How to Achieve the Classic Blowout

While deep side parts and old Hollywood waves are right on-trend this season, the perfect, classic blowout never goes out of style.

Case in point? Chloe Moretz’s flawless mane at the Billboard Music Awards. Parted in the middle, just the right amount of volume, and barely bent at the ends. Jennifer Lopez also walked down the Billboard Music Awards with a smooth blowout, and model Doutzen Kroes had a modified version at the red carpet premiere of ‘Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian)’ in Cannes.

While the length of her hair was full of body and smooth, she parted it to the side, and tucked it behind her ears for a slightly sleeker look on top.

To get the classic blown-out look at home, you just need some patience and the right tools.

Clean hair blows out the best, so use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner like Drybar Happy Hour Weightless Shampoo and Conditioner.

Then, towel dry the hair, comb it out, and apply a mousse like Bumble and bumble. Thickening Full Form Mousse to add body. Then, an important product tip you’ll be thanking me for: Apply a small dollop of Living proof. Prime Style Extender–it literally doubles the life of your blowout! So if you usually have to wash after two days, this will give you four.

It’s time to dry. The higher powered the hair dryer, the easier it is to get your hair dry without frizz. Using large alligator jaw clips like Drybar Hold Me Hair Clips, section the hair into small, two-inch sections, and dry using a ceramic round brush.

Be sure to start at the roots, and as you pull the brush down through the length of the hair, follow it with the dryer, making sure the nozzle is pointing downward onto the hair to help eliminate frizz. Once you’re at the front, top layer, be sure to dry away from the face on each side.

When the hair is completely dry, tame any stray frizz with a glossing serum like Phyto Phtolisse Ultra-Glossing Finishing Serum. Then, voila! A little time and patience, and you’ve got the perfect, classic blowout.

De Grisogono Party

Alessandra Ambrosio and Stacy Keibler joined Sharon Stone at the De Grisogono Party held at the Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France yesterday evening.

Alessandra Ambrosio: The model wore an Elie Saab Spring 2013 yellow fully-embroidered gown featuring a sexy thigh-high slit styled with a signature tonal yellow belt, matching sandal and jewels by the host. Do you like the matchy matchiness of the look? Or should Alessandra incorporated another colour into this look to stop if feeling too one-note?

Stacy Keibler: The actress, who will be attending the amfAR Gala on Thursday, wore a stunning Naeem Khan gunmetal horizontal vine-beaded tulle slip gown from the designer’s Fall 2013 collection. A gunmetal Jimmy Choo ‘Tube’ clutch, sultry wavy locks and a red lips completed her look.

Both ladies wore De Grisogono jewels.

Who stands out here for you? The bold colour or the classic elegance?

Heather Graham In Max Azria - 'The Hangover III' London Premiere

Heather Graham is having quite an epic promo tour so far for her latest movie, ‘The Hangover III”, which had its UK film premiere at the Empire Cinema in London this evening.

Wearing another gown with a plunging neckline, she selected a sexy Max Azria Atelier gown which also featured sheer panels at the waist and an open back.

With all eyes sure to be fixed on her gown, Heather didn’t add too many accessories, just two gold bracelets.

Smouldering eyes and a red lip colour completed her femme fatale look.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Emilia Wickstead - Queen Elizabeth II Hosts A Garden Party At Buckingham Palace

Queen Elizabeth II hosted the Royal Garden Party held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace which was attended by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, earlier this afternoon in London.

Catherine wore a summer look to cheer up onlookers, turning to one of her favourite designers, Emilia Wickstead.

The Duchess dressed her baby bump in an elegant yellow-and-white ‘Marella’ silk coat.

Her polished look was styled with pearl-drop earrings, a Jane Corbett hat, and her signature accessories including nude L.K.Bennett pumps and a matching clutch.

This is another pretty look from the Duchess, however, the hat feels overly fussy on this occasion and I can’t help thinking that this probably should’ve been worn on Easter Sunday.

Zhang Ziyi In Chanel Couture -  'Only God Forgives' Cannes Film Festival Premiere

Zhang Ziyi, who is one of the jury members of this event, seems to be doing a good job filling the void left by her fellow jury member Nicole Kidman (where is she?).

The Asian beauty stunned wearing a Chanel gown from the Fall 2009 collection this evening on the red carpet for the ‘Only God Forgives’ Cannes Film Festival premiere.

Her strapless organza gown, fully embroidered with gold-and-black sequins, also features a flowing chiffon train and satin bow accent around the waist.

Many looks from this collection to hit the red carpet appeared sans train, but this is Cannes — a train is almost a red carpet prerequisite.

Impeccable styling, as we’ve come to expect, included Chanel Joallierie jewels, a Ferragamo ‘Faberge’ egg clutch and Jimmy Choo black peep-toes.

Barely there makeup and a simple bun completed her look.

Do you like the train, or does it feel like an after-thought?
