Jessica Chastain’s Paris Fashion Week outfit looked positively posh, but we're not as sure about her makeup.
The Zero Dark Thirty actress sat front row at Viktor & Rolf’s Saturday show, wearing an inky black vest and pants combo by (who else?) the designers themselves. She balanced out her understated outfit with some stunning makeup shades.
We have to give Chastain credit for her flawless coral lips and smoky eye – both of these are tough looks to pull off. But we can’t help but wonder if she went a bit overboard by pairing the two together.
Do you think Chastain overdid it? Or is her bright makeup just the thing to perk up her muted ensemble? Let us know in the comments below.

Check out this week's best-dressed celebrities:

Jennifer Lawrence In Dior
Simple black and white has never looked so amazing. The strapless, body-skimming gown looks like something <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/marilyn-monroe/" target="_blank">Marilyn Monroe </a>would have worn. The Oscar-winning actress' bold raspberry lipstick is just the right accoutrement to this sleek outfit, and her tousled locks are a reminder that J-Law is still pretty young and can flout the style rules a bit.

Selena Gomez In Atelier Versace
It takes a certain élan to carry off this dress, and the "S<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/19/selena-gomez-billboard-awards-dress-photos_n_3304025.html" target="_blank">pring Breakers</a>" actress has it. The high slit, neon accents and sheer panel could get tacky, but Gomez's youthful ponytail and minimal accessories make this a casual-yet-sexy thumbs up. Las Vegas, May 19th Photo Credit: FilmMagic
Emma Watson In Christopher Kane
Now this is how you wear a skirt-and-top combo at a red carpet event. Choose a bold hue, show off an inch of midriff and add some texture to create interest. Top the look off with a sleek hairdo and you're golden. Cannes, May 16th Photo Credit: WireImage
Zoe Saldana In Emanuelle Ungaro
Oooh, we love a quirky look when it's done right. The black and white blousy top evokes a vintage feel, and the body-conscious skirt adds a bit of whimsy. The poppy-colored heels and fuchsia lipstick are ideal pops of color. Cannes, May 20th Photo Credit: WireImage
Jessica Chastain In Givenchy
A sleek white gown makes waves, especially on the redheaded actress. The flattering gown acts as a backdrop to her fiery mane, gorgeous face and that emerald ring. Cannes, May 21st Photo Credit: Getty Images
Jessica Biel In Dior
There's something about this outfit that channels old Hollywood glamour. It's the mix of side-swept curls, a super structured bodice and that drape-y skirt. Add textured fabric that reminds us of a classic Chanel jacket, and sexy stilettos and we're sold. Monaco, May 18th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Jessica Hart
Embellishment adds interest to a strapless LBD. But it's the killer shoes that up the ante in the Australian model's look. Red heels will bring oomph to any look, especially when they're adorned with studs and pointy enough to poke an eye out. Cannes, May 21st Photo Credit: WireImage
Jessica Hart
The Australian model's Grecian-style gown is perfect for the red carpet. The one-shouldered neckline shows off her shoulders, while the structured bodice creates a sleek silhouette. The high slit is just enough drama for Cannes. Cannes, May 21st Photo Credit: WireImage
Jessica Alba In Fendi
A black dress can be a safe (read: boring) choice, but not when a leather obi belt is involved. The<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/jessica-alba/" target="_blank"> Honest Company founder</a> is at a charity event, so it makes sense that she would choose something understated. The frock shows off her figure but the high neckline and knee-length hem are proof that she's all business. Greenwich, May 20th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Rosario Dawson In Elie Saab
A high slit kinda demands a deep "V". The actress does it right, too -- her neckline frames her face without showing off too much skin and allows that leg to take center stage. Cannes, May 20th Photo Credit: WireImage
Rooney Mara In Calvin Klein
We're seeing a lot of jumpsuits lately, and we can understand why. The ease of slipping into one piece is a no-brainer. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" star works an edgy, graphic vibe in this black and white pantsuit. The strappy sandals add a sexy element to an otherwise demure look. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Sharon Stone In Roberto Cavalli
