As for hair and makeup, the 32-year-old athlete went full glam. Her dirty blond locks were styled in larger-than-life beach waves that screamed old Hollywood. Hawkins’ sported a glowy complexion that was illuminated by rosy pink cheeks and a gorgeous contour.

Perfectly complementing the tones of her dress, Hawkins’ eyeshadow was a golden mauve, complete with a shimmering champagne inner corner and arched brows. On her lips, the former Utah State All-American wore a matching glossy red-mauve lip.

While we can’t see Hawkins’ shoes, we can assume she is wearing heels to elevate her look.
