Model Gigi Hadid turned heads at the 2026 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony with a strong cupid's bow lip, defying the year's blurred lip trend. She wore a crystal-white David Koma gown and sported long, bouncy curls styled by her team. The event honored achievements in mathematics and science.
Gigi Hadid attended the 2026 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in a form-fitting, crystal-white David Koma gown featuring a halterneck with a silver coin detail, sculpted bodice, and contouring skirt. She accessorized with Anayam London jewels. Her makeup, crafted by Patrick Ta, featured a lip shade four to five tones deeper than her natural color, starting with a liner matching her lip's undertone for harmony with the blush. The look evoked silver screen sirens like Marlene Dietrich, complemented by luminous highlight, warm blush, soft bronzed contour, and a cool eye with feline flick and fanning lashes. Hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos created big, bouncy, angelic curls by setting tiny curls, clipping until cool, brushing with a paddle brush, backcombing for vintage effect, middle-parting, and pinning sides up. Hadid had recently extended her hair to chest-length with a c-shaped blunt cut, accentuating its flaxen tones in a sleek style. The star-studded event also drew Anne Hathaway, Lily Collins, Naomi Watts, and Michelle Williams, who wore a black and gold Fforme dress with an up-do and tomato red lip. Lily Collins opted for a strapless, deep mustard Saint Laurent gown and razor-edged bob. While blurred lips dominate celebrity trends—from Sarah Pidgeon to Amal Clooney—Hadid's defined pout highlights a timeless alternative amid rising '90s matte makeup influences.
