How does one ready for a celebratory dinner in the City of Light amid the fray of Paris Fashion Week? If you're a Dior beauty ambassador—and one of the evening's hosts—it's best to start with a standout lip shade. For Jorja Smith, that means a nude, more specifically a shade plucked from the new Rouge Dior Ultra Care Lipstick collection.

Smith joined the brand’s Creative Director Peter Philips at Caviar Kaspia last night for the launch of the aforementioned lipstick line, an intimate event which counted Bella Hadid and Natalia Dyer among its guests. But lest you think that Smith's neutral lip led to a demure launch look, the singer's behind-the-scenes beauty diary showcases a femme fatale take on belle-of-the-ball styling. A quilted black jumpsuit called for red stilettos and high-drama shades, the ensemble topped with a leather trench and punctuated by a candy-coated manicure. From a slicked brow to an even sleeker ponytail, Smith's night-out vibe was anything but basic. Above, get an inside peek at the performer's getting ready session at Paris's Le Royal Monceu.
