To complement her gown, Byrne wore pieces from Chanel’s Tweed Collection, including the Frangé Earrings and Brodé ring, as well as an 18K white gold Motif Russe bracelet. Her long-time makeup artist, James Molloy, focused on maintaining a modern interpretation of classic elegance.
“We referenced the 1940s, emphasizing elegance with ease of wear,” Molloy explained. The makeup aimed to balance the entire look, ensuring that Byrne felt confident and sophisticated.
Makeup Features
An essential part of Byrne’s retro-inspired glam was a soft red lip, designed to enhance her youthful complexion. “A diffused red instantly brightens the entire face,” Molloy noted, emphasizing how vital it is to frame the face with well-groomed eyebrows.

In her nominated role, Byrne portrayed Linda, a mother navigating challenges associated with children with special needs. She engaged with mothers in similar situations to better understand their experiences. “These conversations changed my perspective on motherhood,” Byrne shared.
Byrne also offered practical advice to fellow mothers: “Get them to bed. Early.” This light-hearted remark encapsulated her dedication to both her career and family life.
