Get the Look: Emily Blunt’s Sleek Side Chignon

In our opinion, when all else fails, go for the sleek chignon. It’s a classic style that women of any age can wear, for any occasion. Just take a look at how gorgeous Emily Blunt looked at the NYC premiere of Edge of Tomorrow. We love how makeup artist Jenn Streicher decided to clash her look a bit with hot pink lipstick against a cherry red Prada gown, and how hairstylist Laini Reeves kept her hair classic with a simple side bun. Whether you’re headed to a formal event or need some wedding look inspiration, this style is definitely worth bookmarking. Here, Reeves gives us a break down to get the look at home.

    Mousse

    "First, I prepped Emily’s wet hair with René Furterer Vegetal Mousse and gave it a blowout with a soft-bristle round brush to smooth it out and get a sleek finish," says Reeves.

    Finishing Spray

    "After misting hair with René Furterer Vegetal Finishing Spray, using a soft-bristle flat brush, I brushed the hair into a low side part, brushing hair over to the right side."

    Styling Wax

    "Next, I secured the ponytail with a hair band," she says. "I lightly sprayed the hair with Vegetal Finishing Spray for extra hold and used a small amount of René Furterer Styling Wax to smooth any flyaways. When styling your own look, always make sure everything is perfect before preparing the bun."

    Finishing Spray

    "To create texture, I lightly back-combed the ponytail, making the hair easier to secure. I then sprayed it again to add more hold," Reeves explains. "I twisted the ponytail at the nape of the neck behind the ear into a bun and secured it with bobby pins. To finish, I sprayed the bun one last time with Vegetal Finishing Spray for lasting hold."
