Vintage Aesthetics: Temi kicked off her haute couture viewing with the Tamara Ralph show, wearing top-toe Casablanca, styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray. She donned the Astrakhan short suit jacket with Casablanca’s signature gold-rimmed button detailing and a pleated short skirt.

Paired with kitten pumps, she rocked the all-black outfit with flawless minimal makeup by Kenneth Soh and a pretty updo with side bangs by Rio Sreedharan. See photos captured by the amazing Hollie Molloy below:

I got to play makeup on the lovely @temiotedola for the @giambattistavalliparis Haute Couture show in Paris. I wanted to amp up Temi’s lovely eyes with a contoured smoky paired with gorgeous iridescence of @violette_fr Yeux Paint Liquid Shadow in Scarabée d’Or.
