For me, the best part of the Oscars was Anne Hathaway. Rachel Zoe did a tremendous job styling the movie icon, and every dress she work seemed out of a museum. She dazzled, sparkled and her hair seemed UNREAL, almost Barbie-like. Here’s how Frederic Fekkai’s celebrity stylist, Adir Abergel, transformed Ms. Hathaway’s tresses throughout the evening:

Anne Hathaway’s Red Carpet Look: An Edwardian influenced style with a bohemian flair; soft and loose with shine.

How to Get the Look:

1. Begin by parting the hair down the center and apply Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip to the hair from roots ends
2. Blow-dry the hair using Fekkai Round Brush.
3. Next, pull hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck, making sure to cover the ears.
4. Then twist the ponytail into a loose knot.
5. The key is keeping it loose for a touch of bohemian flair. It’s almost like a draping around the face with wispy pieces of hair coming out softly.
6. Finish the look by spraying the Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray.

First Dress/Presentation: Abergel was inspired by Rita Hayworth, and the classic 1940’s glamor. Ms. Hathaway wore Givenchy couture.

Get the Look:

1. Start by applying Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip to the hair from roots to end.

2. Next add the Fekkai Coiff™ Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel to the roots for volume.

3. Then blow-dry the hair using the FHI Heat Nano Salon Pro 2000 dryer.

4. Take 2″ sections and curl the hair away from the face with the FHI Heat EPS 1″ flat iron and place it into pin-curls.

5. After cooling, remove pin-curls and brush the hair with a Fekkai Classic Brush.

6. Finish the look by spraying the Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray.

The Lanvin Tux Look: Abergel was inspired by a 1960’s high ponytail to add a feminine feel to the tux.

Get the Look:

1. Backcomb the perimeter of the hair line, locking the style in with the Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray.

2. Next, pull the hair into a ponytail towards the crown, wrapping it into an elastic band.

3. Use the FHII Heat KORE 1” curling iron at the ends to create movement and bounce.

4. For added shine, apply the Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing™ Sheer Shine Mist.

5. Finish the look by wrapping a piece of hair (from underneath) around the base creating a sleek style.

Modern Grace Kelly: The high bun with a gorgeous thick braid looked very elegant on the red carpet.

Get the Look:

1. Start by creating a ponytail at the crown of the head and lock it into place.

2. Next twist the hair into a high bun and pin it into place.

3. Apply the Fekkai Coiff™ Contrôle Ironless Straightening Balm before using FHI Heat EPS 1″ flat iron to get the hair extremely smooth.

4. Then braid the hair.

5. Finish by wrapping the braided hair around the bun and pin into place.

6. Finally, apply Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray.

Letting your Hair Down: A thoroughly tousled bohemian chic style.

Get the Look:

1. Create a center part and apply Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip at the roots,

2. Then blow-dry the hair using the FHI Heat Nano Salon Pro 2000 dryer with the Fekkai Large Round Brush.

3. Using the FHI Heat Platform 1 1/4″ styling iron, curl the hair leaving the ends out.

4. To finish the look, apply the Fekkai Coiff™ Nonchalant Piecing & Forming Wax for separation and shine.

The red dress and low bun: Her Versace gown needed a counterpoint…in the form of a low, disheveled bun.

Get the Look:

1. Apply the Fekkai Coiff™ Océanique Tousled Wave Spray to the hair.

2. Using the FHI Heat Platform 1 1/4″ styling iron add waves randomly throughout the hair.

3. Pull the hair back into a low loose side bun.

4. Then spray the hair with the Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray to keep in place.
