Get the Look: Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow at the Grammys

Nicole Kidman

David Babaii for WildAid’s Hair Polish, Blow Dryer and Styling Iron created this sleek, elegant look for the 2009 Grammys. Celebrity hairdresser David Babaii applied a small amount of Hair Polish to wet hair and created a center part. Next, he used his David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment to finish the drying process with a large paddle brush to smooth hair straight. Avoid any metal coated brushes as these bristles only generate unnecessary heat and will cause hair to be baked not dried. Hair was sectioned first: top, sides and back. Hair was dried by starting at the nape area first and continued with each section until the entire head was dry. Apply an additional amount of Hair Polish prior to using a styling iron. To finish, he used his David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron with Tourmaline and Ceramic technology and divided hair into three parts again: top, sides and back. Starting at the nape area and taking small sections at a time, comb the hair before running the flat iron through. Complete each section until you have straightened every strand. Try this tip: By warming the Hair Polish in your palms before applying, actually boosts its ability to seal the cuticle, while repairing and strengthening each strand.


Gwyneth Paltrow

David Babaii created this effortless yet sexy red carpet look using his David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with multiple settings for constant temperature control. Before drying, he lightly misted hair with his Bohemian Beach Spray and created a center part. Using his hands instead of a brush he created a subtle soft texture. After hair was completely dry, David used his David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron to achieve a soft bend at the ends. He sectioned the hair into 3parts: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free. Starting at the nape and working up and to the sides, he took large strands and created a slight bend to the hair at the ends with the Styling Iron. Alternate the direction of the curls if you wish to achieve a less structured pattern. Inside tip: One of the biggest mistakes women make when doing their hair by not sectioning the hair before they start. Having control over your hairstyle at all times is vital. Also, it is important to invest in a good ceramic and tourmaline Styling Iron.

Get the Look: Angelina at the SAG Awards


Angelina looked STUNNING in a blue Max Azria gown. Here are the deets on her look:
Hair
To capture Angelina Jolie's effortlessly elegant style, hairstylist David Babaii blow dried wet tresses to create a shiny, frizz-free foundation. Next, he randomly curled her entire chocolate mane to form beautifully tousled waves. To ensure volume at the root area, spray on David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier. Slightly back comb sections of hair and smooth out with a brush to achieve desired height. Create a low bun at the nape of the neck by gathering sections of curls and securing with black bobby pins. Finish with David Babaii for WildAid Mise En Plis Extra Hold Style.
Makeup
Celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton wanted to create a '60s look and chose to focus on Angelina’s eyes by applying lots of eyeliner and mascara. She used a liquid eyeliner (Lancôme Artliner in Noir) just above the lash line. To compliment Angelina’s eye color and to make her eyes really stand out, she applied a bluish grey eyeshadow (YSL Ombre Solo Double Effect Eyeshadow in #3 Blue Silk) to the eyelid. Finally, she applied several coats of Lancôme Courbe Virtuôse Mascara in Black. Mary added a touch of pink to the apples of the cheeks using Shu Uemura blush in M Pink 31. To create ultra-shiny and luminous lips, Mary used Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Rose Jolie.

I thought Ange looked THE BEST she's ever looked. But Brad? Lose the porn 'stache, mmkay? Thanks.

Golden Globes Hair: Angelina Jolie's Undone 'Do

The inspiration behind Angelina's 'do was light, airy and natural locks. Celebrity hairstylist David Babaii accomplished this look with three simple tools: a blow-dryer, round brush and the his signature Bohemian Beach Spray ($12).

After blow-drying her hair with his David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer ($120) and a round brush, David took large sections twisting the ends around the brush and spraying each with his Bohemian Beach Spray.

Using the dryer's low speed, he gave each section a blast of warm air to set.

After cooling, the section was gently unwrapped from the brush and additional Bohemian Beach Spray was scrunched in to give volume and lift.

The result is a look that is not overdone or un-natural and is easy to achieve at home. Ange does the down 'do well, n'est-ce pas? She knows what works and she sticks with it!