The "Basic Instinct" actress looks amazing. She shows off her long, lean figure in a cobalt gown that is radiant against her tanned skin and blonde hair. The plunging neckline is definitely a statement, but the collar necklace and long hemline offer balance. Cannes, May 21st Photo Credit: FilmMagic
Liya Kebede In Roberto Cavalli
Sheer clothing is really tough to pull off, especially on a red carpet. The model was wise to choose a totally covered silhouette so as not to give too much away. Her easy hair and makeup add a casual vibe to balance out what could be a very fancy dress. Cannes, May 18th Photo Credit: WireImage
Lyia Kebede
The Ethiopian model and designer stuns in this white tiered gown at Cannes. Many times, wearing two trends at once can be overwhelming, but the mixture of lace and ruffles on a sleek white canvas is sophisticated and elegant. Cannes, May 16th Photo Credit: WireImage
Octavia Spencer In Tadashi Shoji
The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/10/octavia-spencer-talks-weight-loss_n_3051313.html" target="_blank">Oscar-winning actress</a> wears clothes that look like they're tailor-made for her. This crimson gown shines against her skin tone, and the gathered material at her waist emphasizes her hourglass shape. Cannes, May 16th Photo Credit: Getty Images for The Weinstein Company
Doutzen Kroes In Atelier Versace
Supermodels can definitely pull off trends that mere mortals cannot. Here are some lessons that we can take away from this outfit: Sequins are gorgeous on floor-length gowns, especially when balanced out with miles of tulle. A keyhole is sexy, but be sure to contrast it with a modest hemline. And lastly, a slit up to there is very risky, so wearers, beware. Cannes, May 17th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Miley Cyrus In Valentino
Sleek and simple, this jumpsuit is an elegant departure from what we've seen Miley in recently -- and we like it. Black, white and red make for a stunning color combination and the sexy heels added just the right amont of polish to this look. Los Angeles, May 15th Photo Credit: WireImage
Jennifer Lopez L'Wren Scott
Somehow the diva manages to marry sexy and demure in the same outfit. The collar keeps her looking prim, while the body-conscious silhouette shows off her gorgeous figure. New York City, May 8th Photo Credit: FilmMagic
Amber Valletta
The model's look is a lesson in how to make a simple shift dress anything but boring. Add amazing accessories (those shoes! that clutch!) and a burgundy pout, and you're all set. Los Angeles, May 8th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Queen Latifah
The rapper-turned-actress knows how to show off her shape. The V-neck frames her face, which is highlighted with gorgeous hair and makeup, and the sparkles add dimension and shine to an otherwise classic silhouette. New York City, May 8th Photo Credit: WireImage
Ashanti In Stella McCartney
The "Miracle Dress" continues its reign of power -- and with good reason. The side panels create the illusion of an hourglass silhouette and the knee-length hem is so elegant. The singer's skin tone shines against that deep emerald hue. New York City, May 8th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Holly Robinson Peete
A wiggle dress (slim-fitting, with a knee-length hemline) is the perfect way to show off one's figure without looking like a character from "Jersey Shore." We love how the actress' chose a material that gives the dress some depth, and the color is just right for spring. May 8th Photo Credit: FilmMagic
Julianne Hough
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: A fit-and-flare dress flatters every figure. The diminutive star shows off toned arms in this sleeveless frock and the short hemline lengthens her legs (as do those sexy stilettos). Overall, her look is fresh thanks to pulled-back hair, clean makeup and the minimalist nature of the frock. New York City, May 9th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Sienna Miller In Matthew Williamson
Ever since her turn in spiked leather at the Met Gala, the British beauty is back on our style radar. Light blue lace is so ladylike, but Miller balanced it out with pointy-toe heels and a perspex clutch that added an unexpected, edgy element to her sweet look. London, May 12th Photo Credit: WireImage
Michelle Rodriguez In Hervé Leger
This is a clever take on the classic bandage dress. The long gown is understated, but the piping has the effect of tracing the "Fast & Furious 6" star's silhouette. Seoul, May 13th Photo Credit: WireImage
Uma Thurman In Fendi
