Avantika Gets Ready for the Red Carpet (Imagemaker Awards 2026) | InStyle

Get ready with ‘Not Suitable for Work’ and ‘Pretty Lethal’ actress Avantika as she prepares for the 2026 InStyle Imagemaker Awards. Filled with nervous excitement to honor her lifelong role model Priyanka Chopra Jonas alongside Megan Suri and ‘Adults’ star Amita Rao, Avantika admits she has yet to memorize her speech as she invites us behind the scenes for her full glam transformation. With help from makeup artist Raoul Alejandre, hairstylist Rachel Lita, and wardrobe stylist Ronnie Hart, Avantika reflects on her beauty evolution from childhood dance competitions to copying Alix Earle’s signature white eyeliner as a teen, and explains why she’s trading her usual “maximalist” style for a gorgeously comfortable Colleen Allen look. Along the way, she opens up about struggling to feel beautiful growing up, why she believes it made her a better person, and the emotional experience of wearing her first sari and seeing her mother in herself. Between tried-and-true beauty advice and reflections on this exciting chapter in her career, Avantika reveals why she loves learning from the experts behind her glam—not to mention the “sigh of relief when the Getty comes out good!” InStyle’s third annual Imagemaker Awards celebrates the stylists, makeup artists, hairstylists, designers, and other creatives behind Hollywood’s most memorable looks.
