“This is Erin’s dream come true,” Ben confirmed.
Erin revealed Barrymore even served as inspiration for a unique hairstyle when she was high school.
“You were seriously my all-time favorite in high school. I cut my hair to look like you,” Erin said before referencing her current pixie style and calling it, “the grow out from my Drew Barrymore cut.”
Interestingly enough, Ben said the short haircut caught his attention when the couple, whocelebrated their 14-year wedding anniversaryin November first met, one another.
“It’s a big day,” said Ben of the serendipity moment.
In anInstagram reelshared in November, Erin revealed that when she found out she and Ben would be presenting the male vocalist of the year award, she only had 12 days to find a gown for the night. That’s when she looked to none other than her “style icon” for assistance.
“I am ignorant about fashion, frankly. We are not red carpet people,” Erin wrote.
When her original dress didn’t go as planned, she reached out to theWedding Singeractress. “I looked up to her for so many years! I nervously reached out to her to ask: Where do I begin to find a dress? I found one I loved but couldn’t find my size,” Napier explained. “Drew asked [fashion brand Marchesa] to help me, and help they did.”
In the end, she wrote, “I’ve never felt so lovely and fancy and outside my norm. It helped me feel like I belonged when I was so nervous.”
