Kate Bosworth’s dramatic white one-sleeved, back-baring Alexandre Vauthier
Couture dress isn’t the only thing that caught our eye at Saturday's Hammer
Museum Gala in the Garden, which she attended with hubby Michael Polish. Her
wavy ponytail provided the perfect counterpoint to the glamorous gown, tapping
into the California-cool aesthetic she’s epitomized since Blue Crush.
Celebrity hairstylist Bridget Brager — who also styles the manes of stars
like Kiernan Shipka, Ali Larter and Mindy Kaling — is responsible for the
ponytail, which she calls "understated. The dress and jewels were such a
statement and so beautiful that I wanted to keep on the cool side with a
textured pony," says Brager. "She was going to a cocktail party, after all."
To start, Brager prepped Bosworth’s damp hair with O&M Atonic Thickening
Spray. Then, "I dried her hair so as much natural texture would come out [as
possible] — a lot of scrunching the hair up and over from side to side." Once it
was dry, the stylist used a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron on random sections
of hair, curling them horizontally up and then down on the same section, "so no
curl pattern was the same. I wanted lived-in hair."
After curling, she sprayed Bumble & Bumble City Swept Finish onto the
lengths of the hair and shook her mane well. "Next, I secured the ponytail with
a bungie just under the crown of the head, and wrapped a piece of hair around
it, securing it with a hairpin." Brager used a light spritz of Ellnet hair spray
to keep everything in place. Voila — an ultra-cool ponytail that can go from
lunch to cocktail party.
