Kristen Stewart wore her waves over to one side; Emma Stone and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley went for a half-up, half-down look; while Leighton, Cameron and Reese wore theirs with a centre parting. The styles also varied in texture with Cameron’s looking the curliest, followed by Emma and Reese who had a definite wave, while the rest had a whisper of a bend in the hair. What every style did have in common was effortlessness paired with an abundance of texture, like they had just woken up and headed straight out the door.
You’ll need tongs, salt spray and hair spray in your arsenal if you want to recreate the look. Wash and dry your hair, adding salt spray for texture; if your hair isn't naturally wavy tong random sections (so it’s not too neat), let the curls cool and set then gently comb through with your fingers to loosen, finally mist with hairspray. Remember: the look shouldn’t take you too long, it’s meant to be effortless and undone.
These stars know that bed head hair is the easiest and coolest way to play down a party dress. With a mixture of sparkle, animal print and lace on display at the awards, up-dos would have looked too try-hard. Cameron’s hair looked most done, but then her outfit was the most minimal – a simple black playsuit. The key to party dressing is balance and these stars got it just right. Remember this for all those summer weddings you have in your diary.
