Turns out Leonardo DiCaprio didn't fly someone from Australia out to do his eyebrows for the Oscars
UPDATE: March 1, 2017, 3:06 p.m. EST: The Sydney Morning Harald has updated their story with the following statement: "Representatives for DiCaprio say Hamilton was not a member of his Oscars glam squad and he did not fund her flying visit to the US."
Can you believe what happened at the Academy Awards?
We are talking, of course, about Leonardo DiCaprio's eyebrows. They looked great. And you'd hope so, because the actor flew his eyebrow artist, Sharon Lee, out from Australia for the occasion according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Apparently, she did his BFF Tobey McGuire's brows, too.
According to Lee's website, the Brow Wow package includes, "an eyelash tint as well as a glycolic infused collagen eye treatment plus a full heated paraffin hand treatment followed by a light eye makeup application." Plus a complimentary drink and nibbles!
Lee's services typically go for $200 (USD), but that's nothing compared to all the other expenses involved in plucking someone from across the globe for a pre-show beauty routine.
Lee flew out of Qantas International airport on Feb 23.
She enjoyed a glass of bubbly on the plane, as one should when remembering that The Revenant was a thing that happened to us.
Lee saw multiple red carpets and brunched.
Finally, it was time for the big show.
Here's a closeup of her handiwork:
And then, approximately two days later, she left. A flight between Los Angeles and Australia takes approximately 14 hours, by the way.
Although we do not have actual footage of Leo getting his eyebrows plucked, we can assume it looked a bit like this.
Quite the job.
