Get the Locks Look: Naomi Watts

Is that you, Marilyn Monroe? Wearing the iconic white halter dress and racy red lips, it was the softly culred blonde coif that set tongues wagging about the Naomi Watt’s dressing up as Marilyn as her hero for the Costume Institute Gala.

(Sidenote: Do you think Marilyn Monroe was a superhero? I do!)

Luden Henriquez, stylist at the Rita Hazan Salon in Manhattan shares his thoughts, and tips on how to recreate her look.

Says Luden: She’s definitely going for the Old Hollywood/glamour girl look with the white dress and hairstyle. To achieve Naomi Watt’s look, follow these simple steps:

1) Blowdry hair with a round brush.
2) Set dry hair in hot rollers, the larger ones on the top of the head, with the smaller ones on the sides and on the back of the head. Leave curlers in for 10-15 minutes, which allows them to cool.
3) Spray hair with a strong-hold hairspray, and remove the curlers.
4) Brush the top of the hair so that it is smoother around the face and on the top of the head. 5) Use fingers to tousle the curls, and spray again with hairspray to set the hair. All done!
