Beautygram: How’d They Make Those Chignons at Jason Wu?

When Jason Wu asked for “elegant and chic” hair at his runway show today, Kérastase hairstylist Odile Gilbert responded with shiny, structural buns. After defining a slick center part, the stylist sectioned models’ hair into quadrants. The lowest section made a braided bun at the nape of the neck while the rest was hairsprayed and criss-crossed over the bun until, voilà!, Gilbert’s Art Deco look was finished. Two silver hair clips skewered the chignon (because there wasn’t enough going on back there already).
