You’ve seen her—and chances are, you’ve been keeping up. Thai-British actress Becky Armstrong has been crowned as the it girl to watch lately—and it’s only right she gets her flowers. Between her breakout role as Mon in GAP: The Series and being newly minted as Nanno in Girl from Nowhere: The Reset, it comes as no surprise that she has the zeitgeist in a firm grip and then some. As she steps into an eerier, more psychologically charged chapter of the fan-favourite series, our screens have been graced by Armstrong’s impressive iteration on the anti-heroine’s pin-straight hair and that distinctly maniacal laugh.
And although Girl from Nowhere: The Reset signals a darker—yet equally enthralling—turning point for Armstrong, the actress’s trajectory has been unfolding well before her embodiment of Nanno. With acting, singing and modelling under her belt at 23, her role in GAP: The Series placed her at the forefront of Thailand’s GL wave, garnering international buzz as well as a fiercely loyal audience. The same momentum translates seamlessly into her beauty repertoire.
Undoubtedly so, it doesn’t take a seasoned sleuth to realise Armstrong plays the beauty spectrum with ease. From a polished soft glam that she frequently sports on the red carpet to an edgier, more lived-in look, she rarely concedes in making the moment her own. While her portrayal as Nanno might have delivered the ever-so effortless blunt bob we’re used to, Armstrong moves between displaying her waist-skimming lengths or alternating to a more structured ‘do.
As it stands, the sensation that is Becky Armstrong leaves no stone unturned on the beauty front. Without further ado, marvel at some of our April cover star’s most captivating hair and make-up moments.

A lived-in liner
Grunge girls, this one’s for you. The Girl from Nowhere: The Reset star trades in the understated for a softly smudged eye, pairing impeccably with an effortlessly sculpted ‘do that proves her range doesn’t just stop at acting.

Pink and precise
Armstrong’s rouged cheeks do the heavy lifting—sans a trace of blush blindness. A blurry pout and soft definition across the eyes follow suit, making for an intentionally pared-back moment.

Ornate opulence
All-out adornment takes centre stage, and we’re definitely not ones to complain. A precise red lip finds its match in the blooms woven through her slicked-back tresses.

Oh, the glow
A flushed visage and a seamlessly pulled back bun work in tandem to lend the look the perfect tinge of romance with wisps of face-framing strands that only add to the swoon.
