Charlize Theron dazzles in a soft, romantic updo at the 2012 Golden Globes. A shiny diamond headband tucked into her hair ties her whole look together, and adds youthful elegance.
Emma Stone channeled classic Hollywood glamour and looked every bit the leading lady with perfectly sculpted retro-style copper waves at the 2017 Academy Awards.
Top Tip: To achieve S-curls like Emma, always curl hair away from the face with a 1-inch curling iron. Then, remember to brush through lightly with your fingers to soften the effect.
Jennifer Lopez opted for a sweeping slicked-back wet look hairstyle for the 2014 American Music Awards, and the stunning result is a high-octane, glossy finish that accentuates her highlights and cheekbones.
Top Tip: For the perfect wet look, use a volumising mousse that gives your hair lots of body and shine, and tidy up with hair gel. Make sure to tuck your hair behind your ears!
