    Let's look back on Olivia Palermo's best beauty moments...

    There's no doubt about it, Olivia Palermo is one gorgeous A-Lister, looking nothing short of perfection whatever the occasion. She's not short of 10/10 looks: Take a look through her style highs and lows for some top class fashion inspiration. As well as making quite a name for herself as a style icon, she's held as a beauty icon too, in our eyes, demonstrating endless beautiful looks over the last few years.

    Olivia first rose to fame when she starred in reality show The Hills spin off, The City, alongside Whitney Port from 2008, in order to gain a bit of experience in the world of acting. She's also dabbled in the world of modelling and appearing as a guest judge on Project Runway and Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model. And in 2014 she launched her very own e-commerce site along with 'The Fancy'. Over the years, Olivia has had a number of designer collaborations and has graced red carpets all over the world. But no matter the location, Olivia is always getting it right in the beauty stakes - be sure to check out her beauty secrets.

    Over the years, Olivia has experimented with a number of different hair colours and styles, looking simply amazing with each one. What's more, her numerous beauty looks - whether she's on the red carpet or just out and about in the city - will seriously inspire you for your own make up looks.

    Olivia married her long-term boyfriend (and fellow model) Johannes Huebl in 2014 in an intimate ceremony in Bedford, New York - the pair are forever looking super loved-up when they're out in public, and regularly give us all of the #relationshipgoals.
