Styling secrets to match that power pout
Picking up right where we left off with our last Wonder Plays Dress-Up pilot episode, we’re back with yet another tricky trend for unpacking: the red lip. Now, we know, a beauty trend in a styling series? Yes. Purely intentional.

In the video ahead, we break down five sartorial solutions for the red lip dilemma. Julia, our go-to Dress-up muse, sports Dior’s Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge lipstick in shade 999, lauded for being flattering on all skin colors across the board.
