Arrugó la nariz. - She wrinkled his nose.
If you look up arrugar in our dictionary you will see that it can be used reflexively.
Me arrugé la nariz. (That is how Spanish usually tells whose nose...by the reflexive pronoun. I wrinkled my nose.)
Te arrugaste la nariz. - You wrinkled your nose.
Se arrugó la nariz.- He/she/it/ wrinkled his/her/its nose.
However, when someone is wrinkling someone else's nose the reflexive can't be used.
In the transitive sentence, where someone wrinkles someone else's nose you get whose from context, or you add (de él).
In the Word of the Day sentence you would have to get it from context. (I'm not sure how you wrinkle someone else's nose anyway. Sounds a little odd.)
Ella arrugó la nariz de él.
Body parts are often listed as "the" nose etc... as shown in your title. I wrinkled the nose. Whose nose? That depends on context, my friend.
