Finishing off the year with a bang, one of my favourite looks was definitely Rochelle’s hair for the British Fashion Awards, where she stunned with a bold clip-in fringe crafted by me. I designed a sleek bun to set the stage, using Color Wow products for a flawless finish, and positioned it to accommodate Rochelle’s bob length hair. The custom-made fringe, which was pre-cut and blended with her natural hair, took centre stage, perfectly framing Rochelle’s features.

For Love Island, crafting Maya Jama’s long, curly ponytail stands out as one of my top looks in 2023. Whilst the challenge lay in melding length and texture seamlessly, I shaped and smoothed her curly locks into a sleek, long ponytail, using precise styling techniques to preserve the natural curls and achieve a refined, polished finish. 

 

Sofia’s Sleek Bun

Creating Sofia Richie’s sleek bun for her bridal fittings marked another standout look for me last year. The emphasis was on modern elegance, achieved through a middle parting and braided ends wrapped around in a tight bun for a distinctly contemporary finish. This mix of classic elements combined with the innovative braided wrapping showcased a seamless blend of tradition and trendiness. The style was sophisticated and served as a testament to the evolving landscape of bridal fashion and Sofia’s ‘old money’ style.

For Lori Harvey’s look at Milan Fashion Week, I went with a short, bouncy bob with a deep side part; it was just what her outfit needed – a bit of sass. Trust me, Lori can pull off bold styles effortlessly! I spiced up the classic bob by playing with layers and textures. The result? A modern bob that was chic and playful, the perfect fit for Milanese fashion. I finished it off using Andrew Fitzsimons Prism Shine Spray.

 

 Maya’s Mid Length

Lastly, Maya’s mid-length hair on Love Island was another personal favourite, radiating quality with its floating layers. The style was created to exude a sense of weightlessness, where each layer seamlessly transitioned into the next, creating a subtle yet mesmerising effect. As always, Maya effortlessly carried off this style, with a carefree yet chic vibe.
