I cannot even begin to verbalize how much I adore this lady! It was the 2nd time I worked with Reese and when she showed me her gorgeous canary Nina Ricci dress I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I didn’t want to do any sort of serious hairdo with this bright, fun, young, modern and perfect dress and neither did Reese, she is actually the one that suggested down and straight. One recommendation I added was to give her shorter and fuller bangs to compliment her heart shaped face and give a simple hair style a little edge. I think this is one of those red carpet moments where all the stars aligned and the hair, gorgeous makeup by and a stunning dress really work with and compliment each other.

The only real trick I used for this look was using a heat protectant spray in Reese’s hair. I had just discovered Vavoom Gold Heat Iron-In Control so I sprayed 3 inch sections of her hair with it before running a flat iron over the section. This spray has gold in it which works as a heat conductor to evenly distribute the heat and also seal in incredible shine. I wanted her to move freely through out the night so to finish I sprayed hairspray on a natural bristle eyebrow brush (the kind that looks like a toothbrush) and ran the brush through her bangs to keep them parted to the side and to brush down any flyaway hairs. As soon as Reese hit that red carpet I couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear! I am such a firm believer in not overdoing red carpet looks and staying true to yourself and your style. This look also proves that sometimes simpler is better!
