Ah yes, the word radiant comes to mind when we see Kate Beckinsale…anywhere. And she was spotted at the jury photocall for the Cannes Film Festival looking just that in a piece from the Christian Dior Fall collection taking the ponytail to an all new level. Who said ponytails were just for Saturday mornings anymore? Certainly not our Kate. Looking stunning in a simple hairstyle with a not so simple plum colored frock Kate proves that it’s not how you style your hair, it’s how you wear it, with confidence and a gorgeous dress to boot doesn’t hurt either. What Kate is doing with this ponytail is a great thing, as it shows that yes, even a second day hair day ponytail can look both sleek AND chic, whether you are taking it day or night.
This look is easy to accomplish, particularly since you are going to skip your shampoo and do this with second day hair. First you want to get that pretty wave in the tail by keeping your hair in a bun overnight. This will allow for just the right amount of volume when and where you need it. Then, comb the remaining section on the back of your crown, and tease it lightly to give you a bit of height and volume at the back of your head, and you also want to do the same thing with your bangs, to tease them right into the ponytail like Kate has here. Use your fine tooth comb to sleekly comb your sides to the back, gathering your back crown section together with your two sides. Secure at the crown with a clear elastic, and give the back section a spritz of extra hold hairspray. Finish the look with a little spritzing of hair gloss, and you have yourself a super easy hairstyle that will look and stay great no matter WHERE you take it, to the office, or right onto the red carpet.
