Robin Wright’s character on Netflix smash hit House of Cards is calm and cool and that is exactly what Wright exuded on last night’s Emmy red carpet in a jaw-dropping, custom Ralph Lauren backless pantsuit. Her hairstyle, courtesy of Celebrity Stylist Paul Norton for Joico, perfectly complimented her strong and elegant look. “The suit, the accessories, the Cartier jewels, the hair, the confidence!” says Norton. “She looked so powerful and sexy. Truly, who wouldn’t want to be Robin at that moment?”
The style of Wright’s suit was 40s meets 70s, Norton wanted to evoke the strength of the women in those decades who were powerful and confident. “We decided that a strong shape, directed off her face, was the best choice for the evening,” said Norton.
Get Robin Wright’s Emmy Hairstyle:
Step one: To achieve the look, Paul first shampooed and conditioned Robin’s hair with Joico Color Endure Violet Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner to ensure that her blonde tone would be cool in front of the cameras.
Step two: Next, he combined small amounts of Joico Power Whip Whipped Foam with the Joico Heat Set Blow-Out Perfecting Cré¨me and worked the mixture through Robin’s hair roots to ends.
Step three: He dried top sections with a small, round, boar-bristle brush to create volume, and switched to a small Mason Pearson brush to smooth the side and back sections.
Step four: When the hair was dry, he applied Joico Texture Boost Dry Spray Wax to his hands, emulsified and tousled the product into the hair to create separation and a natural texture effect.
Step five: Finally, he secured the sides with Joico’s Flip Turn Volumizing Finishing Spray, and then spritzed his own fingers and “pinched” random sections to create definition throughout the longer top sections.
