The “Country’s Cool Again” singer’s long mane was styled in waves, with gray eye shadow and dark eyeliner rounding out her makeup.

Ballerini works with styling duo Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who also count Jennifer Lopez and Lily Collins as clients.

At the Met Gala earlier this month, Zangardi and Haenn styled Ballerini in a floral Michael Kors gown featuring sheer panels and strategically placed appliqués. A team of eight artisans spent 3,550 hours crafting the country star’s frock. Ballerini completed her look with custom Simon G jewelry embellished with diamonds, orange and yellow sapphires.
