Jennifer Lawrence’s Youthful Updo

Jennifer Lawrence won big at the 2013 Oscars—she took home the Academy Award for Best Actress, after all! But she also won the BTC membership vote for one of the top beauty looks of the night. We teamed up with Farouk System Inc. Global Board Artist Anna Cantu to get the how-to for Jennifer’s ethereal, beautiful bun. Here’s how she recreated the A-list look.
