The stars were out at the annual Met Ball at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, to help celebrate and raise funds for the opening of the Museum’s 2010 Costume Institute Exhibit. Between thunderstorms, the weather was humid and hair stylists were challenged to create glamorous looks that were not only beautiful but also frizz-free. Hairstylist Mark Townsend created Rachel Weisz’ hairdo for the ball.

The Hairstyle & Inspiration: “The theme of this year’s Met Ball was “American Woman,” and after seeing Rachel’s Oscar de la Renta dress I knew that we should keep her hair down and sexy.

How To: Hair Tutorial

I started by adding a few drops of Moroccanoil Treatment to her hair, to condition and strengthen it while reducing drying time. This helped ensure a shiny, healthy look. Then I blow-dried her hair with a medium-sized, round brush.

Jeannia prepped Lily’s skin with CHANEL Sublimage Fluid. She wanted to keep the skin dewy and fresh, so as a base she used CHANEL Hydramax + Active Tinted Moisturizer in Sand. On her lids, she blended the deep brown and silver powder shades from the CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes.

Emma Watson was wearing CHANEL Beauté at the 2010 Costume Institute Gala, Monday, May 3, 2010, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, NY. Makeup Artist Fulvia Farolfi created Emma’s makeup look for CHANEL. Beauty Inspiration: “Emma wore a sculpted, one shoulder white gown with a tight waist, beautiful draping and bold zip in the back. Quite modern, yet classic. We felt that makeup called for a smoky eye and a warm skin tone, soft cheeks and pale lips. She wanted to look modern and diversify from her usual romantic look.”