The actress is pure elegance in this long white gown. The architectural details in the gently rounded sleeves and gathered neckline add interest, while the body-skimming silhouette shows off Thurman's lovely figure. New York City, May 13th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Coco Rocha In Zac Posen
"The Face" judge wows in a dramatic gown. The pale mauve hue lets details like the structured bodice, pleating and fishtail train take the spotlight. New York City, May 13th Photo Credit: FilmMagic
Amber Valletta
The supermodel is stunning in this dress. The reasoning is simple: The fit-and-flare shape emphasizes her hourglass figure, and the Dali-esque pattern is arresting without distracting. Los Angeles, May 13th Photo Credit: Getty Images for MAC Cosmetics
Adriana Lima
Va-va-va-voom! The Victoria's Secret model stuns in this fuchsia gown. The plunging neckline and high slit give off a sexy vibe, but the floor-length hem, full shoulders and easy hairdo keep her look casual. Los Angeles, May 14th Photo Credit: WireImage
Kerry Washington In Marc By Marc Jacobs
The "Scandal" star knows how to wear a leather dress. Opt for a classic silhouette in an unexpected shade. New York City, May 14th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Alice Eve In Zuhair Murad
Talk about showing off your shape! The black piping has the effect of framing her upper body, but it's the waist-cinching band that is really key in creating that hourglass silhouette. Los Angeles, May 14th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Kate Beckinsale In Alberta Ferretti
Now this is how to keep a black dress from being boring. The simple neckline and structured bodice complement the mullet hemline (which shows off her legs). But it's her accessories that are really the main event here: the chandelier earrings and those fun, yet sexy stilettos. Los Angeles, May 14th Photo Credit: FlimMagic
Carey Mulligan In Balenciaga by Alexander Wang
A jumpsuit can be difficult to pull off, but Mulligan is a style star and knows what she's doing. She kept her hair pulled off her face and her makeup minimal so the curved neckline and stark simplicity of the outfit could take center stage. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: WireImage
Cara Delevingne In Burberry
WOW. This outfit would stop traffic. The model's gown is revealing, without showing off too much. She plays up the vamp-y vibe with diamonds, tousled locks and that berry-red pout. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Cindy Crawford In Roberto Cavalli
She's a legend for a reason. This white gown takes no prisoners: The revealing neckline is the showstopper here, but Cindy takes it down a notch with her casual hairdo. She held back on accessories -- smart, since the dress is the main attraction. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Nicole Kidman In Dior
This dress has us crying tears of joy. The strapless neckline is so simple, but the volume in the skirt is pure couture craftmanship. The floral detail has us looking twice and the shoes add just the right pop of color. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Carey Mulligan In Dior
We had to look twice here -- "The Great Gatsby" actress looks an awful lot like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Ralph_Lauren_dress_of_Gwyneth_Paltrow" target="_hplink">Gwyneth Paltrow in her famous pink gown</a>. Wearing such a pale hue on the milky-skinned actress was a risk, but Mulligan balanced it out with a deep red lip color. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Lana Del Rey In Lena Hoschek
The singer is the epitome of old Hollywood glamour in this gown. The baroque pattern draws the focus to her bust and waist and then down to the ladylike train. She topped off the look with retro curls, chandelier earrings and cat eyeliner. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Freida Pinto In Gucci
Bright pink is beautiful when done properly. Pinto shines in this raspberry-hued frock -- her skin glows against the rose tones. The halter neckline shows off her shoulders, while the gold belt adds a Grecian vibe. Cannes, May 15th Photo Credit: WireImage
Kerry Washington In Prabal Gurung
WOW. What an original garment. Between the studded belt, peplum detail at the waist, patterned skirt and transparent panel at the hem, we could've easily been overwhelmed. But the "Scandal" <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/15/kerry-washington-mtv-movie-awards-dress_n_3083648.html" target="_blank">star</a> is a style maven and knows what she's doing: She kept her hair and makeup super simple to let the dress speak for itself. New York City, May 6th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Jessica Biel In Giambattista Valli
