Golden Globes 2015 – Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley at the 2015 Golden Globes (Nominated for Best Supporting Actress)

Styled by Ben Skervin using Vidal Sassoon

The Look: Soft and fairytale like

The Inspiration: Ben and Keira went for a soft and pretty look – a style that was perfectly suited for one of the biggest award shows of the year. Paired perfectly with Keira’s gorgeous Chanel butterfly dress, they went for a style that is simple and right out of a fairytale. Keira’s classic and captivating hairstyle is truly timeless and was finished with a beautiful Chanel diamond feather above the bun.

Here’s how Ben created Keira’s look:

1. First prep damp hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse, applying throughout the hair for lift and hold.

2 .Blow-dry the hair with a large round brush. Once hair is dry, take two square inch sections and spray each section with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray.

3. Using an inch-wide barrel curling iron, wrap the 2-inch sections of hair in a spiral down the curling iron. Slide hair off and allow to cool. Repeat this over the whole head.

4. Once the curled hair has cooled, spray Vidal Sassoon ColorFinity Dry Shampoo into the roots. Brush the hair out really well to form waves and then backcomb the roots slightly.

5. Pull hair back into a low, loose ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic. Then, twist the ponytail into a loose bun and use a combination of bobby pins and U -pins to hold the hair in place. Be sure to refine the shape of the bun with pins.

6. To finish, spray hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray to keep flyaways in place.
