Kate Beckinsale is just one of those ladies that never seems to break a sweat or have a hair out of place. And no matter how busy this mom seems to be, she always looks super fabby which is one of the MANY reasons she has been dubbed the “Sexiest Mom Alive” by Esquire Magazine. And it may be for days like this that contribute to her uber mom sex appeal, as Kate was seen out and about in the Hills of Beverly treating herself to a spa day and some retail therapy along Rodeo Drive. Oh if only we all couldn’t take the same kind of time. Well, the truth is that looking like Kate is not all about spa days and Rodeo sprees, as this look is relatively easy to accomplish. And hey, if you want to be as bold as Kate, toss on a pair of skinny leather pants and you will definitely be turning some heads as well.
To get the look that Kate has here, you want to start off with the same layered cut that she has here. Ask your stylist for large concave layers around your face as these layers will be used to frame your face and to also provide some volume to your luscious locks. Sleek and sexy with just a smidge of volume is the look you are going for here, so use some straightening serum on towel dried hair, and blow dry your hair with a flat paddle brush pulling your hair straight as you dry. Use a flat iron to sleek your hair out as much as you can. When you are flat ironing, you want to pin the top sections of your hair up first, and flat iron the bottom sections for maximum fullness and all over straightness.
After you have flat ironed your entire head, spritz your hair with some anti-humectant. Immediately following this, you will want to flat iron your hair again, and this will lock in the humectant, and give your hair some beautiful shine. It will also seal the cuticle and ensure that your hair stays straight and glam all night long. If you want to add just a hint of volume around your face, you can curl the ends of your layers with a wide barrel curling iron, this will still maintain that gorgeous shine, and give you a little bit of a flirty wave that will turn heads all day or all night long.
