Barrymore is often makeup-free before taping her talk show in New York City. However, on February 22, the natural beauty felt extra special when arriving at the CBS Broadcast Center. Barrymore prepared for the gusty ride to the office by wearing printed pajama pants, high-top sneakers, and two layers of thick sweaters.

The Little Girl Lost author topped her relaxed look with undone locks and a beanie hat. Barrymore rushed into the arms of her coworkers and team, who handed her a gold birthday hat. Her beloved mixed-breed mid-sized dog, Douglas, wore a navy bandana and took the excitement in stride.

Fans know Drew Barrymore for her genuine personality and the raw moments she shows on social media and her talk show. The Charlie’s Angels star authentically shows up in front of cameras, no matter her level of makeup or style.

In addition to Barrymore’s birthday celebration with her “Drew Crew,” the Rebel Homemaker author took a spin in the Wienermobile on her birthday. According to the Independent, she explained, “My whole life I’ve been waiting for this,” when coworker Ross Matthews surprised her with the hot-dog-shaped vehicle outside of CBS Broadcast Center.
