The hair connoisseur gave Naomi an understated subtle do using a range of Moroccanoil hair products in order to create the look.

Inspiration for such a style came from the smooth lines of Naomi’s strapless gown which was designed by the high fashion house Gucci and also Studio 54.

In order to recreate this style keep the locks blunt and at collarbone length, and finish with a side sweeping sophisticated fringe. The length should appear a little longer at the front and somewhat higher at the back.
