KERRY WASHINGTON was quite the stunner at this year’s 40th anniversary of the American Music Awards as she stepped out on the red carpet in Hollywood wearing a sexy fringed yellow Stella McCartney dress and colorfully bright coral pumps. The “Scandal” actress kept the look very playful though, and with help from her hairstylist Marcus Francis, Kerry was rocking a flirty faux bob ‘do of bouncing curls!

Who better to give you the scoop on how you can achieve this look on your own than the man who helped Kerry?

“Kerry is a chameleon with her hairstyles, able to go from sleek and modern, to effortless and sexy. She is always up for doing something new and different! The lace and color for her dress at the AMAs needed the hair to be up with a softness in texture but more energy than a traditional up-do. Pinning Kerry’s hair under the create a faux bob gave the look a strong silhouette for a bold color dress,” Marcus explained the inspiration for the style.

Wow, what a stunner “Mad Men” star JESSICA PARÉ was at the 2012 Emmy Awards in her white custom-made Jason Wu Grecian gown, retro pinned up curls and full red lips! While we’ll never get our hands on her dress, The Fashion Court was able to score tips on recreating her beautiful timeless mane — straight from the source behind the look!

“Jessica’s dress was classic and made a huge statement in an effortless way. We thought the hair needed to have a polished finish and strong silhouette, keeping it timeless like that of Grace Kelly,” her hairstylist Marcus Francis explained.

“On damp hair apply Phtyo Volume Actif Spray from roots to ends.  Choose the side opposite your natural to determine which direction to style the hair. This gives you more lift at the front.

To achieve the most lasting volume for this look, you’ll want to set the hair twice. Using a small vented round brush blow dry the hair pinning each section in a pin curl. Once the whole head is set, wait ten minutes before taking out the puns and brushing out. | continue reading..

KIERNAN SHIPKA rocked her Zac Posen custom-made cocktail dress on Emmys red carpet with a sweet swept up-and-twisted hairstyle to show off the aqua-and-gold embellishments at her shoulders. “My inspiration for Kiernan was sleek and chic,” explained her hairstylist Kylee Heath.

“Starting with damp hair I worked in Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray. I blew out her hair with little to no tension to create volume. Then I brushed out her hair with the medium Mason Pearson brush. I sectioned off her hair into two sections–I started the part at the top of her head and pulled the part down behind each ear. | continue reading..

Kristen Stewart made a stunning entrance on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of “Cosmopolis” wearing a sexy siren red gown by Reem Acra. With red lathered lips and a dramatic, full lace back, the 22-year-old beauty needed the perfect hairstyle to put the finishing touch on the foxy look.

Now that you know how to recreate Kirsten Dunst‘s romantic make-up from the “On The Road” photocall during the Cannes Film Festival, why not steal her hairstyle while you’re at it?

In fact, The Fashion Court will give you two ultra-beautiful looks to choose from!

Kirsten and her hairstylist Marcus Francis were totally inspired by the beautiful flower-embellished Dolce & Gabbana headband that she wore with her white dress, and wanted to create a look that was “flirty, undone, with a bit of whimsical” to play off the head-piece.

Marcus prepped her damp hair with Phyto Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Volume Spray before blow drying with a boar’s hair round brush. He then sectioned her tresses on the side from the front with a middle part down the back in order to keep the hairlines smooth and allow for the flyaways to appear elsewhere. | continue reading..
