What Season Palette Is Kate Beckinsale
Brace yourselves. Kate Beckinsale is a textbook Deep Winter. I’m calling it now. No, really, it makes perfect sense.

Deep Winters are the coolest of the cool, but they borrow a tiny bit of warmth from Autumn. That’s why she can handle those occasional chestnut highlights. It’s a controlled burn, not a full forest fire.
They thrive in high contrast. Think black and white movies, but in real life. Her best looks are always jewel tones—ruby red, emerald green, sapphire blue.
The "Bad" Colors (Yes, They Exist)
I love her to death, but someone needs to take away her washed-out beige. And maybe that pale peach lipstick she wore in 2005. Those colors make her look like she just fought a cold and lost.
She needs punch. She needs depth. She needs colors that say, “I could kill you with my eyeliner, but I won’t because I’m too chic.”
Ever see her in a bright, warm orange? It’s a crime scene. Her skin turns a weird, sallow shade. Meanwhile, a rich, cool burgundy makes her look like she just drank the blood of her enemies. Very fitting for Underworld, right?
