She’s Got the Look: Dianna Agron, Golden Globes

Last night was a good night for Glee’s Dianna Agron – she not only hit the Golden Globes red carpet looking smashing styled by Pantene’s celebrity hair stylist Danilo – she also took home a win in Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical). 

Danilo focused on complimenting Agron’s J. Mendel dress with a half-up glamour style that would look good from all angles, look loose, but wouldn’t be something she’d have to fuss with fixing – “It was very simple, very pretty hair that was clean, contemporary Hollywood glamour.”

This is a personal style I love to wear, and Danilo shares with Solessence readers how he recommends getting this look at home:

1)      Start with freshly-washed, towel-dried hair so it’s clean for styling.
2)      Mist your hair with the Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Heat Protection & Shine Spray for a conditioning base, and then spray the Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Root Lifter Spray Gel on your roots to prep hair for volume on top.
3)      Blow dry your hair, then use a dollop of the Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm to coat each section of hair before applying heat from the iron.
4)      Using a medium-to-large curling iron for the glamour set, curl hair down and under before setting to cool.
5)      Once hair has cooled in the set (10-15 minutes), release the curls and brush through to reveal voluminous waves.
6)      Lightly spread more of the Smoothing Balm through your waves as needed to clean up the slides and tame fly-aways.
7)      Part your hair to the side of your preference, smoothing hair back on each side with your fingers, and pin back with your hair pieces.
8)      Pull the remaining hair forward, shaping hair to appear full out of the hair pieces so the waves fall in front of your shoulders for a soft, elegant look. 
9)      Use a finishing spray like the Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Professional Level Style Shaping Hairspray on the front and sides of hair to lock in loose curls. Leave the back curls alone so they keep their flowing movement.

Zoya Nails at St. Pucchi 25th Anniversary Bridal Runway

The Look at St. Pucchi? Romance!

Zoya Nail Polish graced the hands at St. Pucchi’s 25th Anniversary Bridal Runway show.   Zoya’s manicurist Sunshine chose two different silvers (Trixie, left and Laney, right) to highlight the beauty of the dresses:

Trixie is described as ” Stunning light silver with a sparkling metallic foil finish. A chic and edgy shade that adds a spark to your look.”  

Of Laney, Sunshine described the selection as this: “St Pucchi bridal gowns are very whimsical so Laney went extremely well because it also has that same type of pretty (silver metallic duochrome with hint of green). Some of the gowns also had a silver/lavender hue to them so when put together they were match made in heaven.”

I can attest that the nails were very eyecatching and the Laney often pulled other tones in.  Check out this quick video on the preview to the show with Rani Totman and her concept of St. Pucchi beauty.  The full collection will be up tomorrow.

The above last three are named after Hollywood startlets. The kicker to this collection is the addition of a top coat that adds fiber, going for a tweed-like effect.
