The host and nominee in five categories — Best Collaboration, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects — paired her Stephane Rolland gown with an amethyst wash. “When I’m at home, I’m a lot more plebian. I love the summer and I love a little bit of Vitamin D,” she told Elle.com. “But when I’m on stage, it’s all about creating a character and being an exaggerated version of myself.” Get the look: Covergirl TruNake Eye Shadow Palette in Jewels and Goldens.

The Six star chose a burnt-orange hue. “Being multicultural has affected my definition of beauty, the way I see beauty, and how I feel beautiful tremendously,” she told Refinery29. “I’m Chinese and white, and I actually have more of a Chinese bone structure but more white features, and little things completely transform my face.”
