This picture just seemed like the perfect choice for Valentine's Day. Jessica Brown-Findlay looks like a cream and pink cupcake in Dior at the London premiere of her new film Winter's Tale.

It doesn't really matter - down up or not - Brown-Findlay is stunning and her beauty is only enhanced with makeup. She is a rare beauty who glows without it.
