Nina Dobrev can be her own makeup musician.
Dobrev, 36, took to Instagram on Thursday, October 2, to share that she was the mastermind behind her glam ahead of enjoying a night on the town with Ashley Park.
She zoomed in on her face in the photo to show off her full beat, which included a dewy base, bronzed and contoured cheeks and a touch of sparkle on her high points. Dobrev’s eyeshadow stole the show, with a brown shade built up in her outer corner and blended into her crease. The actress then cut her crease with a nude shade. She added even more drama to her look with black pigment tightlining her brown eyes, which she finished with a sharp wing. Dobrev completed her look with mascara, filled-in eyebrows and nude lips.
“Makeup by 🙋🏻♀️,” Dobrev captioned the post. “(Thx to a YouTube tutorial 😂).”
Nina Dobrev made a major fashion statement while posing for photos in what fans are already dubbing her “revenge dress.” The Vampire Diaries actress, 36, wore a jaw-dropping black Cult Gaia design featuring a dramatic plunging neckline edged with bold metallic trim in a series of portraits shared via her Instagram on Thursday, October 2, […]
Although she did her own makeup, Dobrev relied on a hairstylist to create her updo. Her brunette hair was parted down the middle and styled in a slicked-back updo with her ends twisted into a bun. Her face-framing pieces were left out and curled.
The rest of her ensemble featured a black Cult Gaia frock, which fans deemed a “revenge dress” following her split with ex-fiancé Shaun White.
Her outfit featured a cutout and plunging neckline adorned with gold hardware that gave her just the right amount of cleavage. The design cascaded into a bodycon fit.

Dobrev teamed the sexy look with coordinating gold accessories, including a clutch and statement earrings. She tied her ensemble together with strappy gold sandals.
In another photo, Dobrev posed with Park, 34, who also stunned in a brown flowy dress featuring a low-cut neckline, an airy skirt and floral details.
Park complemented her dress with silver bow earrings, bronzey eyeshadow, filled-in eyebrows and glossy lips. Her highlighted mane was styled in a half-up hairstyle with her tresses curled.
“✨,” Dobrev captioned a carousel of photos from the evening. Fans went wild for Dobrev’s look in the comments section.
“The revenge HOTNESS is next level!!!!” one wrote, while a second added, “Oh yea, she’s gonna be just fine 😮💨🔥.” A third commented, “Giving me Princess Diana’s revenge dress’ vibes and I’m here for it. 👏🔥.”
Her celebrity friends also gushed over her look. Vanessa Hudgens commented, “Gorrrrrgeeee,” while Zoey Deutch praised, “Hi hot stuff.” Actress Claudia Sulewski also wrote, “I’m SWEATING.”
Dobrev’s thirst trap comes after Us Weekly confirmed that she and White, 39, split after five years together on September 11.
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White may have called it quits, but their red carpet moments will live on forever. In September 2025, Us Weekly confirmed the couple, who got engaged in October 2024, split after five years together. Reps for both Dobrev and White did not return Us Weekly’s request for comment. At the height […]
On September 19, a source told Us Weekly that “no drama” or “cheating” was involved in their decision to split.
“They were loyal to each other their entire relationship. At the end of the day, they’re human beings, just like everyone else. They genuinely just grew apart and realized they would be better off just as friends and not husband and wife,” the source said.
On October 1, Dobrev addressed rumors that she was moving on with Zac Efron after they were seen looking cozy on vacation last month.
When asked by TMZ if they were “just mates,” Dobrev nodded her head.
“You know what? I’m excited for the future and the only thing that’s guaranteed is change,” she added.
