    Get the Look: Christina Ricci at the Met Costume Institute Gala

    Get the Look: Christina Ricci at the Met Costume Institute Gala
    Christina Ricci's classic glam look was definitely was one of our faves at the Met Costume Institute Gala last week, and as you know she was also one of our gals for Look of the Week for this look as well. We have to give major props to Christina's fabulous makeup artist for the evening: Vanessa Scali (fyi, Scali is America Ferrera's go-to makeup artist - she has created some of Ferrera's best beauty looks). We loved Christina's clean glowing skin, luscious lashes and rosy pout. And we have to say, that we were totally digging Ricci's sheer red and coral Givenchy gown, which brought a little bit of superhero-ness to the ensemble. Plus, our buddy celebrity hair stylist and expert, Adir Abergel was the man behind Ms. Ricci's sleek pony. We caught up with Adir to get his hair beauty breakdown, so we can create the look ourselves:

    Adir was inspired by the classic Audrey Hepburn ponytail - pulled back at the crown and tucked under. Adir mentions, "I wanted to add strength and sleekness to convey the power of a super hero."

    To Get the Look:
    "I started out by applying Frederic Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump on Christina's damp hair from the roots to the ends. [Frederic Fekkai's All-Day Hair Plump is an ultra-luxurious, leave-in treatment that plumps hair to reveal healthy, thick, silky smooth hair.]

    Then, I blow-dried her hair with my T3 Hairdryer. After blow-drying, I applied Frederic Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Creme for that beautiful glossy mirror look, and pulled hair into a high ponytail. I then tucked the pony under for a finished look.

    To make sure Christina's hairstyle would last through the night, I sprayed Frederic Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray and applied the drier for a strong hold.

    And to complete the look, I sprayed Frederic Fekkai Glossing Sheer Shine Mist To Go for a sleek finish." [Frederic Fekkai's Glossing Sheer Shine Mist is an ultra-lightweight mist that provides long-lasting shine to finished styles. Smoothes frizz and controls fly-aways for a polished appearance.]
