Hollywood.com wants to give you the inside look—or we should say, the outside look—on how to get Katherine Heigl’s winning hair, Mary-Louise Parker’s side-swept mane and Heidi Klum’s pouty lips. We talked to their personal style gurus to get the scoop in this year’s old Hollywood-inspired looks for the Emmys.
Heigl’s Hair: ‘Grey’-t Look
Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl may have taken home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, but the real drama was all about what was adorning her anatomy. She’s already all over everyone’s best dressed list for that elegant white Zac Posen gown. She definitely looked stunning, but she had a few helping hands along the way.
Celebrity hair stylist Campbell McAuley tended to Katherine’s tresses for Emmy night, but it was not the first time he worked with her. As Hollywood’s new ‘It’ girl, Katherine has graced the covers of InStyle, Entertainment Weekly and Cosmo Girl, and has left the fate of her locks in Campbell’s hands.
On Emmy night the look was French Hollywood starlet—a modern day ‘La Vie En Rose.’
“We wanted something classic, but with a slight edgy feel to it,” Campbell said. “I did not want to make it polished, but a sculpted great hairstyle.”
What many viewers at home may not have seen on their TV screen was the fabric of her dress. Looking close-up, the material of the dress was denim and Campbell wanted to work with the same texture and try to replicate that with the hair to create a 1940s sense of style.
To get Katherine’s up ‘do, here are Campbell’s Steps:
• First: Start with Frederic Fekkai’s Coiff pre-styling UV protector on the hair, which he said not only prevents sun damage but with all the moisture in the air it still holds the style together
• Next: Use styling gel and a little gloss to shine the hair--Campbell used Velcro rollers on sections of her hair and blew dry one section at a time
• Finally: When the hair was set, he left two of the front curlers in and brushed the rest of it out and pulled it in to loose ponytail and sculptured three low buns
“I wanted it to have broken edge[s] and instead of brushing, I used my fingers. Don’t worry if your hair is falling off or flying away,” he said.
“It’s easy. The key to this was not to go elaborate. It’s easy to do, but it had a direction. A lot of times with the styles it’s complicated and she felt very comfortable on the red carpet and sold it.”
And sold it she did! Katherine took home a statue, but according to Campbell while he was helping her to get ready at her house, she actually thought her co-star Chandra Wilson would win. She said the hardest thing about the night was most likely going to be presenting. Well, she was a little off about that prediction, but was right on about her style choice.
Campbell’s styling tips:
1. “Don’t be afraid to use your hands to style your hair. You don’t need to use hair brushes. Get in there and work that sculpture.”
2. “Try Fekkai brands—they’re consumer-friendly, contain no alcohol and are great for sculpting.”
3. For Katherine’s style, give yourself 40 minutes—“the key is let the hair set when it’s in the rollers so the curl is locked in.”
