Brow down! Unibrow model Sophia Hadjipanteli dazzles in rhinestone gown at Cannes Film Festival
Instagram model Sophia Hadjipanteli sparkled as she walked the Cannes red carpet last night in a stunning rhinestone dress.
The Cypriot, 25, looked glamorous in a plunging V-neck dress to attend the Killers Of The Flower Moon premiere.
The social media starlet — who has amassed more than 508,000 followers thanks to her body-positive #unibrowmovement campaign — chose a navy dress with a beaded bodice for her red carpet appearance.
The dress, which had built-in sequined gloves, also had two thigh-high slits in the front to give a flash of leg.
Sophia completed her outfit with sheer tights and black pointed heels with a bejeweled strap.

Moreover, the Instagram model proudly accentuated her unibrow by opting for a brown smokey eye and cat-eye flick.
The star swept her red hair back from her face into a low ponytail and then completed her makeup with a nude lipstick.
The University of Maryland marketing graduate student grew up in Cyprus before later immigrating to the US with her family.
In 2018, Sophia revealed on Good Morning Britain that she enjoys people’s “shock reactions” to her bold brow.
During her interview with Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh, the social media star jokingly revealed that she even named her eyebrow ‘Veronica’.
She added that her ancestry and cultural heritage inspired her to grow her eyebrows to get the unibrow she is now famous for.
Sophia said, “I’ve always been known for changing my look and doing what I really wanted
“And I think that kind of stubbornness and defiance has made me literally do what I want.”

Although Sophia is comfortable in her own skin, the model says her forehead has been met with mixed reactions in public.
She continued: “I think for me it’s about being able to walk out on a busy London street with something that I know people will have negative, shocking, positive, chilling, uncomfortable reactions to, and still be strong with who I am, and just walk down the street.
“At the end of the day, I left my house loving the way I looked and trying to stay true to who I am.”
The natural blonde, who used to shape her thick brows, said the striking look of her brows was enhanced when she tried to dye them and accidentally dyed them black.

But she was happy to have found a way to stand out: “Ever since I was little I’ve always been very different, it’s just my style or the way I acted.”
“I was always on my own when it came to school and growing up. I was very quirky and with all that I just wanted to push some kind of boundary.
“I did this before anyone really knew who I really was and it had nothing to do with attention grabbing or anything like that.”
And despite being told by trolls to pluck her eyebrows by online trolls who labeled her “disgusting” and “ugly,” she refuses to bow to any kind of pressure to pluck them, even applying castor oil to to grow them.
With every post on her Instagram, Sophia adds the hashtag #UnibrowMovement to encourage others to accept it.
“This unibrow movement really isn’t about letting go of everything, if you want to that’s totally what you can do, for me it’s about doing what really makes you happy.”
