A glowing Karlie Kloss debuted her baby bump on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet sporting a slicked-back ponytail tied with a black bow. Global Dyson Hair Ambassador Irinel De Leon (@hairinel) was the stylist behind the look and she shares paying homage to the night’s theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A line of Beauty” through simplicity was the name of the game for Karlie’s look.

 

“Karlie’s custom Loewe Dress is very symmetrical with strong shoulders and adorned with beautiful pearls accentuating her baby bump and neck. Therefore, we wanted to keep the hair simple by pulling it off her face and shoulders” shared Irinel. “The texture of the ponytail itself is very French and undone; an ode to Karl and Chanel and its effortlessness and sophistication” she added.

 

Read on for how Irinel created Karlie’s sleek yet textured pony using Living Proof and Dyson products.

HOW-TO STEPS

1

Irinel prepped Karlie’s damp hair by spraying Living Proof Style Lab® Blowout from the midshaft to ends. This leave-in provides grip and protects the hair from heat. 

2

She then used the Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer (Professional Edition with Styling Concentrator attachment) to blow the hair dry using medium heat and a round brush. 

3

After the hair was dry, Irinel then clipped in hair extensions throughout.

4

Irinel sprayed Living Proof Style Lab® Flex Hairspray all over then brushed through with a boar bristle brush.

5

She created waves in Karlie’s hair using the Dyson Corrale™ hair styler straightener with the heat setting at 410 degrees.

6

She then brushed the hair back into a mid-pony and secured with an elastic. 

7

She set the look by spraying the ponytail with Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray to give the ponytail extra volume and texture. 

8

Irinel finished the look by applying a couple of drops of the Living Proof No Frizz Vanishing Oil throughout the ponytail for a high-shine finish.

The look was completed with a black Jennifer Behr bow.
