Hair How-to
TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist Mara Roszak has provided simple how-to’s on how to get Zoe’s super-chic up-do: “We wanted to to have an editorial look because she was wearing Givenchy. We also didn’t want the hair and make up to compete with the dress so we created an elegant but effortless look.”
Apply TRESemmé Naturals Lightweight Mousse all over damp hair and blow dry away from the face with volume, flipping head upside down when the hair is almost dry to finish. Separate the crown from the rest of the hair and pull back sides and back into a tight ponytail. Pull the hair almost all the way through, leaving the ends tucked into the pony tail holder to create a half bun shape. Let a few pieces in the back fall out for a messier look. Tease the top of the hair, pull back to meet the back and pin, criss-crossing the bobby pins for a secure hold. Spray all over with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray. Spray hairspray on finger tips and gently pull the hair around the face with your fingers to loosen the hair, giving it an organic effortless look.
Love it or hate it?
See the dress!
it’s so ugly and strange i kind of like it!
hahahaha hilarious!!
This dress is STUNNING….as soon as I saw her, I yelled at the tv “OMBRE!!!” This will definately be in my TOP FIVE!
I usually don’t like these “strange” kind of dresses but I really love this one. Perhaps I am just a sucker for purple.
I love the eye makeup too!
The dress color is gorgeous on her.
I love the top of the dress, loathe the bottom!!
Loving the lashes too!!
Second the dress comment!
not a fan of the dress.
Love the makeup but the dress is so no. The bodice looks like if it belongs to a different dress, and the bottom looks too costumey and too can-can.
eye make-up wonderful….
the style of dress: not great
the colour of dress: fantastic on her!
I definitely agree with you. The shape is unflattering, and the disco ball top is almost worse then the pinata bottom! The color is GORGEOUS, though!
it started to look really good until the bottom of her dress turned into a pinata
Her face looks lovely but that dress would look so much better without all te fluffy stuff. It’s obnoxious.
OMG she killed Barney!
she looks beautiful, but i feel like the dress’ top and bottom dont match. its beautiful none the less, but just a lil odd to me.
and i love the colour!
no on the dress…yes on the makeup!
She looks wonderful but the bottom of that dress is killing me with the ugly.
This dress is terrible but her makeup is cute.
Yikesss! Her dress was beautiful until I scrolled down all the way! The upper part of her dress is gorgeous, the bottom in my opinion, no so much, but it does remind me of MAC blush ombre loll
hate the dress. she looks stunning though.
i like it, its sorta ugly-beautiful =]
She is a classic beauty. I love the top of the dress and the color concepts. However the bottom of the dress seems a bit heavy.
The makeup looks gorgeous up close, but a bit boring from a distance. The dress… I LOVE IT! It’s absolutely stunning!
The first time I saw this Givenchy dress, I knew SOMEONE had to wear it to the Awards!
Refreshing to see someone embracing daring Paris couture.
I think I’d like the dress if it was short & didn’t have the ruffles.
Beautiful face and make-up. Hideous dress. Looks like a first year design student put it together in an hour or so before the show.
Oh. The earrings are stunning. Pity about the outfit.
Nice, this is FUN! Very good, something special, not so boring. Risky, but successful, she is perfect.
I want to love that dress, I really do! But I cannot get down with it. Her makeup is flawless though, she looks so amazing that it makes me want to buy all those products lol.
Oh goodness. The dress is like a disco ball, wearing a wrap skirt, that happened to have stepped through a field of multicolored cottom that got stuck to the hem,
This dress is awful. Simply awful. She is a gorgeous girl, this dress totally took away from that.
this is definitely my favorite dress!
pretty but the dress is a no no.
When I saw her dragging this dress behind her on stage it looked like she was being mobbed by purple, lavendar and lilac tribbles.
LOL pinata!!!
(but I like her makeup)
Throw the dress out!!! WTF was she thinking??!!!
I love Zoe.
Normally, this dress would be too busy for my taste, but I like this. I think she was really able to pull this off and I love the colors.
this is the best i’ve seen her look actually. they sculpted her nose really well!
oh when i saw her on stage, i couldn’t look away.. she was GORGEOUS!!! <3
