There’s a reason why I love award shows that goes way beyond accolades and acceptance speeches. All that is great, but my true passion is fashion and beauty and this year the Emmy Awards were full of gorgeous gowns and—of course, beauty looks. One hairstyle that definitely stood out to me was Abigail Spencer’s old Hollywood inspired hairstyle. Check it out below.
I love the way her deep parted hair almost frames those gorgeous drop earrings. It’s a perfect red carpet look because it’s classic yet modern. Celebrity stylist, Ann Co Tran created this Katherine Hepburn inspired look. Love this look as much as I do? Luckily, Tran has brought us her tips on how to create this gorgeous look. Check out her tips below and be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section.
- I wanted to keep Abigail’s look beautiful, modern and Timeless (Abigail’s new TV show)!
- First, I washed and conditioned her hair with the Infusium 23 Repair + Renew Shampoo and Conditioner.
- Next, I dried her hair with the PRO Beauty Tools 1875W Ionic AC Motor; once her hair was 80% dry, I sprayed Infusium 23 Repair + Renew Leave-In Treatment all over to give her hair texture.
- I then sprayed the Infusium 23 Repair +Renew Heat Tamer from mid shaft to ends to protect against the heat.
- I smoothed her hair out with a round brush to get that beautiful shine from root to ends.
- Since we went for a modernized 40’s look, I used the PRO Beauty Tools 1” Curling Iron, starting at the nape using horizontal sections and working my way up to the mid crown. I alternated curling the sections from left to right, then right to left to emulate finger waves.
- For the crown and sides I switched to the PRO Beauty Tools 1 ¼ Curling Iron for bigger curls, still using the same technique as before. Once I got around her face, I made sure to curl away in order to frame it and not hide it.
- After, I broke up the curls using my hands and then secured the style with hair spray. Lastly, I pulled one side back behind her ear, and kept the other free to complete the look!
