Ariana From Landman Is A Stunner In Real-Life (& Has An Incredible Wardrobe)

The character played by Paulina Chavez on Taylor Sheridan's "Landman," Ariana, isn't exactly a glamorous one. As a newly single mother and widow of the less prosperous side of the oil industry (and subsequently a new millionaire), she's not accustomed to Sephora sprees, weekly blowouts, and long microdermabrasion sessions, even if she now has the budget for them. Consequently, she's usually seen somewhat ungroomed, with minimal makeup, natural brows, and a fuss-free curly lob.

There's nothing wrong with the natural look, and Chavez rocks it well on the small screen, but away from the set, she seems to enjoy a little luxury a lot more than her TV counterpart. Her off-duty looks are characterized by glowing skin, perfect waves, bold lips, and defined eyes that turn everything from jeans and tees to red carpet couture into a style statement.

Whether she's perfectly accessorized street-side or expertly painted for an award show, one thing is for certain: Chavez is always gorgeous.

When it comes to awards, premiers, and other high-profile events, relative newcomer Chavez has proven time and again that she can glam it up as well as a lifelong veteran of the red carpet. At the 2025 premier of "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip," she was a far cry from Alexander's sister in raspberry lips, defined brows, and impeccable contour. A slicked-back updo with carefully curled, face-framing tendrils polished off the look.

But no glam squad is necessary to make Chavez stunning. Even a day at the races becomes a beauty moment for her, as evidenced by Instagram photos from a 2025 outing to Austin's Circuit of the Americas that put her satin skin and shimmery berry lips on full display. The colorful baseball cap advertising her passion for Mexican soccer only emphasized the gorgeous waves that magically stood their ground against the Texas heat.

Paulina Chavez's sense of style extends far past her face; her outfits are jawdroppers, too. The leopard number she donned for the 2025 amFAR Las Vegas fundraising gala is a perfect example of her signature blend of classic and modern styles. The asymmetrical neckline and mermaid silhouette keeps it from looking too '80s, and paired with black embellished heels, it's just daring enough to work.

Chavez's version of "I just threw this on" is no less admirable. An Instagram carousel from a day in February 2026 shows what appears to be a more casual Chavez in jeans and a tee, but a closer look at the details reveals a work of fashion genius. The jeans are distressed and flared, the artfully wrinkled top falls somewhere between a mock and a boat neck, and even the barely visible socks peeking out above chunky black leather heels are patterned in gray buffalo check. Topped by a pendant necklace, aviator sunnies, and an accordion headband holding back tousled bedhead, no Paramount costume designer could have done better.
