.
