INSIDE SCOOP "The look tonight was Hollywood noir," said Hayek's hairstylist Robert Vetica. "We added a bit of length to complement the noir vibe." After blowdrying the hair with a round brush, Vetica curled two-inch sections with a small curling iron, making sure to twist away from the face. "I kept the curls tight knowing the length would help it drop into a loose wave," he adds. To finish, Vetica brushed through the spirals, teased the roots, and misted with hairspray.

"Because the jewelry was so special, the hair had to be understated," hairstylist Enzo Angileri told us. Before pinning and twisting the hair into an undone bun, he spritzed on Moroccanoil Frizz Control to tame flyaways and fuzz. "I wanted to choose my own messy pieces," he said.
