A Sensuous Silhouette

Natalie Portman looked every bit like a classic Hollywood starlet at the New York Premiere of Black Swan. Wearing a glamorous black Dior off-the-shoulder dress and gorgeous, full-bodied wavy hair, she dazzled on the red carpet.

Her stylist John D. was tempted to do an elegant updo, but succumbed to the glamour of the dress and created a look that accented its sense of drama and its sensuous silhouette. John D. started with a cocktail of Bumble and bumble's GROOMING CREME and THICKENING SPRAY for soft hold and shine, then blow dried the hair smooth using a round brush to give it 'oomph' at the root. “Natalie has naturally curly hair and it needs extra moisture to look its best,” he explains.

Next he used a 1-inch curling iron and, starting at the back of her head, curled round sections all over her head to set the volume in. John D. finished Natalie’s hair with Bumble's CLASSIC Hairspray. “It was raining during the premiere and I wanted to make absolutely sure the body stayed.” After her hair cooled, he sprayed a paddle brush with CLASSIC hairspray and used it to separate and loosen the hair, which also tamed the curls at the same time.