It may not be safety pins or a mohawk, but Biel's take on punk at the Met Gala was impressive. The lace tights were an elegant, yet on-theme addition to a black gown that was both figure-flattering (that waist! that neckline!) and dramatic, thanks to a major train. New York City, May 6th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Kate Bosworth In Miu Miu
A fit-and-flare silhouette looks great on everyone. The cinched-in waistline creates curves, while the flouncy hemline draws the attention to long legs and stunning shoes. Los Angeles, May 8th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Zoe Saldana In Vionnet
Though this dress caused the actress to almost have a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/02/zoe-saldana-wardrobe-malfunction-photos_n_3203374.html?ir=Style" target="_blank">wardrobe malfunction</a>, we can't help but love it. The top is so simple; as a result, her hair and makeup take the spotlight. Then, our focus shifted down to the float-y, voluminous skirt which shows off her legs (and those shoes!). London, May 2nd Photo Credit: Getty Images
Amber Valleta In Roland Mouret
The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/15/amber-valletta-without-makeup-photos_n_2867691.html" target="_blank">supermodel</a> stuns in this black and white ensemble. A top and skirt is pretty standard, unless the top in question is a one-shouldered number that highlights the collarbone and the pencil skirt is body-skimming and oh-so-elegant. Add a pretty pink lip, and we're sold. Los Angeles, May 2nd Photo Credit: Getty Images
Bella Thorne
The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anne-hilker/bella-thorne_b_1762029.html" target="_blank">Shake It Up</a>" actress shines in a visually arresting dress. The green pattern complements her milky skin tone and red hair, while the shape of the dress accentuates her hourglass silhouette. Los Angeles, May 3rd Photo Credit: Getty Images
Karolina Kurkova In Givenchy
The luxury in wearing all black is that you can take risks with shapes and, of course, add some flavor with accessories. The supermodel and "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/25/the-face-nigel-barker_n_1702260.html" target="_blank">The Face</a>" judge plays with silhouettes in this tuxedo-inspired minidress and keeps things interesting with a red clutch and seriously sexy heels. New York City, May 4th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Emma Roberts In Jonathan Saunders
The "We're The Millers" <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/emma-roberts/" target="_blank">actress</a> is positively ethereal in this floor-length gown. Roberts maintains a sophisticated vibe thanks to the body-skimming silhouette and details like dark nail art. New York City, May 5th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Alice Eve In Roksanda Ilincic
We love when a celebrity takes a chance with a bold hue. The "<a href="http://news.moviefone.com/2013/05/02/star-trek-into-darkness-london-premiere_n_3203578.html" target="_blank">Star Trek Into Darkness</a>" actress is the epitome of spring in this tangerine dress that elongates her figure, thanks to a cleverly disguised empire waist and the white fabric inset. Her silver pumps add sex appeal without distracting. Mexico City, May 7th Photo Credit: WireImage
Jordana Brewster In Jenny Packham
A column gown is just right when there are fun details (pearls!) to keep the eye moving. It helps that the <a href="http://movies.yahoo.com/news/fast-furious-6-director-justin-lin-responds-james-000758716.html" target="_blank">actress</a>' gorgeous dark hair contrasts so nicely with the pale frock. London, May 7th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Michelle Rodriguez
There's something about a woman in a red dress that is just so alluring. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/24/michelle-rodriguez-quits-acting_n_3149776.html" target="_blank">Rodriguez</a> shows off her toned arms with a strapless neckline, and the "V" pattern creates the illusion of curves. London, May 7th Photo Credit: Getty Images
Audrey Tautou
The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/03/audrey-tautou-style_n_790560.html#s194969&title=February_2002" target="_blank">French actress</a> knows how to wear frills. What could be overly fussy is toned down with a beautifully tailored jacket, an asymmetrical skirt that shows off her long legs and minimal accessories. Paris, May 3rd Photo Credit: Getty Images
